Where does it come from?
And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

1. Compassionate authority to Call.
Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

2. Compassionate authority to Cleanse.
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.”
A leper. This leper represents our world. “Touched him.”
The response. “If you will, you can make me clean.”
The results. “show yourself to the priest and off for your cleansing.” What’s so significant about this?
Jesus’ Authority is redemptive and compassionate to cleanse.

Mark 1:21
And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark 1:
And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
The teaching - “He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” Wow.
We need to be around this as much as possible. And we will.

What is culture? Give some examples.
What is something you think you do differently than others? Give an example.
, , and all talk about Jesus at the beginning of Creation. also says that God called everything He made “good,” (except that man should not be alone.) tells us of something terrible that happened and has continued to happen to all of humanity.
Now…think about why Jesus came...
What is something you think you do differently than others? Give an example.
Born of God, not man
Modeled exactly what it meant to Follow God.
Gave His life so that we could be freed from the terrible tragedy of .
Remember what says:
And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
That little phrase “the heavens tore open” represents and is actually everything God literally did in Jesus and has done in Jesus.
Have you ever heard of the word “redeemed?” What does it mean?
Now think about what Jesus said…and did…and now think about “culture” and “breaking it?”
Here’s the real question...
Did Jesus break culture OR…was he redeeming it? Talk amongst yourselves.
Sometimes it takes a death…to bring life. #Redeemed
