Exploring the interrelated topics of Christology and discipleship
within the apocalyptic context of Mark's Gospel, Henderson focuses
on six passages: Mark 1: 16-20; 3: 13--15; 4: 1-34; 6: 7-13; 6:
32-44; 6: 45-52. Together, these passages indicate that the
disciples failed to understand not just Jesus' messianic identity
per se but the apocalyptic nature of his messiahship, as well as
its implications for their own participation in God's coming reign.
The implications of this for Mark's gospel as a whole ar situate
Mark's Christological claims within the broader context of the
apocalyptic 'gospel of God'. This lends coherence to Mark's bifocal
interest in miracle and passion. It also illuminates the
relationship between Mark's Jesus and his followers as those who
carry forward his own mission: to demonstrate the coming kingdom of
God, which is fully assured if not yet fully in view.
