The Gospel of Mark, our study for this quarter written by Thomas Shepherd, can be divided into two halves. Most of the first eight chapters deal with the question of who Jesus is.
The answer is displayed in Jesus’ teachings and miracles, which clearly reveal that He is the Messiah. The second half of the book (Mark 8:31 until the end of the book) answer the question of where Jesus is going.
The answer, of course, is to the cross.
