The Urgency of Sharing our Faith
There are sixteen chapters in the gospel of Mark. The word immediately (eutheōs in Greek) appears 35 times, an average of more than twice in each chapter. Why does Mark use this word so often? Because when it comes to sharing the faith, it is all about urgency. There is simply no time to waste in proclaiming the good news.
