The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus as a serving king, emphasizing his compassion and humility. Unlike traditional royalty, he dines with sinners and wears a crown of thorns, highlighting his role as a suffering servant. This study guide invites readers to explore the profound themes of service and sacrifice, encouraging a deeper understanding of Jesus' call to discipleship.

In the book of Mark we meet Jesus, the man who is King. He shatters our expectations. He comes to serve and not to be served. He eats with sinners rather than royalty. And his crown is made of thorns. This is the one who calls us to follow him.
