<< BACK TO MATTHEWFeb 187. Why is Jesus called "Lord even of the Sabbath"? (Mark 2:28)[w08 2/15 p. 28, par. 7][/u].”—Matt. 12:8; Luke 6:5.[/ul] Feb 188. Why did Jesus respond as he did regarding his mother and his brothers, what does this teach us? (Mark 3:31 - 35)[w08 2/15 p. 29, par. 5][/u]. (Gal. 4:26) From then on, Jesus’ disciples were nearer and dearer to him than his fleshly relatives were. This teaches us to put spiritual interests first in our lives.—Matt. 12:46-50; Luke 8:19-21.[/ul] Feb 259. As recorded in Mark 8: 22 - 25, why may Jesus have restored the blind man's sight in two steps, and what can we learn from this? (Mark 3:31 - 35)[w00 2/15 p. 17, par. 7]Feb 2510. What can we learn from the way Jesus reacted to Peter's rebuke at Mark 8: 32 - 34? [w08 2/15 p. 29, par. 6][/u]. A follower of Christ must be prepared to “disown himself,” that is, to deny himself and say no to selfish desires and ambitions. He should be willing to “pick up his torture stake”—to suffer, if need be, or be shamed or persecuted or even put to death for being a Christian. And he must “continually follow” Jesus, conforming to His pattern of life. The course of discipleship requires that we develop and maintain a self-sacrificing spirit like that of Christ Jesus.—Matt. 16:21-25; Luke 9:22, 23.[/ul]

Mar 41. What serious reminder did Jesus give about marriage as recorded at Mark 10: 6 - 9? [w08 2/15 p. 30, par. 8][/u] to overcome any difficulties that may arise in marriage.—Matt. 19:4-6. [/ul] Mar 42. What does it mean to serve Jehovah whole-souled? Mark 12: 30? [w97 10/15 p. 13, par. 4][/u].—Mark 12:29, 30. [/ul] Mar 113. What are "the pangs of distress" referred to at Mark 13: 8? [w08 3/15 p. 12, par. 2][/i]” refers to the intense pain experienced during childbirth. How accurately that describes the intensity of people’s suffering in these “critical,” or “fierce,” times that are so “hard to deal with”!—2 Tim. 3:1; Kingdom Interlinear. [/ul]
