Answer 1

You want an explanation, in ten sentences or more, of ONE VERSE out of the Bible?

This represents everything that's wrong with Sunday School, with Church, with people who think they are Christians . . . Simplify the Bible to a sentence or two, and think you can learn a lesson from it -- or worse, think you can teach a lesson from a few sentences.

There is no lesson to be found in any single verse of scripture. Any single sentence is pointless.

Text without context is simply pretext.


Mark 1: 35 In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed. 36And Simon and his companions hunted for him. 37When they found him, they said to him, ‘Everyone is searching for you.’ 38He answered, ‘Let us go on to the neighbouring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.’ 39And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.

40 A leper* came to him begging him, and kneeling* he said to him, ‘If you choose, you can make me clean.’ 41Moved with pity,* Jesus* stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’ 42Immediately the leprosy* left him, and he was made clean. 43After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, 44saying to him, ‘See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.’ 45But he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the word, so that Jesus* could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.

Answer 2

I think this one is as clear as you're gonna get it.
Jesus had compassion on this man and healed him.
What could be more simple?
He cared enough about this man's ailment to do something about it. He not only saw this man's need, but, He met his need. Sometimes we see people in need of whatever it is and we turn the other way. We see people who could use a helping hand, and we do nothing. Our world, the people which are in it, have become so cold and callused. So, this is a good example for us to live by and demonstrate when encountering someone with a need. If someone is hungry, feed them, if they need some shoes, provide for them. If an handicap or elderly person need a hand, take some time out to help them.

Answer 3

Physical impairment was seen by the Jews of the time to be punishment from God. So the lepers, the blind, the lame were obviously very evil people or they wouldn't be in their predicament. Jesus commits a very controversial act when he heals this man because to the Jewish leadership, the Saducees, and to the Pharisees he was essentially forgiving this man's sins by grace.

Whether he actually did or not depends on your belif in miracles. I personally do not believe in miracles such as walking on water and changing water into wine. I believe Jesus was made human in every way as Hebrews said, meaning that nothing he ever did violated the known rules of the physical world. So to me, the healing stories likely refer to people who were afflicted by psychological trauma or Jesus possessed a certain understanding of the physical world, specifically of medicine, that we do not yet possess. So if you are like me and believe miracles are mythologized accounts of real events, Jesus alleviated this man's internally generated suffering through psychological healing.

If, like most Christians, you believe in the stories literally and thus take miracles and healings at face value, then this affliction was a real, scientific condition and Jesus magically changed the man's body to heal him of the disease.

Either way, the Jews would see a healing as heresy, for in forgiving the sins that caused the ailment Jesus was implicitly claiming to be God. Notice that he follows the healing by telling the man not to tell anyone Jesus had done it but to go and make the requisite sacrifices under Mosaic Law and present himself to the priests as having been cleansed for his petition rather than by Jesus. Clearly Jesus did not want to make life harder on himself or the man or to further aggravate his opposition to Mosaic Law.

It's worthy of noting that the word used here for "clean" is katharizo, which can mean literally cleaning someone, cleansing them spiritually, or merely to bless them or consecrate them as a Levitical priest would (a blessing denied lepers because they were seen as un-reconciled with God). It is possible Jesus merely blessed the man and told him to go and receive the blessing of the priest and that the man actually went right on having leprosy. It is also possible Jesus was the only one willing to help him clean off the dead skin and sanitize his wounds. There are many possibilities but the important thing is that this man was afflicted and whatever Jesus really did essentially set the man to rights.

In an inner sense, this story has power in that sacrificing our egos to Jesus and believing the sinners prayer - Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner - and seeking cleansing can wash away the slough and the scarring that covers our bodies and hearts. I think it may have been Nietzsche who said that a good book can break up the frozen sea within us - Jesus is like that.

Answer 4

FAITH, If your mom says she is going to feed you dinner, do you think she will ? Same with jesus, faith, but:
What would happen if God answered every prayer? By answering every possible prayer, God would in effect abdicate, turning the world over to us to run. History shows how we have handled the limited power granted us: we have fought wars, committed genocide, fouled the air and water, destroyed forests, established unjust political systems, concentrated pockets of superfluous wealth and grinding poverty. What if God gave us automatic access to supernatural power? What further havoc might we wreak? Most of us learn, over time, that some prayers prove better off unanswered.

Country singer Garth Brooks had a hit song in which he recalls his impassioned prayers for God to melt the heart of a high school sweetheart—later apparent to him as a terrible choice: Just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Answer 5

Technically, the lesson lies in the entire passage, beginning in Mark 1:40, and ending in Mark 1:45 -- to understand completely, you need to include the entire passage.

However, the intended message is that a man in need came to Jesus to be healed, and begged for it, saying, "if You are willing, You can make me clean", and Jesus complied --- but warned the man strongly not to share his experience with anyone else. He told the man to show himself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for his cleansing as a testimony, but the man didn't comply. Instead, he spread the news to everyone he saw, rendering it impossible for Jesus to enter into a town openly. Instead, He stayed outside in lonely places, where people came to Him.
The lesson is multi-fold.....Jesus willingly heals all who come to Him in faith, even when we don't follow His commands, and even in our unfaithfulness, Christ prevails.
