If you want to actually be like Jesus (Sermon)
by Westminster
Let’s pretend that we all get together and decide to imitate someone named Ischyros. Great! Let’s do it! But hold on, there’s a problem. We first need to know what Ischyros is like before we can we imitate him.
Christians agree that we want to be “like Jesus.” But if we want to actually be like Jesus, we have to know what Jesus is actually like. Many of us have blind spots. We emphasis certain parts of him, downplay others, or have a limited understanding.
This sermon explores Mark 4:35-41 and the stilling of the storm. It’s an opportunity to answer the question posed by the baffled disciples in the boat: “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” It’s a story which is meant to make us ponder who Jesus is on a deeper level. Four specific questions are suggested to help you be honest about where you’re at. Who you think Jesus is influences you are becoming.
