the gospel of mark:
kingdom come
In the first century, there were people designated as runners - young men who would go ahead to the town to proclaim the coming of the Roman Empire. The good news that Rome was here. Jesus enters the world proclaiming a new kingdom where He himself is King. But he didn't come to conquer and display his warrior-like power over his constituents. Instead, in Mark 10:45 Jesus says, "For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give himself as a ransom for many." The Gospel of Mark is the good news - the coming of a subversive kingdom by The Servant King.
