Mark Chapter 8

Berean Bible Student Church in Lombard, IL Streaming and Podcast Messages

Sometimes, we assume that all it takes is one touch of Jesus for everything to be as it should be. However, in Mark Eight we find an account of two touches of Jesus being required. So the question is, “What’s the bench-mark for knowing if another touch is required?” The answer is, if we see anything like, “Men as trees walking,” obviously our Lord truly desires to give us the required additional touch. There’s a lot of action going on in Mark Eight, including feelings of deja vu, the usual wisenheimers, warnings about the leaven inherent in wisenheimers, one particularly really excellent answer, one particularly really awful rebuke, one major wake-up call, topped off with a extremely concise summary of what Jesus requires of his disciples. Mark Eight was written over two thousand years ago, but its lessons are timeless. Come and share in the action.
