Advent Christian Education

The Gospel of Mark

Where's the baby? The Gospel of Mark doesn't have a nativity story - so where's the Advent message? It's in every aspect of Jesus' life, to his death and beyond. The Incarnation - God come to hearth in human form to be baptized, teach, heal, eat, and die - is what we celebrate at Christmas. Tracy Daub's Holy Disruption: Discovering Advent in the Gospel of Mark, offers a guide to reading the gospel of Mark through the month of December. A copy of her Daily Scripture Reading Guide is available for pickup on the table as you enter the Sanctuary or click here .
