Read Mark 2:1-8:

Questions

1. Discuss what it would be like to be in the shoes of various people in the passage. For example one of the crowd, one of the friends or the owner of the house. Think of where they are, what they would be thinking, and the impact Jesus would have had on them after these encounters. Who can you relate to most in the passage?
2. Jesus commends the courageous faith of the friends, they know their paralyzed friend has a desperate need ...and that Jesus was the one who could meet it.
a) Who in your friendship circle or family do you wish knew Jesus? What are the barriers to bringing that person to Him?
b) Jesus saw two great needs and answered both. What needs do you think your friend will find answered in Jesus?
3. Do you recognise the title Son of Man? Why does Jesus use this title of himself?
4. Following Jesus would have been a huge life style change for Levi. What does it look like to follow Jesus in your life? Discuss either changes in your life when you first became a Christian or ways that you could or do live differently now because you follow Jesus
5. How do you think the pharisees reacted to Jesus’s statement in v17 And what does it make you think?
