Ransom for many (Mark 10)

Mark 10 : 1 - 12

Our Lord deals with the issue of divorce.


Mark 10 : 13 - 16

Our Lord blesses children and is angry with his disciples for not allowing them to come to Him.
He says we are to be like children in our faith.
Trust the Father and depend on Him completely like a child.

Mark 10 : 17 - 22

The rich man could not give up his riches and trust the Father to provide and sustain him financially.
We all must look in our hearts what box cant we tick for the Father in our dependence on Him.
What is it that we are trusting our own strength for or someone else to provide for us?
Our Father wants our absolute dependence on Him.


Mark 10 : 23 - 31

With the Father all things are possible.
This statement our Lord makes concerning a rich man but this is true for no sin or idol is greater than
the Father and when we have rendered our lives to Him it does not matter what was a hindrance our Father
is able to overcome for us and we can enter His Kingdom.

Mark 10 : 32 - 34

Our Lord predicts His death.

Mark 10 : 35 - 45

42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them,
“You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them,
and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Our Lord came to serve us and to be ransom (sacrifice for us).
As Christ-Followers we have no better or other task than to serve Him, and sacrifice for Him and His Kingdom.

Mark 10 : 46 - 52

Our Lord heals a blind man.
