Seeing Jesus in the Gospel of Mark

DAY 12 OF 30

DEATH AND LIFE

Look Closely:

- Reports about Jesus have climbed all the way to the top, and everyone has an opinion on who He is. What does King Herod believe? Why might Herod be troubled that John the Baptist was back from the dead?

- Herod might be afraid of Jesus, but the average person doesn’t seem to be. Why did the large groups pursue Jesus? What would you be thinking if you were in these crowds?

- What do you observe Jesus doing with the disciples (6:31-32), and by himself (6:46-47)?

- Imagine the scene on the Sea of Galilee that night. Darkness. Wind. Waves. Rocking boat. How did the disciples feel? Why is it surprising that their hearts were hardened? Do you think this is a failure of faith for the disciples?

About this Plan

Seeing Jesus in the Gospel of Mark

In a world of hostility, corruption, and confusion, a regular guy named Mark wrote his gospel to boldly proclaim that Jesus is THE good news. Mark vividly tells his story with urgency and purpose, giving all of us a front-row seat to the teachings, miracles, discipleship, and life of Jesus. This plan puts you in the story so that you can observe, ask questions, and learn alongside the disciples.
