(The International Uniform Lesson
on the above topic for Jan. 2 is Mark
1O:35-45. the Golden Text being Mark
1914, "And whosoever would BE first
among you, shall be servant of ALL"
This lesson is Introductory to a six

Mark given in the authors own Bible

vim E. Bell, Toledo, Ohio)
John Marx was the young compan
ion and servant of the Apostle Peter
who wrote the story of Jesus after
that apostles death as he had often
heard it from Peters lips. His is the
earliest of the four accounts of the
gospel.
Gospel for the Romans.
Mark wrote in Rome and for the
Romans, as is evidenced by his fire.
quent use OF Latin terms in explana-
ton of Jewish words and customs.
Matthew wrote for the Jews to show
them Jesus as hlNS Oh the jews, Auhc
wrote for the Greeks to show them
Jesus as the Son of Man; John wrote
for all to show Jesus Son of Cod
Mark does not often refer to the Old
Testament prophecies, as Matthew
does, for the Romans knew little of
these prophecies and cared less. For
the same reason. he gives no geneal-
ogy of esus as Matthew and luke do
for those to whom they wrote. To the
Romans the great things of life were
action, service, efficiency, and Mark
seizes this as his opportunity to pic
ture Jesus Christ to them appealingly
as the mighty wonder working SER
want of God.
The Gospel of Action.
Marks key expressions are straight
way" or Immediately" which, with
kindred expressions occur AZ times in
his story. His keynote is sounded in
1O:35-45 in the words, whatsoever Of
you will be the chiefest, shall be ser
want of all. For even the Son of man
came not to be ministered unto, but
to minister, and to give his life a
ransom for many" AS befits the story
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-12-31

of a servant, Mark is characteristical-
ly a gospel of deeds rather than of
discourses. He has room for 20 mir
acles and references to many more,
but he fines room for only four para
bles. Jesus and his disciples are con-
stantly at work. If he seeks rest from
the work by retirement to the desert
his purpose is defeated by throngs for
whom he works a miracle; or if his
rest comes in sleep during the storm
at sea it is disturbed by his disciples
to perform for them the mighty work
of stilling the tempest. Thus disease
demons, darkness of the soul and
depths of the sea are wrought upon
by this ministering servant of God.
to the good Of men and the glory Of
God. If. you want to find in nutshell
the "Petrine gospel of works, as
Mark is called, you can read it in
Peters own words in Acts 10:36-43.
The Cross i'm Mark.
Mark even removes the offense of
the cross from the Roman mind by
showing it as the elimination of all
his service for humanity, and remind
ing them that the Roman centurion
in charge of the crucifixion went
away from the cross saying, "Trulv
this man was the Son Of Cod" Little
wonder then that the early Christians
used the OK as the symbol to repre-
sent Marks gospel in the art of the
early church, for the OK represented
both service and sacrifice, as the lion
represented the kingship of Jesus as
set forth by Matthew, and as the man
symbolized the humanity of Jesus as
set forth by Luke, and the eagle SYM
bolized the deity of Christ as set forth
by John.
With Mark the working of Jesus did
not cease even with his resurrection
and ascension, for after he was ere
ceived up into heaven, and sat on the
right hand of God, and his disciples
went forth and preached everywhere,
the Lord worked with them, confirm
ing the word with signs following"
