About
The Gospel of Mark presents the life of Jesus (a biography) as a life destined for death and the life of discipleship corresponding to a life destined for daily crucifixion. A suffering Messiah paves the way for suffering discipleship. The disciples in the Gospels are presented as excited and expectant, clueless and learning, surprised and shocked, but don't perceive the reality of the true Messiahship until the cross.
