s5e16 Jesus' Family and Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
Observations/Questions
- vs 20-21 don't seem to fit too well in context, is Mark sandwiching v22-30 in between v20-1 and v31-35?
- He is out of his mind? did they really think he was insane?
- scribes came down from Jerusalem (but Galilee is north) - why down?
- Mark loves the word, "and" in this passage
- Beelzebul - different than Satan? same? what's the meaning
- Jesus called the scribes over - why would they go if they really thought he was possessed?
- parables - how is this a parable?
- what is the significance of "kingdom" and "house" is there any?
- why strong man? who is the strong man?
- hard verse 28 - blasphemy - what is it? is v 30 an explanation?
- vs 31-35 - is he saying he doesn't care about his actual family? what does he mean?
Meaning:
- The Kingdom of God is here in Jesus and will defeat the Kingdom of Satan
- Jesus is not insane, not possessed, and has all authority.
- Will we do the will of God and believe and follow Jesus as Lord and Savior?
Application:
- Walk closer to Jesus: I don’t want to be on the wrong side. His goodness attracts me to follow and His authority compels me to follow.
- Modeling Jesus: Jesus dealt with accusations head-on and fought with logic and truth. Sometimes even your family is wrong when it comes to what God’s will is in your life.
- Praise Jesus: He is Yahweh, creator of all things and more powerful than any demon or created being. Salvation is why he came - ultimate victory over Satan - Christus Victor!
Group Questions:
