Bible Question: I am taking a bible discussion with teens on Mark 3 this week, do you have suggestions for discussion, questions, etc |
Bible Answer: Well, you have three events taking place here, all linked together. It begins with the healing on the sabbath, and then with the questioning of jesus's authority, and finally his family arriving. If speaking to Teens, I would focus on the topic of self-worth. Jesus did what he did cause he was the son of God. He didn't need to prove anything, yet he spoke up when he felt it would be beneficial. He let his actions speak for him, and his words reflected that. As a teen, there is a lot of peer pressure to fit in, be popular, and to try and be what you aren't in order to be accepted by your peers. Jesus shows here that there is no need to compromise, and that the views of your peers mean little, but that you should more concerned about how God views you. Jesus loves you, Jesusman |
