Biblical Discipleship in 2012 - Part Two

Did you read the Gosepl of Mark straight through, between ten and 24 times?  I hope so.  Here are some questions to ponder if you have done so. If you haven't done the reading, turn away from your screen, grab a modern English version of the New Testament and do the reading.  Good News for Modern Man, New International Version, The Message -- all are worthy translations for this project.

Questions worth pondering:

• What are the followers of Jesus like?  (skilled?  have all the answers?  compliant?  wise?  etc.)
• What leadership style does Jesus use?
• How important is it to "be right"?
• If your boss in 2012 managed you like Jesus manages the disciples, how would you probably feel?

I find it helpful to

1. write down answers and impressions when I think about questions like these
2. talk with at least one other person about what I am thinking and learning

Try it.  This could be an important route to faith in century 21, year 2012.
