Failing Forward

Mark's gospel is the first one of the 4.  The word 'immediately' is prominently featured.  This is a gospel of action.  Written to mostly gentile Roman saints who needed an historical account of Jesus' life, ministry, passion & death.  John Mark (son of Peter - spiritual & literal?) knew something of failure and yet he is not benched to sit but enlisted for faithful service to our Servant King Jesus.  He Failed Forward and so can we.
