The Gospels of The New Oxford Annotated Bible aim to tell of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors build the narratives around the Father-Son relationship of God and Jesus because of how much of an impact God’s sacrifice has on Jesus’ ministry. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16).

with death was the end of a person’s life, they could not get their arms around the event of rising from the dead and what did it mean when Jesus said, “One had to die to live.” It did not make much sense.

told”. The whole life of Jesus was his adventure; his life was for the life of others. Through his existence as a man the hero 's journey of Jesus Christ depicts the most self-sacrificing adventure know to literature by his humbleness, love, and resurrection.

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration.
