The Passage: Mark 10.34-45

The One Thing: Will the real Jesus please stand up?



Discussion Questions

Know

K1 What did God say to you through the service / message today



Grow

G1 What do you make of James and John’s request in verse 35? What do you think motivated them to ask this of Jesus?

G2 Think of Jesus’ words: you will drink the cup (of suffering according to Mk 14:32 ) and be baptized (into familial conflict according to Lk 12:52-53). Why do you think Jesus told them this would happen? Would you rather know or not know if bad things were coming your way?

G3 What can you do to compare your Jesus with the Biblical Jesus? How can you know if “your Jesus” resembles the Jesus of the Bible or not? What will you do about it?

G4 Jesus asked James and John (v36) the same question he asked Bartimaeus (v51). Why did he give Bartimaeus what he asked but not James and John? What was different about the two requests?

G5 What about those who are ignorant of Jesus? They’re not actively selfish (like James and John), they’re just young in the faith, or naïve. Will Jesus answer their misguided prayers if they are sincere?
