It is a known fact that a compass points to magnetic north. But from a spiritual perspective, I would submit that the soul’s “spiritual compass” is made to point to True North, that is, Jesus Christ.
If you were wandering around in the wilderness, what would be one of the most important instruments you could have with you to help you stay oriented? A simple compass is amazing because when you pick it up, it always points to magnetic north. The Gospel of Mark is like a compass. You pick it up and it always points to True North–Jesus Christ. And according to Mark, the True North that the whole world depends on to be reconciled back to God is Jesus Christ. The very first verse of Mark says what his whole letter is all about: “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” (Mark 1:1). In a sense Mark is saying, “I’m giving you a compass, this is an accurate picture of the man Jesus Christ, and throughout all of history when people read these accounts, it will always point you to True North, it will point you squarely toward the One Man who Matters Most.
As I read the Gospel of Mark I am truly in awe of the personality qualities of Jesus that he paints in Chapters 1-8. People were literally drawn to Jesus like a magnet is drawn to metal.
