Mark’s point of view of Jesus

Published on: Author: scruzas5@uoregon.edu 25 Comments

Jesus, in the Gospel of Mark is portrayed as more than a man. Mark, throughout the Gospel of Mark tells us that Jesus was of flesh and skin but also tells us what attributes he had that set him apart from the other humans. In the chapter of Mark 1:7, Mark quotes what John the baptizer said about Jesus; “the one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit”. In this passage we can understand that John thought that he was not at the same level of Jesus, telling us that he wasn’t even worthy to even untie Jesus sandals. We can also read and understand that Jesus was bringing more than a material aspect to his people and gentiles but was bringing the Holy Spirit something that no other man could bring. A question that can arise is, how does John’s word predict/state that Mark agreed with John? We can conclude that Mark agreed with John because he wrote about it and stated the same words to others, if Mark didn’t agreed he could have easily not included John’s word but he choose to include it in his Gospel. Another reason that what john said was important to Mark was that he stated John’s words in his first chapter instead of telling us his own words.

Mark also tells us the testimony of when Jesus healed a women. In the passage of Mark 5, it tells us of multiple healings. In verse 21 and on, it tells us about a woman who has a hemorrhage and how she came to Jesus for a healing. Mark says that the woman’s intention is to just touch Jesus so she can heal. No one knows about the intentions she has but has she approaches Jesus she is able to touch Jesus cloak and has she touched him she was healed. At that moment Jesus felt someone touch him but also take power from within him. He questions the crowd to who has touched him and the disciples tell him how can Jesus say that, if there is a big crowd surrounding him. This passage tells us in a way that Jesus had power to heal, something that many ordinary people could not do but also have the power to feel someone who has taken something from him without seeing with his eyes. Taking also in account that the women touché his cloak not his person, Jesus was able to feel his power being taken.

Mark also gives us an understanding of what a Son of God should do and undergo. In mark 8:31; “Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the elders, the chief priest and the scribes, and be killed and after three days rise”. In the Gospel we can get an understanding that Jesus was willing to die and feel all physical attributes. In this chapter we notice that Mark reminds us that Jesus is Flesh and blood and that he can feel all physical attributes to his body but yet he has power within him to withstand all pain and suffering just so others can be save. In that same chapter we can read and see that Jesus orders his follower to deny themselves to be able to be saved. To live under Gods rule a person needs to give up all material things that please them and take his cross and all the sufferings and undergo through all of it.

In the Gospel of Mark there were multiple sayings and words that describe Jesus. From the Gospel of Mark, I understood that Jesus was a man due to the fact that he was flesh and blood but he also had attributes that set him apart from others. Jesus had power to heal other but also have the power to withstand Satan and other suffering he had to undergo just for people he didn’t know.

  1. As concerning the Word of life, Luke 10 section 25-28 says: On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
    Luke 18 section 18-25 says: A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good–except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'” “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said. When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth. Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
    Matthew 5 section 43-48 says: “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
    In Old Testament, the Jewish people and their ancestors were given the Law to observe. First, What Adam and Eve should observe was that they could not eat the fruits from the tree of wisdom. Then, their son Cain was told that he should not kill. As sins became increased, the laws were also added more. Up to the generation of Moses, the Law in Old Testament was given to Israelites. We know that the Law is good and the Law is used to punish people who commit sins, but people cannot obey the Law because the sinful spirits are in people. Even that we know stealing and giving false testimony are sinful, but greedy and pride spirits in us drive us to do sinful things. So as Old Testament prophesied we need to get rid of our sinful nature from our spirits.
    Jeremiah 31 section 31-33 says: “The time is coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
    Ezekiel 36 section 24-27 says: “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
    The prophecies are fulfilled when Jesus begins to teach love. The two greatest commandments are ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'” Love is above the Law and if people have love they are free from the law of sin and death. People who are full of love will not think about stealing or giving false testimony but are merciful and they feed hungry people or give thirsty people something to drink or invite strangers in or clothe people who need clothes. The Law is for people who commit sins. Nobody will say that he will get reward because he does not steal before. But love is the grace we get. And with love we will get eternal life.
    Romans 13 section 8-10 says: Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
    Luke 17 section 20-21 says: Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say,’ Here it is,’ or ‘ There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is within you.”
    John 4 section 23-24 says: Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
