Christ as servant is the basic theme of the gospel of Mark. Great care is taken to show the submissive attitude of Jesus Christ as He cares for the afflicted, heals the sick, and comforts the tormented. This self-study guide points out the key verse (Mark 10:45), which divides the gospel in two parts—the service and the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. By studying verse-by-verse this "book of action," you will experience what Christ did as well as what He said.
