Mark: The Immediate Gospel

A GOSPEL of Immediacy What do you do when you have the most amazing news in the world? You share it! When do you share it? Immediately! With whom do you share it? With everyone! Where do you share it? Everywhere! Immediately [G2117 Euthus]! Mark uses that word forty times. Everyone [G3956 Pas] surfaces five times and is used not only for all people, but also all kinds of people. Rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, sick and well -- all people, all kinds of people. Everywhere [G3840 Pantothen], found three times, means Jesus not only goes to all places but he also speaks to all sides Immediately, everyone, everywhere. This amazing news must travel to everyone, everywhere. To all people and all kinds of people, to all places and all sides; and it must do so with immediacy. That is the essence of the Gospel of Peter as told by his beloved pupil, Mark.
