Get in, buckle up, and hold on! - Mark 1:29-45
Welcome to episode 43 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Mark, covering chapter 1:29-45. The series is called “Get in, buckle up, and hold on!” Today, we discuss:
- Healing Simon’s mother-in-law (vv. 29-31)
- Healing the crowds at sunset (vv. 32-34)
- Jesus’ Agenda (vv. 35-39)
- Jesus and the leper (vv. 40-45)
Key takeaways:
- Jesus came to enter into our pain, not just to observe it.
- For Mark, the proper response of one who has been touched by Jesus is to serve.
- By healing on the Sabbath, Mark is showing that Jesus is challenging the people to think about the true purpose of the Sabbath.
- Only on the cross can Jesus rightly be known for who he is.
- For Mark, Jesus is here on earth to do far more than heal the sick and free the demonized; he is here to reclaim this fallen creation and its broken people.
- The disciples wanted Jesus to take advantage of his growing popularity and perform more miracles. However, Jesus’ primary mission was not to be a miracle-worker but a redeemer.
- The healings and exorcisms serve merely to confirm the presence and power of the kingdom of God.
- He boldly placed love and compassion over ritual and regulation.
Quotable:
It is sometimes easier to believe in God’s power than in His mercy.
Application:
- The proper response to being healed by Jesus (which includes forgiving our sins) is to desire to serve him.
- It is natural to want a magic Jesus. But we must always remember that God is not someone to be used. He is to be loved, worshiped, and served regardless of what comes in this world.
- True repentance is not simply a change of thought or affection, but an unqualified turning to ask if we can be made clean. Ultimately, there is no other basis on which we can approach God.
