Who Is This Jesus?
Mark 4:35-41
Jesus deeply, profoundly, eternally cares for his people and is taking us securely to his kingdom, even though the journey may at times tempt us to think differently.
1. God displays his severe mercy in the storm.
The almighty and ever-present power of God by which he upholds, as it were by his own hand, heaven and earth together with all creatures, and rules in such a way that leaves and grass, rain and drought, fruitful and unfruitful years, food and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, and everything else, come to us not by chance but by his fatherly hand. (Acts 17:24-25; Heb 1:3; Acts 14:15-17; John 9:3; Pro 22:2: Eph 1:11)
Psalm 65:6-7; 89:8-9; 107:23-30; 147:16-18
2. The Disciples receive the benefit of having sin exposed.
2a. They assumed that Jesus did not care for them. 1 Peter 5:6-11
2b. They assumed Jesus was one of them.
2c. They assumed that there were competing powers when it came to the kingdom.
3. Jesus displays his divinity.
3a. He has divine power –
3b. He has divine patience, Ps 103:13
3c. He has a divine prerogative (right, power, privilege)--
4. Life’s most important question. Who is this man? As our sovereign King, we must submit to him.
4a. The first step in such submission is to repent and believe the Gospel.
4b. A second step of submission is to trust Christ more fully. (Keep believing the Gospel)
4c. A third step of submission is to realize that storms are for our instruction.
4d. A fourth step is to submit to Christ’s divine prerogative in our lives.
4d. Fifth, submission to Christ is to deal with others as Christ is dealing with us.
Bible Study Outline
Remember the Sabbath
The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. It is a Christian institution rooted in the creation Sabbath for regular observance. It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should be employed in exercises of worship and spiritual devotion, both public and private, and by refraining from worldly amusements, and resting from secular employments, work of necessity and mercy only being exceptions.
I. The Continuing Obligation of the Sabbath principle.
A. Instituted at creation. Gen. 2:2-3.
B. Practiced before the giving of the Mosaic Law. Ex. 16:4-6, Ex. 16:21-30.
C. Emphasized as moral law in the Ten Commandments. Ex. 20:8-11
D. Christ emphasized proper keeping of the Sabbath. Matt. 12:1-13
E. Commemorates God resting from his creative works as well as Christ resting from his redemptive works after being resurrected from the dead. Heb. 4:9-11.
