The gospel is not just a message about Christ; Christ Himself is the good news.
About this message
Mark begins his Gospel with a single line announcing the start of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Starting there, Pastor Vitali gives an overview of the whole book around four themes: Christ's person as truly God and truly man, His purpose in Mark 10:45, His passion in Jerusalem, and His preeminence in the resurrection. Then he asks listeners to turn from their idols to Christ.
For anyone who wants to see who Jesus is in Mark.
