Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are

hopeful that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it. Hi, friends. Welcome back to You're in the

Bible. My name is Alexa, and I'm here with my co-host, Beth. Hi, everyone. So today, we are moving our discussion to the New Testament passage for the week, which is Mark 1045. And I have to say, I actually laughed out loud when I turned the page of my study and saw how short this passage is compared to the Old Testament passage that we read this week. So, Alexa, will you go ahead and read Mark 1045 for us? Yes.

But even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.

So Beth, do you want to show your annotation takeaways with us?

Yeah.

So while this is a short passage, there's actually so much to unpack in here.

And so first we can look at phrases that point us to Christ. So I highlighted the phrase, Son of Man, because throughout the Gospels, especially in the Gospel of Mark, this is a

title that Jesus uses to refer to himself. And then I also highlighted ransom, since we know that

Jesus paid our ransom in order to bring us back to God after we had gone to Shrey.

That's great. It definitely is tough to look at the phrases that point to Christ without wanting

to unpack them. Is there anything else that you want to share? Yeah, I don't want to say too

much else because we are going to talk about this in much more detail tomorrow, but I will

draw attention to the second to last prompt, which asked us to notice the difference in how the

son of man did and did not come. And so we see that he did not come to be served, but rather he

came to serve. And so obviously, we can already see the connections to the servant song in Isaiah,

but I will stop there for today. Well, that makes me excited to talk more about
