课堂起头(10分钟)
将班级分成三四个小组。给每个小组提供一本圣经索引书，或者允许他们使用能搜索圣经的电脑软件（例如www.biblegateway.com是一种在线工具）。
让每个小组搜索“马可”和“约翰·马可”。经过几分钟的研究后，让他们汇报找到的内容。
如果你无法获得索引书或在线工具，下面列出了马可在圣经中出现的一些段落。
使徒行传12:12—他的家是事工的中心，他母亲的名字是马利亚
使徒行传12:25—与巴拿巴和扫罗一起返回耶路撒冷
使徒行传15:37-39—在帕弗利亚与保罗和巴拿巴分开，导致保罗和巴拿巴产生分歧，然后与巴拿巴一起在塞浦路斯事奉
歌罗西书4:10—显然与保罗和好了，可能与保罗一起被监禁，是巴拿巴的堂兄
提摩太后书4:11—保罗请求他与路加一起来见他
腓利门书1:24—与保罗同在，并向腓利门问安
彼得前书5:13—与彼得非常亲近
太好了！我们对这个名叫马可的家伙了解得相当多了。现在，让我们开始学习他的福音。请翻到马可福音1章。
深入学习(30分钟)
马可福音1章的内容丰富多彩。在这一章起头，耶稣的事工刚刚开始，但到了章末，耶稣如此受欢迎，以至于无论去哪里都有人围观。我们没有时间详细讨论每个细节，但对这一章的概述将在以后的学习中有助于我们理解这本伟大的书的其他部分。
读 马可福音1:1-13
问题讨论：
1.这里缺少了对福音所期望的什么内容？（关于耶稣出生的故事。）
2.马可为什么跳过了这个重要事件？
事实上，马可主要关心耶稣的事工。他是一个外邦人，写给外邦人。他向他们传授耶稣的教导和神迹，并不花太多时间在其他事上。事实上，他最喜欢的词是“立刻”。我们会在马可福音的16章中看到这个词超过40次。
问题讨论（继续）：
3. 马可用哪位历史人物来介绍耶稣？（施洗约翰）
4.约翰在第7-8节中关于耶稣说了什么？（他比施洗约翰更有能力，并以圣灵施洗）
5.耶稣来自哪里？（拿撒勒，他的家乡）
6.根据第9节，耶稣做了什么事？（让约翰给他施洗）
7.耶稣事工之前还发生了一件事，是什么？（他的受试探）
耶稣受洗和受试探。马可将这两个事件包括在内，证明耶稣是完全的人，就像我们一样。我们可以与祂产生共鸣。祂在各方面都与我们相同。
读 马可福音1:14-20
问题讨论：
1.西门、安得烈、雅各和约翰是渔夫。你认为他们是什么样的人？（可能是粗人，但坚韧的人。没有受过教育的蓝领工人。）
2.第18节说他们“立刻”跟随了耶稣。这种紧迫感告诉我们什么？（我们在顺从上不应该犹豫。这个信息太重要了！）
3.耶稣说祂要使他们成为“得人渔夫”。这是什么意思？（他们将出去传福音给其他人。）
4.对于你来说，成为“得人渔夫”意味着什么？你需要放弃什么来做到这一点？
将学生分成四个小组。请每个小组阅读以下经文之一：马可福音1:21-28、29-34、35-39和40-45。让每个小组告诉班上其他同学在他们读的经文中发生了什么。可选的做法：请每个小组表演一个简短的短剧，演示他们所读的经文中的事件。
一般讨论：
• 这四个故事有什么共同之处？（它们都涉及了惊人的医治和神迹）
• 哪个神迹让你印象最深？为什么？
马可花很多时间报告耶稣在祂的事工中所行的神迹。
• 耶稣通过这些故事展示了哪些品质？（能力、怜悯、人性等）
• 如何定义怜悯？（关心他人等）
• 为什么这些故事紧跟在对门徒的呼召之后？有什么联系吗？可能是什么？（如果想跟随耶稣，必须准备好服事人，怀着怜悯等。）
如果我们真的想成为“得人渔夫”，理解耶稣的真正使命，我们必须意识到周围有各种各样的需求。而且，就像耶稣一样，我们需要“立刻”着手去满足这些需求。虽然我们可能不能赶鬼或行神迹 - 正如圣经中一些耶稣的追随者所做的那样——但我们可以帮助他人。
应用(10分钟)
一般讨论：
• 耶稣事工给你印象最深的是什么？
• 你学到了什么以前不知道的东西？
• 如果你是彼得、安得烈或其他门徒之一，迄今为止你会对耶稣有什么感觉？
• 如果你是见证了其中一个神迹的人，看到后你会有什么不同？
我们周围有各种各样的需求。我希望你已经被感动，看到耶稣希望我们去满足这些需求。
结束祷告(5-10分钟)
邀请学生重新分成小组。让每个人分享存在于他们家、学校或社区的一个需求。鼓励他们制定一个计划，以耶稣的名义来满足这个需求。然后，让每个小组为彼此祷告，祈求他们能过上充满基督怜悯的生活。当他们都完成时，为你的学生作结束祷告。

The Ministry of Jesus According to Mark Lesson 1: Serving With Compassion LESSON OBJECTIVES Goals 1. To introduce students to the Gospel of Mark and its author, Mark 2. To reveal that Jesus' ministry was one of compassion and service to others 3. To inspire students to make their lives about the same things.
