Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

Welcome to our in-depth Bible study on Mark 2:13-17, where we explore the powerful message of Jesus’ mission to seek and save the lost. In this sermon titled, “Healing the Outcast: Explaining Jesus’ Mission,” we dive into the heart of why Jesus came to earth, focusing on His call to the broken, the outcast, and the sinner. This teaching unpacks the profound truth of Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

What You’ll Learn:
1. Why Jesus intentionally reached out to tax collectors and sinners, like Levi (Matthew), and what this means for us today.

2. How Jesus’ actions in Mark 2:13-17 reveal His compassion for the brokenhearted, as echoed in Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.”

3. The significance of Jesus’ call to repentance and His role as the Great Physician for those who recognize their need for Him.

4. Key Greek words like ochlos (multitude), akoloutheō (follow), hamartōlos (sinner), and metanoia (repentance), which deepen our understanding of the text.

5. Practical applications for living out Jesus’ mission in our own lives by seeing, sitting with, and calling the outcast.

Key Points:
1. Jesus Sees the Outcast: Jesus didn’t just glance at Levi; He saw him with divine perception, calling a despised tax collector to follow Him. No one is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

2. Jesus Sits with the Broken: By dining with tax collectors and sinners, Jesus broke cultural and religious barriers, showing that He meets people where they are with transforming love.

3. Jesus Calls Sinners to Repentance: His mission isn’t to affirm self-righteousness but to invite sinners to metanoia—a radical turning of the heart and mind toward God.

This teaching is perfect for anyone seeking to understand the heart of Jesus’ mission and His love for the marginalized, to grow in faith through a verse-by-verse study of Mark 2:13-17, to be inspired to live with compassion, reaching out to those society overlooks, or to deepen their knowledge of Scripture with insights from Greek word studies and cross-references like Luke 5:27-29, Matthew 9:13, and John 12:26.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
