Mk 10  —  BLIND, BLINDER, AND BLINDEST "The Son of Man has not come to be served but to serve

— to give His life in ransom for the many." —Mark 10:45 Jesus tried one more time to communicate the message of the

cross. He began by shocking His disciples with new revelations on marriage, celibacy, children, and money. Then He spoke of His passion, death, and resurrection. The disciples, blinded by ambition and jealousy, missed it again. In conclusion, Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus as a sign that one day His disciples would be healed of spiritual blindness.

Prayer: Lord, "I want to see" (10:51).Promise: "Jesus fixed His gaze on them and said, 'For man it is impossible but not for God. With God all things are possible.' " —10:27

Jesus’ Travels Mark 10:1

“ In rising up from there, he went into the territory of Judah” “Crowds traveled together with him and he was accustomed again he kept teaching them”

Marriage and Divorce Mark 10:1-9

The Pharisees wanted to Jesus to give a self-incriminating answer that would provoke opposition to Him.

According to the Laws of Moses, the Pharisees believed this Old Testament passage permitted divorce, that only a husband could initiate it, and divorce implied the right to remarry.

They disagreed on the grounds of divorce.

If Jesus took sides in this dispute He would divide his followers.

Even today people are arguing over this same issue.

Marriage is a Work of God

Mark 10:12

And in the house the Disciples asked Him about this matter and He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, committs adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another she committs adultery”

Jesus and the ChildrenMark 10:13-16

“Let the children come to me and do not hinder them; for such belongs to the kingdom of God”

“Truly ; I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it”

“Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me:

God give me the heart of a child and the awesome courage to live it out”

Mark 12:1-12 The Parable of the TenantsThe rejection of the owner’s son looks to the certification of Jesus & the reaction of the owner.

This points to the resurrection, when God vindicates Jesus’ death

become the head of the corner; This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes:”
