Hope Church

Mark places two moments side by side to show us the clear mission of Jesus. As He predicts His death again, we see that He is unwavering—He came to deal with sin once and for all. Meanwhile, the disciples miss it, arguing about greatness and position. So Jesus refocuses them—and us—on what His kingdom truly looks like: welcoming the overlooked and serving others as a way of life. The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many. The question for us is simple: is our focus aligned with His mission?
