A. Introduction: The unique character of the Gospel of Mark. 1. Revelation 4:7 describes the cherubim around God's throne as beings with four faces: a lion, a calf, a man, and an eagle. By long tradition, the church has attributed one of these "faces" to each of the Gospels, according to the character and message of the particular Gospel.

SON OF GOD. In Mark 1:1 Jesus is called “the Son of God.”. One layer of meaning here may highlight the deity of Christ: Jesus is God’s Son in that he is himself God. Another layer of meaning, however, connects the title “Son of God” in Mark 1:1 with a whole-Bible trajectory. Adam was “the son of God” (Luke 3:38).
Mark's Gospel is a simple, succinct, unadorned, yet vivid account of Jesus' ministry, emphasizing more what Jesus did than what he said. Mark moves quickly from one episode in Jesus' life and ministry to another, often using the adverb "immediately" (see note on 1:12 ). The book as a whole is characterized as "The beginning of the gospel" ( 1:1 ).
