Mark HBS 42

Key-word, “Service;Key-verse, 10:45.-Mark is traditionally connected with Peter, who to the Romans opened the door of faith (Acts 12:12). This is the Gospel of the works of Christ (Acts 10:38). Written for the Roman, whose watchword was “Power,” it exhibits omnipotence in the mighty Miracle-Worker, and then the omnipotence of love in the crowning miracle of his passion and resurrection. The symbol of this Gospel is the sacrificial bullock; first at the plow in service, then on the altar in sacrifice. [p. 98] HBS 42.5
