00:28The avenue
00:31Jesus commands his disciples not to tell anyone about the vision, but they will be able to do so later when the Son
00:40that the Son of Man has risen. This figure of the Son of Man appears here linked with the resurrection, therefore with
00:49tones of triumph and glory.
00:52The disciples partially understand that Jesus is the Messiah, but then what about Elijah? Wasn't he supposed to come first?
01:02Who is the Messiah? Well, Jesus says,
01:05Elijah was to come and restore order, but the Messiah had to suffer and be despised. That is why Mark presents in
01:16the same line to Elijah and the Son of Man.
01:18They did whatever they wanted with Elijah, referring to John the Baptist, and they will do the same with the Son of Man.
01:28In this way, Jesus makes the glorious Son of Man who was to come in the clouds also the servant
01:37suffering person who gives their life and suffers death.
01:41The epileptic demon
01:44Without any indication of a change of scenery, Marcos presents us with a text rich in detail.
01:52Some helpless disciples, a desperate father, a suffering child, and a crowd surprised by the presence of Jesus.
02:05Mark had already made it clear that Jesus' disciples had the power to proclaim the kingdom and heal the sick.
02:14and expel demons, but now there is a case in which he does not have the capacity to perform an exorcism.
02:23The context is one of a lack of faith, both in the disciples and in the child's father, and in the
02:31people surrounding Jesus.
02:33The brief but intense dialogue between Jesus and the child's father is the doctrinal high point of the passage because in
02:43In their desperation, they don't know how to act.
02:46He has faith, but perhaps not enough. That's why he asks Jesus to use his miracle to make it grow.
02:54their faith in God.
02:57Second announcement of the passion and teaching about the greatest
03:03Jesus dedicates time to his disciples, when he speaks to them again about his passion and death.
03:10Now the disciples are afraid, but their fear does not prevent them from having temporary concerns.
03:18Jesus speaks of death as they walk towards Capernaum.
03:23They argue about who among them is the most important.
03:27Jesus doesn't give a sermon, he just sits down.
03:32He tells them that the first is the one who takes the last place, and whoever is the greatest must...
03:40to show in the service, and to make the idea clearer, he takes a child.
03:45The child places him in the middle of the twelve and tells them that they must receive a child to
03:52to receive him.
03:53And in receiving him, who will receive?
03:56He has sent Jesus.
03:59In ancient Jewish society, children were what the elderly are in our cultures today.
04:13Jesus says that the benefits they provide are nothing compared to what is invested in them.
04:49John remains concerned about his situation as a follower of Jesus and learns about Jesus.
05:03John doesn't talk about being a follower of Jesus, which would be appropriate, but about being a follower of the group, as if he
05:13group of disciples outside the point of reference.
05:16That is why Jesus reminds them that accepting their teacher is also a way of accepting his followers.
05:26So great are the disciples as followers of Jesus, that any detail shown to them, for the
05:35By being of Jesus, you will receive a reward.
05:40And the dignity of Jesus' disciples is so great that Christians must be careful not to cause scandal.
05:48to any simple brother.
05:51We cannot hide behind our wisdom to act as if we were the center of Christian life.
06:11Now a group of Pharisees asks Jesus about divorce.
06:16They had probably already heard that Jesus opposed this venerable Jewish institution because of its sexist and one-sided nature.
06:28One of the Pharisees' concerns, as we have already seen, was related to divorce, its legality, the conditions and
06:39the delivery of the divorce certificate to the repudiated wife.
06:43But brothers, what was Jesus' basis for rejecting divorce?
06:48The Pharisees wanted to find out his position and asked him about it.
06:55Jesus does not answer directly, but asks them about the prescriptions of Moses.
07:04Of course, Moses had made it clear that it was possible and legitimate for the husband, never the wife, to repudiate
07:14his wife and granted him the freedom to remarry through the divorce decree.
07:23Jesus declares that if Moses allowed this action it is because of the hardness of the people's hearts.
07:30Because originally, when God created the first couple, at the moment of cohabiting, they became one flesh, of
07:41in such a way that they can no longer be separated.
07:44The union of flesh in marriage is a union that no man can break.
07:52And he concludes by saying that whoever uses the privilege of separating from his wife commits a sin that goes against the
08:01the same law they so cherish: committing adultery.
08:07Jesus and the children
08:10In a section that enriches Jesus' vision of children, he tells his disciples that only the
08:20Those who are like children have the capacity to enter into the dynamics of the kingdom of God.
08:26If God is a father, the Christian must be a perpetual child, not in naiveté or immaturity,
08:36but in unlimited trust in his father.
08:40The rich man
08:42Jesus had been successful in calling his first followers, and they had not been afraid to leave everything to go
08:52after Jesus.
08:54Now a man approaches them who wants much more than he has gotten from his inheritance.
09:00father.
09:01He wants to know how he can inherit the life of heaven.
09:05Jesus refers man to the commandments that God gave to Israel at Sinai, and man affirms
09:14that he has faithfully kept all those commandments since he was young.
09:20But brothers, how can you not love someone like that?
09:24Jesus himself is impressed by the integrity of that man, someone valuable.
09:31But brothers, to follow Jesus you don't need to have any ties.
09:39Jesus asks him to leave behind whatever might prevent him from giving everything, his riches.
09:46But if a man renounces his riches, he will have treasure in heaven, an exchange well worth the
09:55grief.
09:56But apparently, for this man, the security of his possessions was better than the promise of better possessions.
10:06A problem affecting all human beings.
10:09We prefer to enjoy the present rather than deserve a better and more promising future.
10:17Dangers of riches
10:21For the Jews, wealth was always a sign of God's favor, for it was the way in which
10:29God showed men that a person was good and faithful.
10:35Wealth was a blessing from God, nothing more and nothing less.
10:40But now, Jesus affirms that those who trust in or have riches cannot enter into the dynamic of the kingdom of God.
10:51Because?
10:55For Jews, wealth was always nothing more and nothing less.
10:55For Jews, wealth was always nothing more and nothing less.
11:01For Jews, wealth was always nothing more and nothing less.
11:02For Jews, wealth was always nothing more and nothing less.
11:02For Jews, wealth was always nothing more and nothing less.
11:03Wealth was, for the Jews, nothing more.
11:04Wealth was, for the Jews, nothing more.
11:07Thank you!
