Unit 22  Session 4

THE LEPER PROCLAIMED

Mark 1:35-45

 

Key Concept:

Jesus' commitment to His mission originated in His compassion for others.

Mark 1 quickly tells us a lot about Jesus' early ministry. Although some of the accounts are not as detailed, Mark's Gospel accurately aligns with the other Gospel accounts. Up to this point in Mark 1, Jesus had been teaching with authority, casting out demons, and miraculously healing the sick, which showed His authority over all things physical and spiritual. After this, Jesus continued His ministry by traveling throughout Galilee, preaching and healing as He went.

As you examine Mark 1:35-45:

 

✞   Note that Jesus' purpose was to preach the Good News.

✞   Recognize that Jesus' compassion on the leper led the man to spread the Good News of Jesus.
