Read: Mark 9
Meditation: Mark tells us that Jesus changes His ministry focus
at this point. Up to now Jesus has focused on the multitudes, now
however He begins to work with His disciples as He prepares them for His
suffering and death and the work they will carry on in His name after
His ascension into heaven. As you read look for the shift in this
chapter.
Prayer Starter: Jesus, You have truly served me in all ways. Help
me to notice the opportunities You give me to serve others. 
Read: Mark 10
Meditation: As you read this chapter you will see Jesus as the
Servant-Savior and the attitude He wants us to also have. This attitude is
directed toward four different areas of service. He shows us the Servant’s
heart toward families, possessions, greatness and those in need. Many of
these teachings go against our own human understanding and reason. It is
only Jesus’ tender concern for us that shows us how God wants us all to
act toward each other.
Prayer Starter: Lord I know that my attitude is often in conflict
with what You have taught in Your Word. Forgive me and help me to also have
a servant attitude like Yours.
Read: Mark 11
Meditation: We begin to see the peoples’ rejection of Jesus, and
Jesus’ response is to talk about faith and fruit. As Jesus looked at the
fruit in our lives, what is it He sees? Is it like the fig tree which was
all show but no fruit. If Jesus looks for fruit in your life, what will He
find?
Prayer Starter: Lord, I give thanks to You for Jesus’ cross that
has made it possible for me to produce for You the fruit of
righteousness.
Read: Mark 12-13
Meditation: These two chapters continue the theme of rejection of
Jesus the Servant-Savior, and what it means for those who reject Jesus and
for those who do not. Look for them as you read.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I give You thanks that I have not rejected You
and Your son. Help me to ever remain faithful to You.
Read: Mark 14-15
Meditation: Mark tells us of the depths of Jesus’ suffering,
crucifixion and death. As you read remember that our eternal destiny hung in
the balance as Jesus suffered and died for us. Satan unleashes his total
fury against the Son of God, and the outcome would change our personal
history forever.
Prayer Starter: Lord, You know all things about me, and still You
love me and died for me. I let Your love transform my life forever.
Read: Mark 16
Meditation:
Everything God has predicted. Everything Jesus has predicted has
come true. Even the disciples don’t understand it all. Jesus is gentle
with them for their unbelief and brings them reassurance. Their fear was
to be replaced with faith and the world was taken by storm by their
boldness.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to have more faith so that my fears
will be less and my boldness will be more.
