Getting to Know Jesus in the Gospel of Mark
Study Five: Mark 1:16-20
16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and
Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were
fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become
fishers of men.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19
And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his
brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called
them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants
and followed him. (Mark 1)
1. What change was
Jesus going to bring to the lives of these fishermen?
2. What was the
fishermen’s part in experiencing this change?
3. What was Jesus’
part in this transformation?
4. What was Jesus
telling the men about his relationship to their careers and families?
5. What would it
look like in our day if Jesus had the same relationship to your career
(schooling, activities, etc) and family?
6. What have you
learned about Jesus in Mark’s gospel account (Mark 1:1-15) that would indicate
why Jesus has the right to make such changes to our lives?
7. How are you
relating to Jesus in this aspect of who he is?
