Transcripción
00:07How are you, brother? Let's continue walking with Jesus, guided by the Gospel of Mark. Okay.
00:15With the structure of the Gospel of Mark that we saw in past classes, this is divided
00:22in two stages. We are currently studying the first stage, of which we have seen the prologue.
00:29in which is contained the preparation for the Ministry of Jesus. We find this
00:37in Mark chapter 1, from verse 1 to 13. In the first part of this prologue, in the
00:45In verse 1 of this first chapter, we saw that Jesus invites us to have a new Genesis
00:55through the words that Mark records in his Gospel. We said that this verse...
01:02It shows us the evangelist's objective. What is it? To reveal to us who Jesus is. Saint Mark
01:12I already knew him. That's why from the beginning he's eager for us to get to know him, to tell us
01:21who is who. And from that moment on, he reveals it to us. But, even though he doesn't reveal it, do you know
01:30What is Mark seeking? That we answer the question of who Jesus is, so that each of us...
01:37Let him discover it. How wonderful this is, brothers. Look, Marcos knew it firsthand.
01:46Peter, also his cousin Barnabas, and Saint Paul, with whom he shared those journeys
01:54through Europe, those missionary journeys. And now it is Mark who proclaims it to his listeners and
02:05to all of us who have that encounter with Jesus through the writings of his Gospel.
02:11That is why we said that we too have a role to play as spokespeople for Christ, who through
02:19This study that we are beginning will gradually take shape in each of us. Then we begin
02:29The second part follows this prologue. It is a triptych that
02:36It comes from this same chapter 1, but from verse 2 to 13. These are three scenes that show us
02:46They reveal the identity of Jesus. Jesus is being anointed by the Father as Messiah King, as
02:56priest, as prophet, and also as son of God. In this triptych, then, he is shown
03:04the divine and human nature of Jesus, which is revealed by John the Baptist, also in
03:12His baptism and the temptations. Now let's continue looking at Jesus' ministry in Galilee. This
03:22We already started it in the previous class. And we say, ministry in Galilee, right? It's highlighted
03:32Geography. So something needs to be clarified. Although the structure is geographical, within it
03:41Theology is preserved. That theology that we will acquire in each teaching we receive.
03:49through the stories that come from this region. So let's see, brothers, Galilee as
03:58the beginning of the maturity of the faith of those disciples, of those twelve apostles. And it is
04:08This is why we will see that Jesus focuses a lot on them because he wants them to mature.
04:14Faith. Mark, on the other hand, portrays this stage as a failure. Why? Well, because
04:23We will see that they accept Jesus as the Messiah; however, it is not the messianism that
04:30They were expecting it. So this mission, during this first stage, will be quite a drama.
04:40Right? But what do you think? On the cross everything will be victorious, including his messiahship and his entire identity.
04:51His true nature as Messiah and Son of God will be fully revealed. The drama will then be over.
05:00Okay, now that we've reviewed all of that, let's pick up where we left off. The last thing
05:08What we had seen is that after John the Baptist was betrayed, Jesus left
05:15He went to Galilee and began to preach the good news, calling for conversion. We saw this in
05:24Chapter 1, verses 14-16. Following that, what the
05:33The evangelist Saint Mark describes the calling of the first disciples. And we must remember that
05:40Indeed, one of the themes addressed in this gospel and in the other synoptic gospels is the
05:48of discipleship. Let's look at the calling of those first disciples and then touch on the topic of
05:55Discipleship. Join me in your Bible by reading the text of chapter 1, verses 16-20.
06:03The passage is entitled "The Calling of the First Disciples."
06:11Jesus was walking along the Sea of ​​Galilee when he saw Simon and his brother Andrew saying
06:19They had their nets in the sea, for they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come with me and I will lead you to the sea.”
06:27to become fishers of men. They left their nets and immediately followed him. He continued
06:35Walking a little way, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, who was also in the
06:42boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them and they, leaving their father Zebedee in
06:50The boat with the hired workers went after him. Now let us read about the calling of Levi, who
06:59We find it in chapter 2, verses 13 to 14.
07:06He went out again along the seashore. All the people came to him, and he taught them.
07:16As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me."
07:25He got up and followed her.
07:29In the first passage we read, we are told about the vocation of the first disciples,
07:36Simon, Andrew, James, and John. In the second, Levi, whom we also know as Matthew.
07:46But what do we mean by the word vocation? Did you notice that the passage is titled that way?
07:54Vocation. This word, brother, comes from the Latin, vocare, which translates as to call. It is about,
08:06Well, it's about a call that Jesus makes to those first disciples. What does he call them to? He calls them to form
08:14part of his community. They will form the inner circle of Jesus and will always be mentioned in
08:23First place. Jesus, as yesterday and as today, brother, needs collaborators to establish
08:32the kingdom. So he surrounds himself with disciples.
08:38We also noticed that this calling occurred in the everyday lives of these people. They
08:46They were working when they were called. Look, that's how your calling will come to you too.
08:55Discipleship. You'll be going about your daily life and suddenly someone will come along and you'll feel that call to follow Jesus.
