Tim Keller | January 18, 2015
Before you can understand what Jesus came to do, you need to understand who Jesus is.
In Mark 1, we see the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. He gives his message in a nutshell. He calls his first disciples. And then he begins to embody his message in the way he ministers. There are few places in the Bible that give such a fruitful answer to the question of who Jesus is.
This passage teaches us six things about Jesus: 1) he’s the king, 2) he’s the king of your salvation, 3) he’s the king of your mind, 4) he’s the king of your heart, 5) he’s the king of your life path, and 6) he’s the king who can be trusted.

In The Prodigal God, Tim Keller examines the way Jesus presents the parable to speak both to those who run from God and to those who try to earn his love by being good. It reveals the heart of the gospel—a message of hope for both the rebellious younger brother and the judgmental older brother, and an invitation for all to experience God’s grace.
