When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the whole city stirred with one question: “Who is this?” (Matt. 21:10). That same question reverberates through the Gospel of Mark — and still echoes in our culture today. Mark doesn’t merely offer theological claims about Jesus; he constructs a narrative arc that progressively unveils His identity in dramatic, revelatory moments.
Here are seven powerful ways Mark’s Gospel reveals who Jesus truly is:
1. Mark opens with a bold declaration: Jesus is the Son of God
Mark wastes no time: “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1). From the first verse, we’re told that Jesus is not just a man—He is the divine Son, the visible Yahweh revealing the invisible God. At His baptism, the heavens rip open and the Father declares, “You are my beloved Son” (Mark 1:11).
This is more than a title; it’s a declaration of identity and purpose. Jesus isn’t merely bringing good news — He is the good news.
2. Even demons recognize His authority
In Mark 1:24, a demon cries out, “I know who you are — the Holy One of God!” This is repeated throughout the Gospel. Even hell knows who Jesus is. Acts 19shows that demons knew Paul and Jesus, but not everyone else. The question is — does hell know your name?
Spiritual authority comes not from titles but from alignment with the King. Demons only bow to one name — and that’s the name of Jesus. As Jesus said, “If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you” (Matt. 12:28). The kingdom comes not only in word, but in power.
3. His works and words reveal His divinity
