Mark 3:7–12 — Seeing Jesus

2025-06-22

Do you really see Jesus for who he is — or just for what you want from him? As Jesus tries to withdraw from rising conflict, he’s pursued by massive crowds who want healing and help — but few truly recognize his identity. Originally preached to Ekklesia Churches by Dan on June 22, 2025. In Mark 3:7–12 we explore the difference between seeing Jesus partially and seeing him clearly. Crowds pressed in to touch him, and even the demons fell down and cried out that he was the Son of God, but none really saw the full picture that included the cross.

In Mark 3:7–12 we explore the difference between seeing Jesus partially and seeing him clearly. Crowds pressed in to touch him, and even the demons fell down and cried out that he was the Son of God, but none really saw the full picture that included the cross.

Teaching Highlights:

The crowd’s response reveals desire without surrender — they wanted to be served, not a King.
Demons recognized Jesus’ identity, but still rejected his mission.
Seeing Jesus clearly means responding with a life of worship and surrender.
Jesus will not be reduced to a healer or helper — he is Lord and Savior.

Jesus ultimately doesn't call for crowds, He calls disciples who see him clearly and follow him fully.
