SERMON NOTES
“Jesus is more than you think He is”
Two main themes in Mark’s book:
- _________________________
- _________________________
Feeding the 5,000 (6:30-44)
Jesus demonstrates that He is:
- The Shepherd (Ps 23)
- True Manna from heaven (the Bread of Life)
- The true prophet, in the like of Elijah and Elisha
Jesus foreshadows:
- The Last Supper
- The Messianic banquet
Walking on Water (6:45-56)
Jesus demonstrates that He is:
- God, who walks on the waves of the sea (Job 9:8)
- God, who ‘passes by’, showing His care and concern (Exodus 33:19-23; 1 Kings 19:9-14)
- God, the ‘I AM’ (Mark 6:50, Ex 3:14)
Jesus waits most of the night before intervening in the disciples struggle
Jesus had compassion on the disciples in their struggle
Questions for you and me: Why is it so important that we know who Jesus is? In what way is your picture of Jesus too small? How has Jesus met you in a struggle in the past and surprised you with how much He was up to that you were initially unaware of?
