The Gospel of Mark: Ransomed to Serve

Jesus invites us to see that following Him means following Him to the cross. He doesn’t just call us to believe in what He did—He wants us to be shaped by it. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many. That means we have to first receive the reality that He gave His life to rescue us from sin and from the empty, self-focused ways we used to live. But it doesn’t stop there—ransomed people live differently. We don’t cling to status or success. We don’t demand to be served. We follow the example of Jesus and live to serve others. In a world that pushes ambition and self-fulfillment, Jesus calls us to something better: a life of purpose, freedom, and love, shaped by the cross.
