Getting to Know Jesus in the Gospel of Mark
Study Eight: Mark 1:35-39
35 And rising very early in the morning, while it was still
dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. 36 And
Simon and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and they found him and
said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go
on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came
out.” 39 And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and
casting out demons. (Mark 1)
1. The night
before this we read, “That evening at
sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons” (Mark
1:32). This means that the previous evening Jesus spent considerable time ministering
to the people who came to him. What does this next picture tell us about the
significance of Jesus’ relationship to his Father?
2. Why was everyone
looking for Jesus the next morning (from previous study)?
3. What did Jesus decide
to do instead?
4. What was
directing Jesus so that he knew what he should do that day?
5. What do we already
know that Jesus was preaching about when he went from town to town? (1:14-15 ~ Now after John was arrested, Jesus
came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the
gospel.”)
6. How does Jesus continue
to “come” to people in every age with the good news of the gospel?
7. Why is the
message, “The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel” (1:15), still
necessary for every town of our world to hear?
