WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.919 Mark's biography of Jesus is written about 65 AD. 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:08.480 It's about 35 years after the death of Jesus. 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.419 And Mark writes really vividly the stories and the sayings of Jesus 00:00:13.419 --> 00:00:17.059 and there are people who are still alive who had witnessed those events. 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:23.160 And they were events which were so significant to those who witnessed them 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.480 that they told the story over and over and over again. 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.480 It's the first and it's the earliest account of Jesus. 00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:35.020 Really unusually a number of the New Testament letters are written 00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:36.600 before the Gospels are written down. 00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.060 A Gospel. 00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:46.560 It's a declaration about who Jesus was and what he came to do 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.659 and Mark is so important and so accurate 00:00:49.659 --> 00:00:53.480 that Luke and Matthew will later write their own biographies 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.479 biographies based on large parts of Mark. 00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.539 Matthew and Luke use lots of Mark in them. 00:01:00.779 --> 00:01:02.780 I was surprised as I prepared for today 00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:07.399 because I saw that this is an Italian Gospel. 00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:11.259 It's written to an audience like us, 00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.780 people in the Western world, people from the Western world, 00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:15.459 people not from the Jewish world. 00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.079 Mark tells the story about a Jewish man called Jesus 00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.659 but he uses Roman words and expressions and ideas. 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.939 He talks about legions of demons, 00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:29.039 about the army as the praetorium, 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.019 the commander as a centurion. 00:01:32.140 --> 00:01:34.079 He uses Roman money and expressions 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.079 when he talks about a denarius 00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:39.079 and two small copper lepta, 00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:44.159 two Roman tiny coins that the widows put into the treasury. 00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.899 And even when he talks about the trial of Jesus, 00:01:48.039 --> 00:01:50.500 he tells the events in an Italian way, 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.399 in terms of four watches of the night 00:01:53.399 --> 00:01:55.640 instead of the Jewish way with three watches. 00:01:57.659 --> 00:02:00.840 And I think if he was here telling us the story this morning, 00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:03.560 he would be painting the picture 00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.239 with terms that we understand. 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:07.719 He'd be telling the same story 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.539 but he'd talk about dollars and cents 00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:11.419 and army and SAS and parliament 00:02:11.419 --> 00:02:14.539 and lieutenant colonels to tell the story about Jesus 00:02:14.539 --> 00:02:17.939 in ways and means with which we could readily identify. 00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:21.939 So you ask this question, who is Mark? 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.959 Colossians chapter 4 tells us that he's Barnabas' cousin. 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.019 Acts chapter 15 tells us 00:02:29.019 --> 00:02:33.819 that he is the source of a sharp disagreement 00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:35.979 between Paul and Barnabas. 00:02:36.899 --> 00:02:39.659 He'd been part of Paul and Barnabas' team 00:02:39.659 --> 00:02:41.180 on the first missionary journey 00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:44.680 and it seems like he got cold feet along the way 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:45.419 and he came home. 00:02:46.659 --> 00:02:48.740 And they're getting ready to go out on their next journey 00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:50.740 and Paul feels let down by him 00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:52.120 and says, I don't want him to go with me. 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.280 So Paul and Barnabas divide over Mark. 00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:59.800 And later on in 2 Timothy chapter 4 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.519 when Paul says, get Mark and bring him with you 00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:05.000 because he is helpful to me in my ministry, 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.599 it clearly shows that they'd been reconciled. 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.939 Perhaps even more significant is Mark's connection to Peter 00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:19.460 and you get a glimpse of that in 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 13. 00:03:21.219 --> 00:03:22.379 Peter writes, 00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:39.599 It's strange language but there's this clear connection 00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:41.319 between Peter and Mark. 00:03:42.340 --> 00:03:44.400 When you hear Babylon in the Bible 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.259 you have to think evil empire. 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.060 Peter is using hidden language. 00:03:50.060 --> 00:03:52.479 He's writing from the capital of the world. 00:03:52.539 --> 00:03:54.780 The capital of the world at this time is Rome. 00:03:55.819 --> 00:03:56.860 So when he says, 00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:58.259 She who is in Babylon 00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:01.039 it's a way of saying the church who is in Rome 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.300 sends greetings 00:04:02.300 --> 00:04:04.460 and so does Mark 00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:05.740 who's here as well. 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:09.840 1 Peter 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:11.740 is probably, 00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:13.879 this letter is probably written 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.439 just before Peter's death 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.360 and history tells us 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:18.240 that he was crucified 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.920 in a similar way to the Apostle Paul 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.620 upside down in a Roman circus 00:04:21.620 --> 00:04:22.719 by Emperor Nero. 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:26.740 Mark has been 00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:28.120 a companion. 