Mark Study: Part 2

Oops, it's been longer than I wanted it to be between posts.  I've been busy (not a valid excuse).

The past week, we've had Mark Study every day.  I believe I explained what Mark Study is in my previous post.  So if this is a foreign concept to you, please reference that post :)

The week of Mark Study was amazing!  And exhausting.  And overwhelming.  And awe-inspiring.  And unable to be described in just one word obviously.  I'll try to tell you about it.

Mark Study

It's hard for me to decide what exactly to say here.  Do I talk about what I specifically learned?  Do I explain how we interpreted difficult passages?  Do I give you a timeline of what we talked about when?  None of these will give you an accurate picture of Mark Study.  Nor would the 3 combined give you an accurate picture.

I guess if I had to choose, I would pick the biggest application point that I took from Mark Study.  After looking at 8 chapters of Mark, seeing what Jesus did, said, and didn't do (we have so many misconceptions, even as Christians!), my teacher, Shannon, asked: "How are you going to respond?"  How am I going to respond after getting just a small glimpse of Jesus?

With awe.
With wonder.
With obedience.
With love.

I've known Jesus for a long time.  But sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in what I'm doing for Jesus as opposed to being with Jesus.  And that's just silly.

So this week, especially before classes start next week, I'm going to be spending a lot of time with Jesus.  Because I want to.

Love.
