From the beginning of Mark, the reader knows who Jesus is-the Messiah, the Son of God (Mark 1:1). However, people in the story struggle with understanding just who He is and what He is all about-except for those with demons. They know exactly who He is! The demons recognize Him and wither before His mighty words.
But Jesus rather consistently commands that they keep this information quiet. Why this command for secrecy? Bible students for centuries have mulled over this question. It even has a name in scholarship-the Messianic Secret. Why would Jesus want to keep quiet about who He is?
What will become clear in this journey through the Gospel of Mark is that not only is there secrecy in this book-there is also amazing revelation. It can rightly be called the Revelation/Secrecy Motif, and it runs through the Gospel of Mark. Although at the end of the book, all the secrecy is surprisingly replaced with a powerful revelation of Jesus.
It is a most remarkable story, told in a terse, fast-moving style with little commentary from the Gospel writer himself. He simply tells the story, and then lets the words, the deeds, the actions speak for themselves regarding the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth.🌏
