Many people joined me in January as we read through the Gospel of Matthew.
Would you like to keep going?
Now that you have set a pattern in your life of reading the Bible every day, why not turn that pattern into a habit? Let's read the Gospel of Mark together.
Whether you read through Matthew and you are continuing or you are beginning with Mark, today is a great day to get started.
Here's what the Lexham Bible Dictionary gives as an introduction to Mark's Gospel:
MARK, GOSPEL OF Second Gospel in the New Testament canon, but generally held to be the first composed. Traditionally ascribed to John Mark, who traveled with Paul and Barnabas. The Gospel of Mark was likely written to persuade Gentile readers in Rome that Jesus’ death on the cross - a shameful form of execution in Roman society - did not invalidate his claims to messiahship and deity or his proclamation of the kingdom of God, but rather that his resurrection, miracles, and prediction of his death vindicated his claims.
With only 16 chapters, it won't be difficult to finish Mark in the 28 days of February. Let's go.
