THE GOSPEL OF MARK

CUSTOM OF TEACHING

Mark 10:1

10:1 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them.

NIV

As it was his custom, he taught them should send us a clear and present signal as to want we should do, if that is we are following Jesus. We often content that we want to live as Jesus taught us, or to be like Jesus. We even sign that song, or at least used to sing it before all the new music has arrived, “To be like Jesus, to be like Jesus, all I want is to be like him, all through life’s journey, from here to glory, all I want is to be like him” Well if we truly want to be like Jesus then one think we can know for sure that we should have a custom of teaching people everywhere we go. It would seem people everywhere will be taught about the truths of God when they come in contact with us, for that is our custom. We should even have a reputation of being a person who always brings the truth of God into a conversation. Jesus was always teaching, and if we want to follow Jesus then we should always be teaching as well. It is just that simply, it is not satirical, or has a hidden meaning, it just simply means if we want to live as Jesus did, following his ways, then we should have a custom of teaching people wherever we go.
