Mark 3 EXPRESSIONS

  Jesus remained calm when he was angrey

Mark 3 APPLYING

I defiantly see that he could handle his temper the right way and that's pretty inspirational. also i can tell that he struggled with things, a lot of people turned against him. sometimes when i feel kind of like im on one side and everybody else is on the other.i always thought there wasn't a way that Jesus could really understand that, but i think this proves otherwise.

Mark 3 FEELING

i felt like like this was kind of a depressing passage. it seemed like everybody was against God

Mark 3 EVALUATING

the word i'm thinking of, is....calm. throughout this entire chapter you see these annoying stupid things that people do to Jesus, and he does get mad. but he handles it the right way. he doesn't lash out on everyone he just calmly deals with it. even when his own family was against him.

Mark 3 UNDERSTANDING

To my understanding, (ha) i think that the pharisees are just out to get him; because they feel threatened. Jesus is attracting a lot of crowds and people have began to follow him. If i was in power and some guy came out of no were and started swerving people to follow them, i would be pretty mad to. Just the fact that somebody else is taking power away from you, it would upset any normal person. and if it happened for so long and you were extremely power hungry, kind of like Hitler; you might eventually feel like you need to rise above that certain person. So that's what i think the Pharisees thought of Jesus like he was stealing their spot light and they wanted it back. They were all just a bunch of Hitlers.

Mark 3 OBSERVATIONS

1.       Saying “another time” implies that it wasn’t the first time this had happened, which of course is true, since he was going to the synagogue.

2.       The man with a shriveled hand was there.

(a.)  He could have been there because it could have been a plot to set up Jesus, to show everyone how “bad” he was. You know because healing people is such a crime.

(b.)  He was poor, assuming he couldn’t work very well, and he needed to collect money

(c.)  He was giving money

(d.)  He could of heard that Jesus was going and wanted to meet up with everyone else

3.      It doesn’t say if he was inside or outside of the synagogue.

4.      It says that “some of them” this could mean that not everyone there was there to accuse Jesus.

5.      They literally just wanted reasons to accuse him

6.      What good would it do to accuse Jesus? I think it’s possible that the leaders felt threatened by Jesus

7.      Back in the day it was wrong to work on the Sabbath, so its almost like a setup

8.      Jesus always commands the person who he is healing.

9.       “stand up in front of everyone” was the command. It shows he wasn’t scared and that he was making it obvious. Why do something and not go out with a big bang?

10.  When Jesus asked the people a question in verse 4 none of them responded. They were completely silent, probably because they knew that they were wrong.

11.   Jesus got mad

12.  Even though he was mad, he still healed the guy

13.   So the Pharisees go out to plot an assassination for Jesus.

14.  Jesus goes to the lake with only his disciples

15.   Crowds followed him everywhere

16.  He told the people who he healed not to tell others who he was.

17.   He gives his newly 12 the power to  drive out demons. That’s obviously not a normal gift to give someone

18.   Crowds followed him so closely to the point were Him and His disciples couldn’t eat. (Talk about OCD.)

19.   His family turned against him except for his mom

20.  Since the leaders of this time happen to be so brilliant, they accuse him of being a demon.

21.  Jesus then speaks to them in parables. Everything that these people don’t seem to affect Him the way they want him to. Through all of it he remains persistent

22.   Jesus tells them all that they can be forgiven of there sins all except for one

23.  Then he says Here are my mother and my brothers! ³⁵ Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

Feeling mark 2

i feel like this chapter was espically good on how good Jesus' temper is. he didnt blow up in everybodys face wehen theing sgot annoying , which the pharisees probally got extremely annoying

Evaluating Mark 2

Jesus is all powerful and mericiful

Mark 2: Understanding

I understand that Jesus is all powerful and knows what He is doing. He is all powerful because He has done lots of miracles but the one specifically talked about in this chapter is the paralyzed man after being dropped down from the ceiling. Jesus told the man " Take up your mat and walk." the paralytic man miraculously gets up and walked in front of everybody. Obviously everyone saw, they were all amazed and the Pharisees got on to him about it. He also eats with sinners which the Pharisees get onto him for because they do not understand the wisdom of his ways. And when he goes to the grain field on the sabbath, Jesus is just really awesome!

12. people follow
13. He teaches them
14.  He goes to the tax collector (levi) and tells him to follow Him
15. Jesus goes to his house and eats with tax collectors and sinners
16.  the scribes are all like whoa man what just happened why does he eat with sinners
17.  He answers them saying that he doesnt call the righteous to him but those who need him
18. John and pharisees are fasting
19.  people question fasting
20. on the Sabbath they go through the grain field
21.  the disciples pluck heads of grain
22. thh pharisees see this "unlawful" act
23. they question it right away of course
24. Jesus says the Sabbath was meant for men not Him
25.  everytime Jesus does something the pharisees are always on him
26. Jesus knows what he's doing cuz he alwasy has this complicated answer
27. He also has good judgement

Applying

i am going to try and be more patient with people even when they upset me. ill try to be more like christ and keep my cool.

Feeling

I feel like Jesus undertook a lot of hard times. yet he still maintained to keep calm and cool. even with direct disobedience (lame man) he still kept his cool. It shows how much he loves us and gives me courage to know that i can keep my cool to

Evaluating

Jesus did a lot of miracles, we know this is true because its written in his word and we believe it.

Undersatanding

As you can tell there was a lot of chaos going around, since in the writing it jumps around quite a bit. Jesus is baptized by john, this actually means a lot because he doesn't just tell us to get baptized, he also does it himself. Jesus is send into the wilderness for forty days and tested my the holy spirit but you can tell God cared about him because he send angles with him. meaning not only does God care about his son but he also cares about us.
