  • Mark 10:28-31. This passage is not literal. Jesus is making the point that we may have to sacrifice physically to be rewarded spiritually.
  • Mark 10:46-52 - Bartimaeus showed his exemplary character in persistently seeking Jesus, addressing Him with respect, and showed interest in spiritual matters, even after being healed.
  • Mark 11:1-11 - This is often referred to as the Triumphal Entry of Jesus.
    • Hosanna is a Greek transliteration of a Hebrew word meaning “save, we pray”. See Psalms 118:25-26. It was originally a cry for help but came to be used as praise.
  • Mark 11:15-17 - Jesus protected the holiness of the temple by driving out the salesmen and moneychangers. Selling animals for sacrifice was not wrong, but doing so in the temple was. We must be careful of the same thing in the church today.

  • Mark 10:13-16 - The kingdom of God belongs to those who receive it in the spirit of children. This directly contradicts the doctrine of total inherited depravity.
  • Mark 10:21. This command was specific to this man because he had a particular problem with materialism. It is not a bad idea for us to make our own personal rules like this to help with particular sins.
  • Mark 10:25 - Here Jesus exaggerates to make His point. It is possible for a wealthy man to go to heaven, but it is not easy.
