Mark: The Life-Giving Shepherd - Mark 6 - Matt Aroney - CiG - Audio

There is a contrast in this chapter between king Herod, who kills John the Baptist and Jesus who sees the people harassed and helpless without a shepherd. Jesus feeds the five thousand and walks on water. The remarkable nature of Jesus' miracles begin to ask deeper questions concerning his identity. In contrast to Herod, he is the king who gives life rather than takes it for political gain.