09:04to get to know him. A vocation, brother, is therefore a mission that they will first experience as being
09:17disciples, and some of them, from all those he calls, will become apostles. But without a doubt,
09:25We are all called to discipleship. And now you might ask, what does it mean to be a disciple? To be a disciple,
09:35Brother, it's about being a follower of someone. In this case, of Jesus. But it's not just about following because
09:45not to follow, but this following, brother, implies that you wish to be like the master. Take note,
09:55Pay attention to all those attitudes of Jesus that Scripture tells us about, because it's about being
10:05like him. And where will you find them? They had Jesus in person, but you will find him in the
10:13Writing. That's where you'll find him. Did you notice, brother? He found them in the everyday. But
10:21In addition to that, you can see that this calling begins with a look from Jesus. A look that
10:30It captivates, it touches the depths of one's being. It's a gaze that undoubtedly conveys love, it transmits
10:39Something special. Those are the eyes of Jesus that pierce us. He is the one who always calls us.
10:49First. And look, that look of Jesus had such an impact, as did his words, that there is something in
11:02Common to all these people, to all these callings, so to speak. What is it? Well, let the fact stand out.
11:11They left everything behind. What did they leave behind? Their sense of security, which was reflected in their work. Some left
11:21even their families. We may not have to leave our jobs, but we will have to give up what we thought was safe.
11:31We couldn't live like that because we felt safe. So they leave everything and respond to that command.
11:43Follow me immediately. Why? Because the word of Jesus has authority. So they obey.
11:55Today Jesus calls us, although perhaps not many of us are obedient to that call today. As I was saying, no
12:05we have
12:06Jesus physically, but we have him in Sacred Scripture. Also in our brother, in the priest,
12:15Who are the means by which Jesus calls us to follow him? So, only by responding
12:25By obeying this call, we would become his disciples. Father Juan Ruiz says that today we use
12:34There's a lot of time to respond right now. Imagine those disciples he called, saying, "Right now, Lord, let me..."
12:42I just saved the nets. The truth, brothers, is that we all know that when Jesus calls us or someone else does, it will happen.
12:51They call us and we respond with "right now," we use it because we are not interested in the person or their proposal.
13:02So keep thinking about this and ask yourself, would you be able to respond as the apostles did?
13:11Imagine that Jesus is speaking to you personally: Come and follow me.
13:21What was discipleship like in those times? Well, it was for the devout who wished to deepen their knowledge.
13:30and practices of the Law of Moses sought to be admitted into the group of some teacher or some
13:38rabbi. But in the case of Jesus it happened differently. He is the one who calls those who
13:47wants,
13:48as we can see in Mark chapter 3, verse 13. I invite you to read it.
13:54And what do they do? Well, they answer that call. And how did we see that they did it? Immediately.
14:03And not only did they abandon what they were doing at that moment, but brothers, they abandoned everything.
14:13Jesus intended to form a chain of discipleship in which his followers would learn
14:21doing what he himself did. Jesus didn't give them much information, but rather training.
14:32They followed him, listened to him, and obeyed him. Let us remember, brothers, that in the Jewish language,
14:41Listening implies obedience. In other words, what were they seeking? To be like the master.
14:51to imitate Christ. So much so that we see that Paul achieves it, right? Paul says in Galatians 2:20,
15:00It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. That is what it is about, brother, to merge, to become one.
15:09with Christ.
15:12Speak like Him, act like Him, and see life as He sees it.
15:19The objective of this discipleship chain can be seen in Mark 1:17.
15:25Jesus says to them, come with me and I will make you fishers of men.
15:33So it's about extending the kingdom of God. Therefore, every member who follows Christ,
15:41He is continually being changed by Christ and is also committed to the mission.
15:49Brothers and sisters, the gospel is relevant today. If we bring this into the present, some might think,
15:57Ah, this is only for priests. But no, brother, it's not like that. It's not only for priests.
16:06Being a disciple is for everyone. The call is also for us lay people.
16:13So, without a doubt, brother, you must also heed this call.
16:19Now, going back to this text from Mark 1:16-20, I want you to imagine that you are one of them.
16:29Jesus is passing by. He looks at you, calls to you, and I ask you, what do you answer him?
16:39Are you willing to follow him? And here's something important. If your answer is no,
16:48He will continue on his way, and we will lose sight of him. But it goes beyond that. We will lose him from our lives.
16:59The disciples, brothers and sisters, are called to learn and then to preach. They are people just like you and me.
17:09through which the Gospel could and will continue to be spread.
17:15Be seduced by his gaze as those four fishermen were, and respond as Levi did.
17:23Get up and follow him. I invite you to see how each of them reacted to the call that
17:30Jesus makes them
17:32And ask yourself questions about your life. Put yourself in the shoes of the fisherman, the tax collector.
17:40Think about their activities, what they were doing. Imagine everything they left behind.
17:47And think about it, what would you do? How would you react? Would you follow him?
17:53Reflect on this and let's continue. May we all, as committed disciples, walk the paths of Jesus through...
18:06the Bible.
18:07Saint Mark then invites us to spend a day with Jesus through his narrative.
18:14Would you like to be with Him and spend a whole day with Jesus?
18:20How wonderful, isn't it, brother!
18:22So I'm extending the invitation, and in the next video we'll accompany Jesus on a Saturday in
18:30Capernaum.
18:31See you in a moment!
