Jesus was often reaching out to people that have been left behind by the prevalent culture of the day. He begins the chapter with a targeted teaching on marriage, divorce and treating women equally; a particularly subversive teaching in a time and place where women resembled property in a marriage instead of a help-mate. He then talks about some of the most vulnerable people in a community through the lens of children. The Kingdom of God is for such as these. "The Gospel of Mark: Like a Child" is now available!