00:04:28.259 --> 00:04:29.120 So you see out of Acts 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.740 and you see out of the New Testament letters 00:04:30.740 --> 00:04:32.259 that Mark has been 00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:33.159 both a companion 00:04:33.159 --> 00:04:35.240 of the Apostle Paul 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.959 and a companion 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:38.659 of the Apostle Peter. 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.220 And he's also been 00:04:41.220 --> 00:04:42.439 on ministry assignment 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.279 with Barnabas, 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:43.980 his cousin, 00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:45.020 as well. 00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:48.480 And so he's heard 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:49.700 the gospel preached 00:04:49.700 --> 00:04:50.600 by these men. 00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:53.420 He's heard them 00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:54.620 tell first hand 00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:55.840 about their experiences 00:04:55.840 --> 00:04:57.439 with the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.160 They were eyewitnesses. 00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:01.660 They heard what Jesus said. 00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.540 They saw what Jesus did. 00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:05.780 And Mark has probably seen 00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:06.860 both of them die. 00:05:09.020 --> 00:05:10.520 And so he writes down 00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:11.180 this gospel. 00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:13.640 Key witnesses are dead. 00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:15.200 And what he does, 00:05:15.259 --> 00:05:16.560 he commits their preaching 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.020 and teaching to writing. 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.800 He writes down the message 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.540 which has been seeing 00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:22.620 men and women 00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:23.780 and boys and girls 00:05:23.780 --> 00:05:25.600 from different ethnicities 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.740 and nations 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:27.660 coming to know 00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:28.700 and believe in Christ 00:05:28.700 --> 00:05:29.800 all over the world. 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:32.580 So it's multicultural, 00:05:32.900 --> 00:05:34.700 it's multi-generational preaching 00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:35.600 which has brought 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.020 many people to faith. 00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:39.680 and Mark is a preacher 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:41.060 who just wants to grab 00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:42.399 people's imaginations 00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.079 and hearts 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:44.240 with the importance 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.240 of this message 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:45.959 about Jesus. 00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:50.120 And so he begins. 00:05:51.180 --> 00:05:51.939 The beginning 00:05:51.939 --> 00:05:53.000 of the gospel 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:54.339 about Jesus Christ, 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:55.159 the Son of God. 00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:59.880 And we are so familiar 00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:00.980 that we just do not see 00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:02.320 the glory of what he's saying. 00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:04.380 He makes a stunning declaration 00:06:04.380 --> 00:06:05.960 from the centre 00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:07.300 of the evil empire 00:06:07.300 --> 00:06:08.360 where the so-called 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.660 God-King Nero 00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:10.680 has his home. 00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:12.040 Mark announces 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:12.620 the beginning 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:13.580 of the ministry 00:06:13.580 --> 00:06:14.900 of Jesus the King 00:06:14.900 --> 00:06:16.500 who is the actual 00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:17.320 Son of God, 00:06:17.580 --> 00:06:18.520 the one and only 00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:19.340 Son of God. 00:06:20.940 --> 00:06:22.140 Calling it gospel 00:06:22.140 --> 00:06:23.420 is loaded as well. 00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:24.800 Gospels are common enough 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.040 word outside the Bible. 00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:27.420 It means glad tidings 00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:28.960 but there is only 00:06:28.960 --> 00:06:30.140 one known place 00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:31.160 outside the Bible 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.980 where it is written 00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:32.759 in the singular 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:33.560 where it says 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:34.699 glad tidings 00:06:34.699 --> 00:06:37.360 and it is used 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:38.000 to declare 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.379 one really big bit 00:06:39.379 --> 00:06:40.200 of good news. 00:06:41.819 --> 00:06:42.379 Archaeologists 00:06:42.379 --> 00:06:43.180 found a calendar 00:06:43.180 --> 00:06:43.700 inscription 00:06:43.700 --> 00:06:45.040 from about 9 BC 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.240 referring to the birth 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.540 of Emperor Augustus. 00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:49.080 He was the king 00:06:49.080 --> 00:06:50.160 when Jesus was born. 00:06:51.220 --> 00:06:51.980 And the description 00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:53.300 describes 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:53.920 the birthday 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:54.879 of Augustus 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:55.400 the king 00:06:55.400 -->

00:07:11.759 North Korean 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:12.680 type dictators 00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:13.379 their birth 00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:14.199 was seen to be 00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:14.639 an event 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:15.580 of world shaping 00:07:15.580 --> 00:07:16.580 significance. 00:07:18.460 --> 00:07:18.920 And so 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:19.800 with a very 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:20.960
