Reflection Quotes:
“In contrast to the predominant messianic expectation at the time of Jesus, which focused on political and economic change, the messianic kingdom Jesus inaugurated began at the very heart of the human race: its enmity against God as creator.” (Hans Bayer, ESV Expository Commentary on Mark)
“The kingdom of God describes the activity of God’s reign over his people and the world. Jesus is calling men into his kingdom, subduing the forces of the kingdom of darkness, healing the sick, removing effects of sin, and offering forgiveness through his life, death, and resurrection” (Sinclair Ferguson, Let's Study Mark)
