Introduction
Memory Text: “When He had called the
people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires
to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me”
(Mark 8:34, NKJV).
The
primary focus of this lesson is about Jesus both as the preacher and a Teacher.
This is different from that of the Pharisees and other Religious Leaders and
we'll be considering the purpose of teaching His disciples as well.
What does the cross
represent?
After
Jesus called the people unto Himself a simple but tough warning words echoed
out about the cross that meant that being a Disciples involves risk.
why was Jesus’ pattern
of miracle different from others in this chapter?
Each
and everyone needs healing not only in our mortal body but even to our
spiritual life, the blind man required both spiritual and physical healing to
help his site clearly open.
What is the cost of
Discipleship?
Yes!
God has given us salvation through His son Jesus but He has never hidden
anything about the cost of following Him in the course of sharing the kingdom
message, He said plainly that tribulations is ahead but we should rejoice for
He has overcome it for us.
In what situation
have we cried out, Lord help my Unbelief?
Deep
down in distress and affliction when it seems all hope is gone, suddenly the
voice of hope to the hopeless reaches out to us at a point where we all
couldn't believe it but Jesus cares about heart and “help us” is a lesson to
everyone.
What lessons can we
learn about greatness?
It
was surprising to the Disciples when they Saw Jesus take a child on His arms as
an illustration about greatness. In our world today you are nothing if you are
not rich or in a certain political group but Jesus taught us that heaven is far
different from the world settings.
what do we know
about burning hell?
Most
Christians believe that there's hell fire here on earth which opposes the
biblical teaching or meaning, the aims of this fire is to bring eternal end to
every evil done on earth so as for it to never exist anymore. Once evil is
destroyed then the fire ceases since its purpose is fulfilled.
What can we learn
from the story of a Rich man?
There
was no hell fire when Jesus made this teaching but It was an illustration of
future events that will take place when He (Jesus) returns to the earth He
created, everyone who finds it difficult to be generous with the gifts God gave
to them will receive their eternal consequence.
In conclusion,
Being a Christian involves the toughest risk, however, this is not said to discourage anyone but to help us out in the cost of Discipleship. The road to heaven is not a bed of roses or bread and butter but full of thorns, sorrows and affliction but in the end those who overcome will receive a fruitful reward. May Heaven be ours indeed in Jesus’ name.
