A Savior for All Peoples, Everywhere
Mark 7:24-37
October 2, 2022
• Even if life seems stacked against you, Jesus has overcome the greatest hurdle for you
• Even if you do not think there’s room for you, Jesus lovingly invites you to the table
• Even if you think you are out of options, Jesus is more than sufficient to meet your needs
• Even if you think you are far from God, Jesus was willing to be the furthest from God for you
• Even if you have been deaf to the things of God, Jesus is willing and able to heal, restore, and renew
The mercy of Jesus is sufficient enough to reach all peoples - everywhere - through faith in His work on the cross.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• Why can we describe Jesus as the “greatest missionary who ever lived”?
• How do we see the compassion of Jesus in these stories?
• What does it say about Jesus that He was willing to pull this deaf man to the side and heal him privately?
• At the end, the people were astonished with Jesus. Why is amazement not enough? Why must we have actual faith in Jesus?
• Based on Jesus’ example, what should be our attitude towards people that we meet?
