Analytical Bible Expositor: Mark

Overview

In this fascinating commentary volume, author John G. Butler writes, "Mark is the servant Gospel. Therefore, like a servant, the book of Mark moves very quickly. It tells the story of Christ in only sixteen chapters whereas the other gospels take longer. The brevity of Mark does not diminish the value of the book, however. It is a very valuable book and at times gives us insights not found in the other Gospels." Thanks to the heartfelt delivery of the information gleaned by Butler in this commentary on the Gospel of Mark, the instructions for proper service in the name of God are presented in a manner which will speak to any reader, be they student or teacher in the study of scriptures.

“That the disciples encountered a storm as a result of following Christ’s command indicates that doing His will does not exempt us from troubles. But it will guarantee deliverance from the troubles. Troubles that come in the will of God are much easier to experience than troubles that come because of disobedience to the will of God.” (Page 67)

“The loss in the crying. ‘He began to cry out’ (Mark 10:47). This crying out by the blind man indicated that he forsook his begging in order to get help from Christ. Normally he would be crying out for donations, but getting help from Christ was more important than getting money from people. The rich man was just the opposite. He valued his wealth more than Christ.” (Pages 184–185)

“While the lamp parable is used elsewhere to speak of one’s testimony, here the context uses it to speak of Divine truth. Christ is speaking about how one hears and receives the Word of God.” (Page 61)

“Thus faith prompted their bringing one to Christ. You will bring no one to Christ unless there is faith in Christ. Unbelief does not evangelize people for Jesus Christ.” (Page 135)

“Jesus believed in beginning His day with prayer. This helps one during the day” (Page 27)
