The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.- Mark 1:1 (NKJV)
The Gospel of Mark clearly opens with the words that explain that it is about "the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." The book is about Jesus. In fact, as Jesus embarks on His earthly ministry by the Sea of Galilee, His words echo this opening verse: Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” The Gospel of Mark is about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When we read the Gospel of Mark, we see the Lord on the move and going to and fro as He interacts with mankind. It is an account of the Almighty touching the flesh and spirits of man. It offers a view of Jesus in communion with His fellow man, publicans, lepers, the blind, and countless others.
When He started His ministry, He was on the move.
When He called the fishermen to become fishers of men, He was on the move.
When He taught and touched others, He was on the move.
The Gospel of Mark shows us Jesus Christ as a man on the move.
