Thomas Bergen (Residence Coordinator at the Menno Simons Centre and alumnus of Regent College), continued his series on Mark: The Identity of Jesus. Jesus asked hundreds of questions and answered most questions posed to him with even more in reply, inspiring amazement in his listeners. As a Master Teacher, Jesus facilitated a learning process of self-discovery by telling stories and parables to describe the as-yet-unknown reality of the Kingdom of God. The Parable of the Soils in Mark 4 defines the 3 types of disciples who fail to fully learn from Christ: schmoozers (self-serving flatterers), flakes (like the rich young ruler, hoping for a different answer), and logic-choppers (questioning purely to impress). Are we asking the right questions? [KH]
