Mark- Club Jesus Read Mark 9:1-13, 30-41

Let’s look at the beginning of this chapter before we move on to the passage from Sunday morning. Before we get to this passage about being the last, the disciples just witnessed the transfiguration and Jesus healing a boy who is sick with a evil spirit. Let’s take a look at the Transfiguration and then tie it into the passage from this past weekend.

1. This chapter starts with Jesus saying, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” How does this set up the rest of the chapter? Why does Mark start with this statement as an introduction to the transfiguration, the healing of the boy, and the prophesy about his death and being the last?

2. In verse 10 they were discussing what “risen from the dead” could mean. It seems obvious to us now, maybe too obvious. What do you imaging that discussion being about?

3. In verse 12, who is the Elijah Jesus is referring to?

4. In verse 31 Jesus says, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.” But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.” Why would they be afraid to ask Jesus what he meant?

5. Doing something “In the name of” is a way of saying in association with. Jesus did everything in association with the Spirit of God. Imagine what your life would look like if everything you did was “In the name of Jesus.” Imagine if every action was in association with him. What would today be like?
