• Mark 8 Applications For Today
• 1. Jesus did not use a social gospel approach
  to evangelism by feeding the people first to get
  them interested in the preaching. Jesus taught
  the people first and then fed them (81-3).
• 2. Jesus cares. He feels compassion for the needs
  of mankind (82).
• 3. Eating should be orderly, with thankfulness
  and without waste (86-9).
• 4. A persons evil character and teaching can
  slowly influence a good person for the worse
  like leaven working in a lump of dough (815).
• 5. Let us not be slow to understand what Jesus is
  telling us (817-21).
• 6. Do what Jesus says even if it doesnt make
  sense to us (826,30).
• 7. Do not stand in Jesus way. Do what God wants,
  not what you want (832-33).
• 8. True disciples of Jesus will put Jesus first
  and be unashamed of Jesus (834-38).

• Mark 9 Applications For Today
• 1. The kingdom of God has already been
  established with power (91). There will be no
  future millennial kingdom on the earth as taught
  by premillennialists.
• 2. We must listen to Jesus and Jesus only
  (97-8).
• 3. For those with a great faith, all things are
  possible to him that believes (923). (Remember,
  all things means all things within the plan
  and purpose of God for mankind.)
• 4. Greatness comes to those who are servants and
  humble (935-36).
• 5. Jesus is not promoting denominationalism in
  Mark 938-39 as some teach today. Jesus is
  teaching that one with authority from Jesus can
  act even though he is not acting within a certain
  group that also has the same authority.
• 6. Make whatever sacrifice necessary to eliminate
  whatever will cause you to stumble and go to hell
  (943-48).
• 7. Christians need to be seasoned with salt
  flavoring, preserving, and purifying the world
  around them (950).
• 8. Instead of disputing among brethren (934),
  let there be peace among brethren (950).

  great possessions on earth (1021-22).

  will keep us out of heaven (1024).

• Mark 12 Applications For Today
• 1. When you reject the blessings of Jesus, he
  will turn and give those blessing to others who
  want them (129). You can reject Jesus, but he
  will still be the head of the church (1210-11).
• 2. We must obey mans law and we must obey Gods
  law (1217). However, when mans law is in
  conflict with Gods law, we must follow Gods law
  over mans law (Acts 529).
• 3. We make great religious errors when we are
  ignorant of the scriptures and the power of God
  (1224,27).
• 4. Our soul lives on after our body dies (1227).
  All the dead will be raised in the judgment day
  (1225-26). If you die before the Lord comes,
  will you be raised to the resurrection of life or
  to the resurrection of judgment (Jn. 528-29)?
• 5. Jesus was not teaching that some of Gods
  commandments can be ignored. He was teaching that
  all of our important responsibilities in life
  revolve around two great principles (1) loving
  God with all of our being, and (2) loving our
  neighbor as we would want to be loved (1229-33).
• 6. Jesus is not just a man, he is Lord God
  (1236-37).
• 7. Proud people refuse to hear Jesus, but humble
  people will gladly listen to him (1237).
• 8. Our religious service to the Lord should be
  genuine and not for show. It should bring
  attention to God, not to self (1238-40).
• 9. God looks at the amount of sacrifice in the
  giving, not the amount itself (1241-44)?

Mary and Judas Compared and Contrasted Mark
143-11
Mary Judas
Had a loving heart Had a loveless heart
Gave generously Bartered greedily
Praised by Jesus for her actions Plotted against Jesus
Attributed worth to Jesus Doubted and despaired
Pursued heavenly values Sought earthly solutions
Remembered for her selfishness Remembered as a traitor
76
The Trials of Jesus

2. Pilate Mark 151-5 Praetorium Falsely accused, accused of being a King
3. Herod Luke 238-12 Herods Palace Questioned, accused, mocked
4. Pilate Mark 156-20 Praetorium Pacified the Jews, scourged, struck, mocked
Some Illegalities in the Trials of Jesus 1. Trial
at night 2. Abused while on trial 3. False

77

• Mark 14 Applications For Today
• 1. Jesus is our Passover (141-2 1 Cor. 57).
• 2. Those who make great sacrifices for the Lord
  (143,5) and do what they can for the Lord (148)
  will be remembered and rewarded (149).
• 3. The love of money is a root of all kinds of
  evil. Dont make bargains with the world which
  conveniently serve your own selfish desires
  (1410-11).
• 4. When it comes to those in the church who
  trouble the Lord, we would do well to ask, Is it
  I? (1419)?
• 5. Without a memorial we tend to forget and not
  appreciate the sacrifice that was made for us. We
  must always remember the body and blood sacrifice
  of Jesus (1422-25)?
• 6. Before making a promise ask yourself, Should
  I keep this? Can I keep this? Will I keep this?
  (1431).
• 7. Jesus prayed the prayer of submissive
  obedience while the disciples were to pray the
  prayer of vigilance (1435-39). Both of these
  prayers are needed in our life today.
• 8. Watching and praying will keep us from falling
  into temptation (1438).
• 9. Denying Jesus can come by taking slow gradual
  steps away from him (1437-38, 54, 66ff). If we
  deny the Lord today, he will deny us in the last
  day (1466-71).
• 10. We do not defend Jesus and his honor by
  fighting a literal battle (1447).
• 11. Dont make Jesus say something he didnt say
  (1457-58).
• 12. Thinking about the words of Jesus in the
  Bible can cause one to have regret (1472).
