The author has examined the Gospel of Mark in ascertaining the true disciple. Greater than the search for this disciple is an opportunity to analyze ourselves and ask the questions,"Am I a true disciple?" " Am I going to follow Jesus?" Before we can answer those questions, there are yet two preliminary questions...."What did Scripture mean?" The second "What does Scripture mean?" According to author,Wesley Wright, we must answer the first question because Scripture inspired and the second because Scripture inspires. It is important to understand what Scripture means for our life and for our community.
