[Mark] wanted people to know about Jesus� life, teachings, death, and resurrection so that they could endure persecution. Challenge and encouragement in the gospel of Mark helped Christians get through their time of trial. The Christian movement looked like it was going to cave into the powers of Roman oppression. Failure seemed inevitable. Mark as much as said, �Think again. Jesus overcame the obstacles placed in his way, even death. You Christians can be overcomers, too.�

� from the Introduction

Jesus was a walking contradiction here on earth. The Son of God, the Lord of all creation, took the humble form of a servant. He did not assert his lordship over humanity, but rather sought out the poor, destitute, and marginalized, bringing the good news of salvation to those most in need. His heart of service led him all the way to his final act of service � his death on the cross and subsequent resurrection. He overcame sin and death through service.

In this continuation of his series on the gospels, Ron Lavin highlights this theme of service overcoming adversity as portrayed in the gospel of Mark. This gospel was originally written to encourage and build up those early Christians struggling under the weight of persecution, and it still serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement today. Ideal for individual or group study, The Servant Lord guides readers through several key scriptures in Mark�s gospel, drawing us to join with our servant Lord in pressing on to reach our world with the good news.