Topics Caring, Compassion, Following Jesus, Healing, Serving
Scripture Memorization Mark 1:17 OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes) GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes) Scooter Ball (Game) Click here GETTING STARTED (10 minutes) Split your class up into three or four groups. Give each a concordance or let them use computer software that searches the Bible. (www.biblegateway.com is one such online tool.) Have each group search for “Mark” and “John Mark.” After a few minutes of research, have them report what they’ve found. If you don’t have access to a concordance or online tool, a list of passages where Mark is found is shown below. Acts 12:12—his house was a hub of ministry, his mom’s name was Mary Acts 12:25—returned to Jerusalem with Barnabas and Saul Acts 15:37-39—deserted Paul and Barnabas in Pamphylia, caused a disagreement between Paul and Barnabas, went on to minister with Barnabas in Cyprus Colossians 4:10—apparently patched things up with Paul, was perhaps a fellow prisoner with Paul, was Barnabas’ cousin 2 Timothy 4:11—Paul requested that he come to him, along with Luke Philemon 1:24—was with Paul and sent greetings to Philemon 1 Peter 5:13—was very close with Peter as well That’s great! As it turns out, we know quite a bit about this guy named Mark. Now, let’s get started learning a lot about his Gospel. Turn to Mark 1. DIGGING IN (30 minutes) Mark 1 covers a lot of ground. In the beginning of the chapter, Jesus’ ministry has just started, but by the end of the chapter, Jesus is so popular He can’t go anywhere without a crowd. We don’t have time to cover everything in detail, but getting an overview of this first chapter will help us understand the rest of this great book as we continue our study.
Read Mark 1:1-13 Discussion Questions: 1. What’s missing here that you would expect from a Gospel account? (The story of the birth of Jesus.) 2. Why do you think Mark skips this important event?
The truth is, Mark is mostly concerned with Jesus' ministry. He is a gentile writing to gentiles. He is going to expose them to Jesus' teachings and miracles, and not spend a lot of time on other stuff. In fact, his favorite word is “immediately.” We’ll see it over 40 times in just 16 chapters of Mark's Gospel. Discussion Questions (continued): 3. What other historical figure does Mark use to introduce Jesus? (John the Baptist.) 4. What does John say of Jesus in verses 7-8? (He is more powerful and will baptize with the Holy Spirit.) 5. From where does Jesus enter the picture? (Nazareth, His home town.) 6. What is the first thing Jesus does, according to verse 9? (Has John baptize him.) 7. One more event precedes Jesus' ministry. What is it? (His temptation.)
Jesus was baptized and tempted. Mark’s inclusion of these two events affirm that Jesus was fully human, just like us. We can relate to Him. He identified with us in every way. Read Mark 1:14-20 Discussion Questions: 1. Simon, Andrew, James, and John were fishermen. What kind of people do you think they were? (Probably rough, tough guys. Uneducated blue-collar workers.) 2. Verse 18 says they followed Jesus “at once.” What does this urgency teach us? (We should not hesitate in our obedience. The message is too important!) 3. Jesus states He will make them “fishers of men.” What does this mean? (They will go out and evangelize to other people.) 4. What would it mean for you to be a fisher of men? What would you have to give up to do it?
Split students into four groups. Ask each group to read one of the following passages: Mark 1:21-28, 29-34, 35-39, and 40-45. Have each group tell the rest of the class what happened in the passages they read. Optional idea: Ask each group to act out a short skit which demonstrates the events of their passage instead. General Discussion: • What do these four stories have in common? (They all involve great acts of healing and miracles.) • Which miracle impresses you the most? Why? Mark will spend a lot of time reporting miracles that Jesus performed during his ministry. • What qualities does Jesus demonstrate through these accounts? (power, compassion, humanity, etc.) • How would you define compassion? (caring about others, etc.) • Why do you think these stories immediately follow the calling of the disciples? Is there some connection? What could it be? (If you want to follow Jesus, you must be prepared to serve, be compassionate, etc.)
If we truly want to be “fishers of men” and understand what Jesus is all about, we have to be aware that there are needs all around us. And, like Jesus, we need to “immediately” set about the task of meeting them. We may not be able to cast out demons or perform miracles—as some of His followers did in Scripture--but we can help people. MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes) General Discussion: • What impresses you the most about this introduction to Jesus' ministry? • What did you learn that you never knew before? • If you were Peter, Andrew, or one of the other disciples, how do you think you would feel about Jesus so far? • If you were one of the people who witnessed one of these miracles, how would you be different after having seen it? There are all sorts of needs around us. I hope you’ve been moved to recognize that Jesus wants us to be about meeting needs. CLOSING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes) Invite students to get back in small groups. Have them each share one need they know exists in their home, school, or community. Encourage them to make a plan to meet that need in Jesus’ name. Then, have each group pray for each other that they can live a life filled with Christ’s compassion. When they are all done, pray for your students to close out the day.
