Action in Mark
Action in Mark
Begins with ministry of John
Then Jesus is shown preaching in Galilee
Jesus calls the first four apostles long after they had begun following Him -
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).

Opposition to Jesus

Diverse groups oppose Jesus
If is different, it must be bad?
If it is different, it must be good?
If it is different, it must be different; not forced to fit into what already is
Multitudes and Isolation
Multitudes and Isolation
Jesus was angry, not at personal hurt, but at refusal to help others
Pharisees, Jesus and His disciples, and His family all seek isolation, yet His fame brings multitudes together
Eternal sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
To deny evident truth is soul-condemning
Our eternal family are those with whom we share an inheritance from God
