The Gospel of Mark is often seen as the least important of the four Gospels. Primarily, this is due to its brevity and general lack of distinctive features. However, understanding Mark’s intended audience for his Gospel is vital to understanding why it is so powerful...
“When Joseph was dying, Mary sat at the head of his bed, holding him in her arms. Jesus stood just below her near Joseph’s breast. The whole room was brilliant with light and full of angels. After his death, his hands were crossed on his breast, he was wrapped from head to foot in a white winding sheet, laid in a narrow casket, and placed in a very beautiful tomb, the gift of a good man.”
