Jesus' stunning actions in the Gospel of Mark make it clear that he was redefining and reconstituting the people of God based on their response to and relationship with him. Whatever you may believe about Jesus, he made it clear he had come to set things right and invites us to be included in that mission. The response to his claims, millennia ago and today, are a dividing line that defines our own relationship to the kingdom he was inaugurating and the family he was gathering.
