The Gospel of the Son of
God
Mark
begins his account with “The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of
God”
This is
just the beginning. It is to be enfolded
and continued.
Interestingly,
Mark has the beginning but does not have “the end” of his account of the Gospel.
What
enfolded in Jesus’ public life and ministry and his cross continues.
The title
“the Son of God” appears two more time in Mark.
First, by the voice from the cloud at the transfiguration identifies
Jesus as “my beloved Son.” Second, when
Jesus dies on the cross, the centurion acclaims, “Truly this man was the Son of
God.”
The
Gospel of Jesus continues in us when our lives are lived and offered for others
– as Jesus did.
