The two advents of Jesus: The first Sunday of Advent does not focus upon the coming of Jesus at Christmas time, but on the final coming of Jesus at the end of all time.

I am a King: The final Sunday of Year B is dedicated to Jesus' universal kingship. As we have seen throughout our reflections on the Gospel of Mark, Jesus lays no claim to be a king who exercises worldly power. On trial for his life in the Gospel of John, he tells Pontius Pilate that he has come with a royal message. God loves us without condition. Those who belong to his kingdom are drawn into that love.

My words will not pass away: We hear words from the Jesus of the Gospel of Mark for the last time in Year B. Writing to Christians who thought that the end was near, he insists that before that happens, the Gospel must be preached to the ends of the earth. But the end will come. We must be able to read the signs of the times, not knowing when it will take place, but certain that it will take place.

The first of all the commandments: On arrival in Jerusalem, Jesus meets opposition. These passages are not in the Lectionary, but they lead to Jesus' encounter with a Scribe. Acting as a lawyer, he seeks the one commandment that covers all the commandments. Jesus' response comes from Israel's tradition, but it is a new commandment as the love of God and love of neighbour are combined. Finally, a Jewish leader accepts Jesus' teaching, and is not far from the Kingdom.

Not to be served, but to serve: James and John, and the other ten members of "the Twelve" continue to misunderstand Jesus. They seek only places of honour and authority. Jesus calls them to the baptism of martydom, and to lowly service. He instructs them not only in word, but by his example: the Son of Man who came to serve, and to give his life.

From the beginning of creation: Tested by the Pharisees on his interpretation of divorce, approved by Jewish Law under certain conditions, Jesus abandons Law, and describes how God planned the relationship between a woman and a man "from the beginning" before sin had entered the world.

To be for or against Jesus: The disciples continue to misunderstand their call to follow Jesus, as they tried to stop someone who was not following them. Jesus against corrects them, insisting on the priority of doing good in the name of Jesus, and on the fundamental importance of entering the Kingdom. Better to be maimed than lose the Kingdom!

Serving and receiving: Continuing his journey to Jerusalem, Jesus announces his forthcoming death and resurrection a second time.

Who do you say that I am?: At the centre of Mark's Gospel, and after his recognition by the Gentiles, Jesus asks his disciples who they think he is. Peter's response, "You are the Christ" is only partially correct. Jesus is also the suffering, crucified, and risen Son of Man. Anyone who wishes to be his disciple must follow him to the cross, and through the cross into life.

A missionary journey into Gentile lands: Jesus sets out on a mission to Gentile lands. After healing the daughter of a Gentile woman, he journeys north and then east, always walking among Gentiles. On the Gentile side of the Lake of Galilee he heals a Gentile deaf-mute, and the Gentiles acclaim that he does all things well, and see him as the Messiah. Only on mission, among the Gentiles, is Jesus recognised and acknowledged.

Observing human traditions: After four Sundays reflecting upon John 6, the Lectionary returns to the Gospel of Mark, but maintains its focus upon "eating." The leaders of Israel try to accuse Jesus and his disciples of unfaithfulness to their religious traditions. Jesus instructs them - and us - that we must live by the commandments of God, and not closed religious traditions. What lies deep within us makes us clean or unclean.

20th Sunday of Ordinary Time: After introducing the theme of eating the flesh of the Son of Man and drinking his blood, Jesus no longer tells the crowd to belief in him if they wish to have eternal life. Their belief must be shown as they accept that the broken body and the split blood of Jesus can be encountered at the Table of the Eucharist

The origins of the true bread from heaven: The crowd cannot understand how someone whose family they know can give the bread from heaven. For them, the Law was the new manna from heaven, but Jesus offers a life-giving bread because he comes from the Father, and is thus able to make the Father known from his intimacy with him. He begins, for the first time, to speak of "eating" the flesh of Jesus.
