Episode 2125 - Lesson 8 - Sabbath August 17 - Teaching Disciples Part 2
Read for This Week’s Study: Mark 10; Gen. 1:27; Gen.
2:24; Gal. 4:1, 2; Rom. 6:1–11; Isa. 11:1–16.
Memory Text: “ ‘For even the Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many’ ” (Mark 10:45,
NKJV).
This week covers Mark 10, completing the special section in
which Jesus teaches His disciples in preparation for the Cross.
About half of the chapter deals with the disciples themselves,
and the rest with issues important to discipleship but told through
the lens of others who interact with Jesus. Pharisees come and argue
with Him over the subject of divorce. Parents bring their children for
Jesus to bless. A rich man asks about eternal life, and a blind man
asks for sight.
This chapter of Mark carries important teachings about what it
means to follow Jesus, particularly as it relates to living in the here
and now: marriage, children, how to relate to riches, and the reward
and cost of following Him. Topping it off is the healing of a second
blind man (Mark 10:46–52; compare with Mark 8:22–26), which
provides the closing bookend for the section (Mark 8:22–10:52)
and a beautiful illustration of what following Jesus both costs and
leads to.
Together, these lessons prepare the follower of Jesus—whether the
disciples 2,000 years ago or disciples in the twenty-first century—for
the challenges that come with discipleship.
