Only briefly mentioned in the Gospels, Joseph of Arimathea is a mere footnote in Scripture and a postscript to the great salvation story. However, his story teaches us that an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, can be an instrument in the hands of God to be used for His purposes.

Mark uses the word “immediately” over forty times in his Gospel, emphasizing the intentional nature of Jesus’ ministry.

Through Mark’s Gospel, we are reminded that true greatness in God’s kingdom comes not through selfish ambition, but by being the servant of all.
