Presentation transcript:

Knowing Jesus through Mark Called and Sent

What is the primary characteristic of a Christian? Someone who has ‘accepted Jesus,’ is forgiven, and is ‘on the way to heaven’? Someone who reads the Bible and prays every day, and who is ‘separate’ from the world?

What is the primary characteristic of a Christian? Someone Who Follows Jesus

Following Jesus The primary occupation of a disciple is to follow Jesus – and fish for people for the Kingdom of God

Following Jesus The primary family of a disciple is the group who follow Jesus.

Following Jesus When people are following Jesus together they are led into action and find God’s Kingdom breaking in.

Sent by Jesus

Sent by Jesus In choosing 12 Apostles Jesus was signalling that he was starting a new kind of ‘People of God’ relationship to Jesus is what counts same faith as Abraham (not genetics) makes us ‘Abraham’s children’ (Paul)

Sent by Jesus Important symbolic and authoritative role, but... shaped by the presence of Jesus heralds of the message of Jesus agents of the Kingdom of God

Sent by Jesus Wide variety of characters... fishermen tax collector (collaborator) freedom fighter (Zealot –terrorist)

Sent by Jesus They had to do things every disciple would do, and they had to get along together

Called and Sent by Jesus Have I made following Jesus my ‘primary occupation’? Is the family of Jesus my primary family? Do I spend time with Jesus so that he can shape who I am and what I do? Am I doing the things that Jesus sent people to do?
