Lesson 8: Teaching Disciples Part II || SUMtv Sabbath School (Quarter 3)

.
From the beginning of Mark, the reader knows who Jesus is—the Messiah, the Son of God (Mark 1:1). However, people in the story struggle with understanding just who He is and what He is all about—except for those with demons. They know exactly who He is! The demons recognize Him and wither before His mighty words.
But Jesus rather consistently commands that they keep this information quiet. Why this command for secrecy? Bible students for centuries have mulled over this question. It even has a name in scholarship—the Messianic Secret. Why would Jesus want to keep quiet about who He is?
What will become clear in this journey through the Gospel of Mark is that not only is there secrecy in this book—there is also amazing revelation. It can rightly be called the Revelation/Secrecy Motif, and it runs through the Gospel of Mark. Although at the end of the book, all the secrecy is surprisingly replaced with a powerful revelation of Jesus.
It is a most remarkable story, told in a terse, fast-moving style with little commentary from the Gospel writer himself. He simply tells the story, and then lets the words, the deeds, the actions speak for themselves regarding the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth.🌏

Well, so much for the word "discussion", lol It was a great study, as always with 3 great persons to facilitate or comment.
So many wonderful lessons to glean from this Gospel. Thank God for it, and for a willing spirit & faith to receive what God, the Holy Spirit want to teach us. Help us, LORD, to be truly converted.. send the rain from heaven so the harvest can be fully ripe and Jesus can come to claim His own. So many yet who need to hear & respond/choose. God help us be faithful servants, to do our part. Thank you, gentlemen & supporting staff. Amen

If we would keep in mind that The objective of the family is the same as that of the Church. To prepare souls for Heaven--Father, Mother, and children. So it is important and necessary to follow the teachings of Scripture on every point. Self-surrender, self-denial! Self-sacrifice. The first is conversion. The second is giving up everything that is not for our good because the Lord said so in Sacred Scripture. Self-sacrifice, doing service to other; making sacrifices for the good of others. Giving up even what is good for us to benefit others, for example, going to the mission field. Witnessing in the community; doing good things for others.
