"The gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Those words not only begin Mark's gospel, but they also capture one of its most important themes--one that builds throughout the first eight chapters until it reaches its climax in Mark 8:29, where Peter acknowledges, "You are the Christ." Nothing is more important than this central focus of Mark's gospel because nothing is more necessary than knowing the truth about Jesus.
