Read Mark Chapter 4.
Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: “Listen!” (Mark 4:1-3a)
In Mark chapter 4, Jesus has a clear message to the massive crowds following him – the call is to LISTEN!
It’s not just for those who are sitting lakeside – it’s also a call for those of us reading and hearing this epic story 2000 years later.
In this chapter – Jesus starts teaching in Parables. Parables are basically stories that make some point. But the point is not always obvious, that’s why it’s important to listen! Jesus would often explain what the parables meant – not to the crowds – but to his friends who stuck around afterwards.
I am stoked that you have stuck around to day 4 in these videos following Jesus’ Epic Story!
My challenge? Keep going, keep listening, and keep your ears open!
