Journey To Jerusalem

Tuesday at 9am is Ladies Bible Study... hope to see you there!

Here are the notes we will be going over this week:

Lesson Five

Mark 8:31-10:52 Journey to Jerusalem

Summary:
- In this section of Mark, we see how Jesus moves past showing his disciples who he is, and starts telling them about what is mission is on earth.
- We also read about how Jesus teaches his disciples about his future betrayal, death and resurrection.
- We learn about the Transfiguration
- Jesus teaches many lessons about a servant attitude, sin, and discipleship, marriage, divorce, childlike trust, wealth and salvation.
- Over and over the disciples seem to miss the point that Jesus tries to convey
- Jesus continues to heal people. When he healed a blind man he showed his disciples how that was like them, and Jesus would open their eyes so they could finally see and understand who Jesus is.

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?

Mark 8:34-9:1
- what must you do to follow Jesus?
- How can someone lose his life to save it?
Mark 9:2-13
- What happened in the transfiguration?
- What does it all mean, and did the disciples understand?
Mark 9:14-29
- Why couldn't the disciples heal the boy?
Jesus predicts his death in Mark 8:31-33, 9:30-32, 10:35-45.
- Did the disciples "get it?"
Mark 9:33-37 - who is the greatest? What importance does attitude play in the service of God?
Mark 9:38-42 - A man is driving out demons in Jesus' name, and the disciples told him to stop. What was Jesus' response?
Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. This is not just the words of a Sunday School song, it is right there in the Bible. Mark 10:13-16. Why did the disciples rebuke the people that brought little children to Jesus? How can a child be more suited or ready to receive the gift of eternal life than an adult?
Mark 10:17-31 - Jesus teaches a rich man how to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
