Lesson 2 Review: A Day in the Ministry of Jesus

Introduction

Memory Text: “Then Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men’ ” (Mark 1:17, NKJV)

 The Bible presented Jesus as the Priest, Prophet and as the Preacher of the Gospel too, just as His disciples did but the greater difference is, He's from above and He's above all things.

Why was the calling of the Disciples so important?

Jesus knew and understood the purpose of His coming to this sinful world to redeem man so He made His Disciples to be on the alerting side so as to reach out to everyone one on Earth.

What makes it possible for the Disciples to follow Jesus?

All the evidence of good works was shown in Him and the power of His anointing, Jesus didn't give them money or silver or gold neither did he promise them but he assured them life eternal when the work is done.

What has been the unforgettable experience in our worship?

Worship has been a heartfelt experience to every believer who open up their hearts to God, our miracles may not be at Capernaum or at the synagogue but in every worship, God prepares to touch every soul leaving no single one the same.

How does the Sabbath worship bring healing to our homes?

In view of Peter's mother's in-law example, every day we spent with God together can never be in vain. God wants us to have that experience of spiritual growth so that through our testimony others may know the true God.

Why should prayers be a key point in ministry for ministers to learn?

Not just a prayer of disturbances or noise-making is mentioned here, it is a prayer that involves unveiling and pouring out our hearts to God, seeking for help and powers from above. It's about making it most important in our lives.

What lessons can we obtain here about Jesus' healing of a leper?

Not everyone loves boasting, it is not even good to brag, there's always a danger to those involved in boasting or bragging. We need to be like Jesus when meeting the needs of others, we don't need to publicize it but give thanks to God alone.

How is Jesus' ministry different from what we have today?

While some might serve God with carnal intention, seeking after their self-glorification which may results in danger and vanity, Jesus had never done anything outside the plan of the Father but doing everything according to the will of God, so is the plan of God toward us all.

In conclusion,

Jesus' ministry was the best and the simplest, he gave His best just to fulfill the requirements of promises. If we must be like God or see God then we must be humble for people to come and be blessed by God, if we don't bring people to God or point them to the cross then our task remains incomplete. May Jesus help us to be able to bring people to Him in Jesus' name.
