As Mark continued to reveal who Jesus is, he made one thing clear: Jesus did not do ministry alone. Jesus chose His disciples to be His companions and His partners in His Kingdom work. These twelve disciples spent the better part of three years with Jesus, listening to Him teach and watching Him perform miracles.
Jesus did not choose perfect men to be His disciples. They bickered, were slow to learn, had very little faith, and one even betrayed Him. They ministered with Jesus, were given the power to heal and perform miracles, and took the Good News of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Jesus could have accomplished His purpose on earth alone. He chose these twelve men, not because He needed them, but so they could share His incredible work with the world.
Lord, thank You for the ministry of the disciples. Thank You for showing me their flaws and successes so I can learn from both. You can do mighty things through anyone, even me. Please bring others alongside me as I seek to bring Your name to the ends of the earth. Amen.

The Gospel of Mark is a powerful account of the life of Jesus. It displays the character of Jesus on every page, from His willingness to suffer and serve to His power and deity miraculously displayed. With every scene the author asks, “Where is your faith?” As we read and study the Gospel of Mark we can’t help but answer this important question.
