The end of the public ministry in Mark- Next week we begin the “road to Jerusalem” where Jesus gives up His life life for his followers. Each of the portions of the central ministry are very similar – each has a prediction of the passion, followed by an non-understanding response, followed by some more teaching. The difference between power and authority – “power” says I’m in control, you’ll so it my way whereas “authority” says T\this is the way I see it, how can you help me out?
