Unit 23 Session 2
HEALING AND CALLING
Mark 3:7-19
Key Concept:When Jesus calls, His disciples obey to continue His mission.
Have you ever been in a huge crowd, feeling pressed in by people on every side? That's what Jesus experienced at many points in His public ministry. Everyone wanted in on the miracles, the healing, the blessing. Jesus felt compassion for the broken people seeking help. Yet Jesus had also come for something much bigger. In Mark 3, Jesus had begun His mission of salvation for all nations. To address the present problem of huge crowds and to look to the future after His resurrection, Jesus appointed twelve disciples and began preparing the for a lifetime of ministry.
As you examine Mark 3:7-19:
✞ Reflect upon the fact that crowds came to see Jesus for healing, and Jesus showed
compassion to them.
✞ Recognize that Jesus chose and equipped disciples to be with Him, to preach, and
to reveal His power.
