River Valley Church of Christ
This summer we’re going to have a series of messages based on the parables of Jesus in Mark’s Gospel. We encourage you to read the entire Gospel to understand Jesus’ stories in their context.
Jesus was different – different from any Jewish rabbi in his day, different from other religious leaders, different in his words and actions. When people asked him “Why?” he had an answer, and sometimes he answered with a little story or parable.
Jesus makes a Festive Point: his presence marks a change in perspective.
Mark 2:18-20 ESV
Jesus makes a Patch Point: he’s not into patchwork.
Mark 2:21 ESV
Jesus makes a Stretch Point: he has something new to offer.
Mark 2:22 ESV
