Study 2 From The Book of Mark is: Mark 1:16-34
1.
In what different ways does
Jesus here exercise His authority? What kind of questions did such actions make
people ask? On what did they repeatedly focus attention?
2.
How were these Galilean
fishermen to become personal soul-winners? What were the conditions and the cost
of the realization of such a surprising suggestion? Is there any reason why a
similar change could not happen in my life?
Notes
1.
Verse 22. The scribes quoted the
great authorities. Jesus spoke as if He Himself were the supreme
authority. Cf. ‘But, I say to you’ (Mt.
5:21, 2233, 34).
2.
Verses 25-27. Jesus did not
invoke God’s name like Jewish exorcists. He spoke as if the decisive authority
was His own; and it ‘worked’. The unclean spirits obeyed Him.
