Quick answer

Jesus openly affirms that he is the Christ and foretells his coming in glory and authority. He declares his divine identity and exaltation before his judges.

Overview

With 'I am' Jesus plainly claims to be the Messiah and Son of God, then combines Psalm 110 and Daniel 7 to announce his enthronement and return in glory. Those who judge him will one day see him exalted at God's right hand. This bold confession seals his condemnation yet proclaims the truth of who he is.

Christ at the center

Mark drives urgently to the cross, showing Jesus the Son of God as the suffering Servant who 'came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.'
