We now have come to the end of this glorious gospel of Mark. What a powerful message of Christ’s life and ministry, of His death and resurrection, has been written down for us here. Although the gospel of Mark is the shortest of all the gospels, it surely is not lacking in spiritual depth, if we think about it in relation to the other gospels. And truly there are many things written in it which show us aspects of our Lord’s life and His words which we never would have known, if he had not written it. But the Lord wanted it written so that we would know Christ better. Here in this last section we find our Lord’s parting words to His apostles before His glorious ascension into heaven, and His words showed to them, and they show to us here today, that He is victorious over all His enemies and ours. In applying this truth to you today I want you to see, 1st of all – That Christ’s victory will be shown forth in the preaching of the gospel to every creature. 2nd – Christ’s victory was shown forth in the apostolic time period by sign gifts. And 3rd – Christ’s victory has, is, and will be shown forth in His people’s labors of evangelism as they remember His Ascension and His being seated at the right hand of God. In understanding the importance of these things, we can better understand our own part in serving Christ and laboring in His kingdom at this point in Church History.
