Christ Is Center Of The Story
- Mark frames the story to keep Jesus central rather than the human drama of the disciples.
- Discipleship is defined by who you follow, not by who the follower is.
Authority And Power Of The Call
- Jesus' call displays authority and an irresistible power that compels immediate response.
- The disciples left everything because Christ's call carried sovereign authority and grace.
Redemptive Mission, Not Self-Help
- Jesus' mission is redemptive, not a promise of comfort or prosperity.
- Following Christ means participation in seeking and saving the lost, not personal benefit.
