Title: Why Jesus Came (27)
Series: The Gospel of Mark-A Journey with Jesus
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Mark 10:32-45
- We are studying the Gospel of Mark on Sunday mornings as we learn what it means to be faithful followers of Christ. Find your copy of God's Word and open to Mark 10:32-45. Today, we come to what many believe is the key passage in the Gospel of Mark that contains the key verse for the entire Gospel, verse 45.
- This reveals the ultimate reason Jesus came. It gets at the heart of the gospel, the pattern for all who would follow Christ. We are sent to serve, even laying down our lives if necessary for the sake of the gospel. READ TEXT - PRAY

If we're talking real sleep, shouldn't it be "sleep like a teenager on a Saturday"? And don't get me started on "rush hour." Have you ever been in rush hour? Nothing is rushing! It's more like "sit-in-your-car-and-question-your-life-choices hour." Then there's this one-why do we "drive on parkways" but "park on driveways"? Who came up with that? It sounds like someone's just messing with us on purpose. And-why do cartoon suns always wear sunglasses? What exactly are they protecting their eyes from? And while we're on the topic of head-scratchers, let's talk about hot dogs. Why do hot dog buns come in packs of eight, but the hot dogs come in packs of ten? Are they trying to make us do math while we're grocery shopping? Here's a nugget of wisdom: if the early bird catches the worm, why do we say that the good things come to those who wait? It feels like we can't win!*
