Jesus: Man of Action – Pursuing God

Mark 2:18-22

#1 A LOST SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE v. 18

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. Matthew 4:1-2 (NIV)

#2 A TIME TO CELEBRATE AND A TIME TO MOURN v. 19-20

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)

#3 JESUS MAKES ALL THINGS NEW vv. 21-22

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

#4 PURSUING HIM WITH PASSION

When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:16-18 (NIV)
