Inside of the Cup e-bog

The Inside of the Cup is a daily devotional. Its purpose is to help the reader gain a greater understanding of the Gospel according to Mark and to nurture his/her faith. There was great confusion about what it meant that Jesus is the Messiah. The long-standing conception of the Messiah was that he would bring in a new age of King David. The people longed for a political emancipator and glorious ruler. Instead Jesus was a commoner. He was vulnerable. That is the great meaning of the Incarnation which even the Twelve disciples did not realize until after Jesus resurrection. What does it mean that Jesus is the Christ? What does it mean in your life that he is your Messiah? Jeb deals with questions like these, and the discussions lead to broadening and strengthening your faith.
