When we look at the Gospel of Mark, we encounter a Jewish People who were in expectation of a coming Messiah. They had all sots of ideas about who this Messiah would be, but he was very different from their expectations. Instead of coming as a conquering, earthly king, Mark reveals Christ as the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 52-53.
