On Wednesday I begin a weekly bible reflection on the Gospel of Mark. Meant to be a dialogue between God's Word and those who choose to listen to it, I hope to encourage others to struggle with Mark and encounter the God that is speaking through Him. We will begin at the end. ONe of my favorite parts of one of my favorite movies, "When Harry Met Sally", is when Harry tells Sally about his dark side, his reflective side. He says that he is dark because he always reads the last page of a novel firt, in case he dies in the middle. Not exactly my reasoning for reading the end of Mark's gospel first, but an intersting thought nonetheless.
We begin at the end, where a mysterious cliffhanger leaves us questioning what happens next and what does it all mean for us? The Gospel ends in terror and silence.
So, we will hear the story, from the end to the beginning to the end. We'll take our time, too.
We meet at 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. at Zion, Akron.
