New Testament Overviewنموونە
The Gospel of Mark focusses on Jesus' purpose and identity.
Jesus is the Messiah, the one who fulfils God's covenant promises to Abraham (Genesis 12:3).
Who do you say that Jesus is? The testimony of the Gospel of Mark should be sufficient for us to echo Peter's words from today's reading.
Has everyone in your home accepted Jesus as the Messiah and Lord of their lives? Why not confirm with each of them by asking, "Who do you say that Jesus is?"
After reading the passage, use these questions as the basis for your discussion.
1. What stood out for you / what was interesting and why? (The Holy Spirit’s prompting)
2. What was the passage about / the main message / big idea? (The Word of God)
3. What should we do / how can we apply this message? (Faith in Action)

About this Plan
This plan is designed for families (our girls were under 10 when we used it), but can also be used for personal devotion. Each day, the same three questions are used to explore the text. It provides a comprehensive "bird's eye view" of the New Testament; the aim is understanding the fulfilment of God's covenant as promised to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) and prophesied by Jeremiah (31:31).
