Who was/is Jesus and what is his significance today for your life and for our culture?

The Gospel of Mark with the prophecy of Isaiah that a messenger will be coming before the birth of the Lord . The first few verses show Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist , the one who is regarded as the `messenger . With that , Jesus is then the one assumed as the Greater One after Him

Jesus chose 12 men and made disciples out of them . And then he started teaching and performing miracles , casting out demons , healing the sick and bringing up the dead . Jesus , in the eyes of the people before , is

br one miracle worker . He traveled Judea , Galilee , Capernaum , and other nearby areas . He became popular by name of Jesus of Nazareth . He goes into towns and villages with a commanding authority to preach the teachings of God . The amazing things that he can do had awed many followers , disciples , believers , and even detractors

He was assumed by many to be sent forth by God to save men . But others mostly the Pharisees and the Sadducees , think otherwise . He constantly made the mute talk , the blind see , and the lame walk . People who had shown him faith and believed in Him were healed from all their sicknesses and diseases . When he teaches the word of God , he uses parables . His words are a puzzle to those who do not believe in him enlightenment to those who do believe

Jesus traveled over lands and seas to teach the word of God . His message : repent from your sins and go back to the loving embrace of God Then the promise of salvation is ensured . And because of the manner Jesus speaks of the love of God , a lot of his followers had regarded him as the true Son of God

This is the very reason why the Pharisees and the Sadducees were alarmed . They conspired to persecute Jesus , and eventually nailed him on the cross . They put him through agony . They charged him with blasphemy But Jesus never fought against nor accepted the blame . He continued to be the good soul he is . He understood his persecutors . He forgave them Instead of using his powers to relieve himself of the pain and misery he left to God what should be made of them . He has decided to live on the prophecy : the prophecy that he will be saving the world from their sins . And even on the cross , Jesus has done miracles . During the hour of his death , the earth shook and the skies dimmed . He has really proven himself as the Son of God

The story of Jesus is a series of supernatural incidents . The Gospel of Mark openly illustrates how Jesus walked through the journey that God made for him , to save men . Given that the Gospel of Mark has solid foundation that goes with it , a person walking on earth doing miracles and proclaiming the good news of salvation is indeed one person of authority , power , and divinity . It would be easy to believe in Him especially...
