We often create lines of who is worthy to be welcomed by Jesus and who is not. we think surely a murderer and a fraudster cannot be saved perhaps a philanthropist. What we see here is that the tax collectors 'Levi' who were disliked for financially enslaving/impoverishing their own people are welcomed by Jesus. this is not a great look for Jesus and the Pharisees are appalled by his mercy.

In this short and apparently simple story Jesus is approached by a leper whom he heals. Jesus sends the leper to receive the certification of the priest as to his being made clean and able to re enter his community. This former leper becomes a disciple by “spreading the word” about Jesus, announcing what Jesus had done for him.

Christians believe Jesus was baptised so that he could become like one of us. This shows his great humility. He set an example for us to follow. what we can learn from this sermon is that, Jesus' baptism was also an opportunity to show his authority as God confirmed he was his Son.

in the opening of Marks Gospel account, he writes that "Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God". He then sets up the rest of the book to help readers understand Jesus as the Messianic King by showing the amazing things Jesus said and did as well as how people responded to him.

Many times people wonder why the world is in the state which it is in and they often wonder what Gods plan is for the world. Jesus will always be Gods plan for the world, it was always Jesus from the beginning to the end.
