Question: Why are miracle stories an important feature of Mark’s Gospel?
Author: Jonny Greenshields
Description
Based on a knowledge of the following miracle stories from Mark’s Gospel (Feeding of the 5000, Healing of Legion, Calming of the Storm, Walking on Water, Raising of Jairus’ Daughter) this mystery challenges students to infer what each of the stories suggest about Jesus' identity. As well as this, students will need to consider what different interpretations of miracle exist and how they apply to the stories.
- Match up slips to the different miracle stories: Feeding of the 5000, Healing of Legion, Calming of the Storm, Walking on Water, Raising of Jairus’ Daughter
- Discuss, debate and think about what each of the stories suggest about Jesus' identity
- Consider and discuss the different interpretations that exist
