Explore the Bible: Mark (Spring 2019) by Calvin Wittman (Editor)


5 out of 5 stars  *****

This bible study covers Jesus riding into Jerusalem for the Passover feast which turns into the Last Supper and Jesus tells his apostles why He has come to this place at this time. The study ends with Jesus, the Christ, rising from the grave after his crucifixion and death on the cross before sunset on Friday, the day after the Last Supper and before the Sabbath. His resurrection occurs on Sunday. All events that happen in this span are prophesied over a thousand years earlier. 

The bible study class discuss these events using scripture from the Old and New Testament. The meaning of Christ's death and resurrection imprints on the soul's of believers that all men and women are forgiven of their sins through His sacrifice. Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah come to defeat death and prove there is everlasting life that awaits those who have faith in Him.

Today, Christianity is under attack in the United States more than ever before. It is important to find the truth about all these efforts to eliminate the moral basis that upholds American values. The closer one becomes to God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit - who dwells in all "saved" believers, the more intense temptation and direction by evil to disavow Christians and their faith becomes. 

It is difficult to stay the course alone. Study groups and regular attendance of worship service makes adherence to one's faith easier.Explore the Bible: Mark (Spring 2019), is a great study that demonstrates how the battle is spiritual between evil and righteousness and that the battle is already won for those who live in Jesus Christ as their savior and redeemer.
