Something new for me was your final observation about how quickly Jesus began to call disciples. It's a lesson in both community and leadership: Jesus invited people to join his mission, and began training leaders from the get-go. I’m looking forward to following this series.

I had to cut back a ton on my notes for this one. There's a kind of reimagining of both the exodus AND the return from exile. After reading the prophets it's pretty clear that the people of Israel really did expect God to return and take over, meaning that God himself would return from exile (as with Ezekiel). I think Jesus both spoke through these symbolic actions and gave them new meanings at the same time with his message about the Kingdom of God. Thanks!

We studied Mark last year in my small group (it's our pastor's favorite Gospel). Your series presents a great opportunity to revisit it.
