团队建造(10分钟)
打印著名人物的照片：一些非常有名的人和一些不太有名的人（例如地方政治家，运动员等）。请学生识别每个名人。或者，将照片复制粘贴到单独的纸上，然后分发给各小组。给一两分钟说出每个人的名字。看谁最正确。引出今天的问题，即“你说我是谁？”
课堂起头(10分钟)
请所有学生写下他们为什么选择跟随基督。然后，请一些学生大声读他们写下的内容。
一般讨论：
• 在我们听到的各种关于跟随基督的理由中，有共性吗？
• 你认为是什么激发了门徒跟随耶稣？
深入学习(30分钟)
读 马可福音8:22-26
问题讨论：
1.耶稣的神迹分两步完成。它们是什么？（耶稣吐唾沫在那人眼睛上，两次按手他）
2.为什么神迹要分两步才发生？
3.为什么耶稣告诉那人不要进村庄？
读 马可福音8:27-33
问题讨论：
1.为什么耶稣会问门徒祂是谁？（帮助祂的跟随者认识到祂是神的儿子）
2.彼得，照着他的本性，跳出来回答了。他的回答是什么？（“你是弥赛亚”）
3.彼得的答案是耶稣想要的吗？为什么？
4.这是第一次耶稣提到祂必须经历苦难。祂为什么选择这时做这个？
5.耶稣为什么对彼得生气？（因为彼得试图劝阻祂）
6.耶稣提到了“神的事”和“人的事”。耶稣可能谈到哪些“人的事”？（满足临时需求，建立地上的国度等）
读 马可福音8:34-38
问题讨论：
1.这段经文的主要观点是什么？（门徒需要付出牺牲）
2.耶稣在这里与谁说话？（人群）
3.第36节提出了一个问题。答案是什么？（没有益处）
4.第37节也提出了一个问题。答案是什么？（没有什么东西）
耶稣提出这类问题的目的是什么？
应用(10分钟)
您可能不知道，我们刚刚读的经文开始了马可福音的一个新的部分。直到这时候，门徒对耶稣在做什么和祂是谁（例如，喂饱5000人，然后是喂饱4000人，播种的比喻等）有些不明白。马可福音的下半部分涉及许多对门徒的启示。
瞎子的故事很可能是为了适应接下来的部分中耶稣教导门徒的内容。祂不仅治愈了身体上的眼瞎，还治愈了门徒的属灵眼瞎。
这段经文对门徒来说是一个转折点。从此以后，耶稣将重点放在祂作为世界救主所付的代价上。门徒们每个人开始意识到他们对弥赛亚的想法与神的计划不同。
为了看清楚，我们需要否认己，改变我们对神应该为我们做什么的想法，背起十字架，愿意接受成为基督徒所带来的后果，跟随祂和祂对我们的旨意。
一般讨论：
• 在你的日常生活中，否认自己跟随基督是如何运作的？是什么样子？
• 这意味着谁在掌管—你还是耶稣？（是耶稣）
• 为什么真正拥抱这种生活的基督徒那么少？
考虑这如何影响我们的职业选择、课外活动、人际关系和日常习惯。幸运的是，神要我们不仅将我们想要的生活交给祂，还将那些让我们沮丧、担忧的部分也交给祂。神要一切——我们的欢乐、我们的受伤害和我们的痛苦。祂应许在这个过程中创造出美好的事物。门徒的生活是要求很高的，但也是深刻充实的。思考你信奉基督的原因。
结束祷告(5-10分钟)
祈祷学生能够拥抱耶稣开创的门徒之路——自我牺牲。

The Ministry of Jesus According to Mark
Lesson 5: Who is He to You?
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Goals
1. To educate students on the life and ministry of Jesus according to the Gospel of Mark 2. To challenge students with what it means to follow Jesus 3. To inspire students to deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow Jesus
Topics
Choices, Comfort, Commitment, Cross, Disciple, Following Jesus, Fruitfulness, Integrity, Perseverance
Scripture Memorization
Mark 8:34
OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)
GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes)
Print pictures of famous people: some really famous and some marginally famous (i.e. local politicians, athletes…etc.). Ask students to identify each celebrity. Or, copy and paste pictures onto individual pieces of paper and pass them out to your group. Give them a minute or two to name each individual. See who can get the most right. This will set up the question for today, which is, “Who do you say that I am?”
GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)
Have all students write down in their workbooks why they have chosen to follow Christ. Then, have a few of the students read aloud what they wrote down.
General Discussion: • Of the reasons we've heard for following Christ, are there any commonalities? • At this point in our study, what do you think motivates the disciples to follow Jesus?
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
Read Mark 8:22-26
Discussion Questions: 1. Jesus’ miracle happened in two steps. What were they? (Jesus puts His hands on the man's eyes two times, once spitting on His hands first.) 2. Why do you think it took two steps for the miracle to take place? 3. Why do you suppose Jesus told the man not to go into the village? Read Mark 8:27-33
Discussion Questions: 1. Why would Jesus ask the disciples who people said He was? (To help His follwers realize that He is the Son of God.) 2. Peter, in true form, jumps out here with an answer. What is it? (“You are the Messiah”) 3. Do you feel that Peter’s answer was what Jesus was looking for? Why or why not? 4. For the first time, Jesus talks about the suffering He must go through. Why do you think He chooses to do that now? 5. Why does Jesus get upset with Peter? (Because Peter tries to rebuke Him.) 6. Jesus mentions “the things of God” and “the things of men.” What are some of the “things of men” Jesus might be talking about? (Meeting temporal needs, establishing earthly kingdoms, etc.) Read Mark 8:34-38
Discussion Questions: 1. What is the main point in this passage? (Discipleship requires sacrifice) 2. Who does Jesus address here? (The crowd) 3. Verse 36 poses a question. What do you think the answer to that question is? (There's no good) 4. Verse 37 also poses a question. What do you think the answer to it is? (Nothing) 5. What do you think is the point of Jesus challenging and asking questions like this?
MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)
You may not know this, but the passage we just read begins a new section of Mark’s gospel. Up to this point, the disciples have been somewhat clueless as to what Jesus is doing and who He is (i.e., feeding of 5,000, then feeding of 4,000, Parable of the Sower, etc.). The second half of Mark’s gospel deals a lot with enlightening the disciples.
The story of the blind man is likely put into place here to fit in with what Jesus was teaching the disciples in the next section. He was not only curing physical blindness, but also the spiritual blindness of the disciples.
This passage is a turning point for the disciples. From here on out, Jesus focuses on the cost He will pay as Savior to the world. The disciples each begin to realize that their idea for a Messiah is not the same as God's plan.
In order to see clearly, we need to deny ourselves and change our ideas of what God should do for us, take up our cross, be willing to accept the consequences that come along with being a Christian, and follow Him and His Will for us.
General Discussion: • In your daily life, how does denying yourself and following Christ work? What does that look like? • Who does it mean is in charge—you or Jesus? (Jesus) • Why do you think so few Christians really embrace this lifestyle?
Consider how this may influence career choices, extracurricular activities, relationships, and daily habits. Fortunately, God wants us to turn over to Him not only the parts of our lives that are what we want, but also those parts that cause us frustration, worry, and concern. God wants it all -- our joys, our hurts, and our pain. And He promises to make something beautiful out of us in the process. The life of a disciple is demanding, but it is also deeply fulfilling. Consider your own reasons for being a Christian.
CLOSING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)
Pray that students embrace the path of discipleship that Jesus blazed—self-sacrifice.
