Divisions (run-on
sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each
Division):
1.Fishermen leave everything to follow Jesus after He
teaches at Lake Gennesaret (5:1-11)
Principle:
Following Jesus is worth leaving everything.
2.Jesus heals a man with leprosy and forgives a paralyzed
man’s sins (5:12-26)
Principle: True
healing and forgiveness is found only in Christ.
3.Jesus calls Levi and dines with tax collectors
(5:27-39)
Principle: Whoever
believes in Jesus has eternal life.
4.Jesus’ disciples pick grain and Jesus heals on the
Sabbath (6:1-11)
Principle: Jesus
is Lord of the Sabbath.
Subject Sentence (10-word
sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):
Jesus teaches, forgives sins, calls Levi and performs
Sabbath healing.
Aim (“To Cause My
Audience To…” Know, See, etc.):
TCMATK Relationship with Jesus is worth the cost because
it brings healing, forgiveness and eternal life.
Application (not
yes or no question. Meant to bring about
heart change):
1.What do you need to leave behind to follow Jesus more
completely?
2.What areas of your life need healing and/or forgiveness
that you are willing to expose to Jesus?
3.To whom are you introducing Jesus? With whom are you celebrating Him?
4.Where do you need to focus more upon Jesus during your Sabbath?
How would I describe God in this passage? He is teacher.
He is healer. He is
forgiver. He is caller. He is fellowshipper. He is Lord of the Sabbath.
Who are “the lost”? The lost are those who didn’t follow
Jesus. The truly lost are those who are
trying to find fault with Jesus because He threatened their authority.
Where do I see the Holy Spirit’s power? I see His power in the fishermen leaving
everything to follow Jesus! I see His
power in the healing touch of Jesus with the leper. I see His power in the faith of the
litter-bearers, in Jesus’ forgiveness and in the paralytics’ faith to attempt
to stand. I see His power in Jesus
choosing Levi to follow Him and in the tax collector’s impulse to throw a party
because he recognized his life would never be the same and he wanted to share
the best thing that ever happened to him with the people he knew. I see His power in knowing that goodness
toward people is more important than observing manmade rules. I see His power in Jesus’ authority and
decisiveness.
Where do I see an emphasis on prayer? I see confession from Peter on his knees
before Jesus, saying he is a sinful man.
I see a reference to Jesus often withdrawing to lonely places to
pray. I see praise from the paralytic
and the people after the healing. When Jesus is eating with Levi and his
friends, the Pharisees condemn Him for eating and drinking with sinners. Saying He should be like John the Baptist and
his disciples who regularly fast and pray.
Where do I see joy? Levi’s dinner party for Jesus. They are celebrating, eating, drinking. He is introducing Jesus to his friends and
Jesus is giving them His time and attention.
I also see joy in those who have been healed – leprosy, paralysis, a
withered hand. Lives changed because
Jesus touched them. My life has changed
because Jesus touched me.
How could this joy be my strength today? I am reminded that he who has been forgiven
much, loves much. In other words, when I’m
in touch with my sinfulness and what Jesus did to forgive me, I will be
immensely grateful! That should be cause
every day for celebration and joy!!!
Jesus chose me to be His!
Hallelujah!
What do I love about Jesus? I love that He’s a kind and truthful teacher. I love that He touches those others won’t. I love that He forgives all my sins. I love that He called me to follow Him and He
gives me the privilege of introducing others to Him. I love that He allows me to celebrate Him
with food and fun and fellowship. I love
that He does good on the Sabbath rather than holding to unkind rules and
regulations. I just love Him!!!
What references to food do I see in this
passage? Levi, the tax collector, held a great
banquet for Jesus at his house. The
Pharisees and tax collectors confront Jesus about eating and drinking with tax
collectors and sinners. The disciples
picked and ate grain on the Sabbath.
If this were the only page torn out of a
Bible I possessed, what would I treasure about it? This passage shows so many aspects of who
Jesus is and who He calls me to be: teacher, toucher of the outcast, healer, forgiver,
celebrator, fellowshipper, good doer. What
a beautiful heart He has. I will learn
from this passage until I meet Him face-to-face.
