How Mark 16 fits the whole book
Mark's fast-moving gospel portrays Jesus in action — the powerful Son of God who serves and suffers for sinners. Chapter 16 of Mark contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
