The book of Mark is a fantastical book. The Gospel of Mark records many aspects of Jesus’ ministry, but it has no account of his birth. This gospel begins when Jesus is already an adult. Mark portrays Jesus as the suffering servant. As you read through Marks Gospel you see the actions of Jesus. Jesus is constantly on the move. Mark focuses on those actions and shows Jesus as a servant, performing miracles, and that he was crucified and resurrected.
