Mark’s recounting of the life of Jesus has a singular purpose – “repent and believe in the gospel” (1:15).  As we reach the end of this book, Mark gives his final appeal to the reader in light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  If you are struggling to trust Christ or if you are not a follower of Jesus, you get a front-row seat on why you should have no doubt in placing your trust in Jesus.
