Growing in God's Grace and Knowledge Lesson 7: Eternal Life as God's Sons and Daughters! Feast of Unleavened Bread: War and Rescue Lesson 7: Amid His hands-on ministry, Jesus constantly pointed to the definitive way in which He would serve humanity: His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. It is only through faith in these works of Jesus Christ that human beings find eternal redemption for their whole selves. Moreover, Jesus becomes our model for how to live our lives—serving others as He did.

Three times in three consecutive chapters—8, 9, and 10—Mark pictured Jesus informing His disciples of His great sacrifice and ultimate victory.

Where are we?

His disciples either rejected the teaching altogether Mark 8: As Jesus prepared to perform the greatest service in the history of the human race, His disciples could only think about themselves—their position or safety. The temptations we all wrestle with when faced with an opportunity to serve another person are to pull back within ourselves, to seek our comfort, or to protect our own interests. The challenge that Jesus presents to us in the book of Mark involves breaking out of those patterns of self-absorption and giving ourselves in service and love to others.
