Cause and Effect

• Begin by inviting God to show you what is the cause and effect hidden in these verses. Ask Him to show you nuggets of wisdom.
• Read the passage completely.
• Divide a piece of paper into two columns.
• Title the first column Cause and the second column Effect
• Reread the passage. This time ask if there are any instructions that are given that have a direct end result.
• Write down the causes (in Cause column)and the effects (in the Effects column).
• Do you find a pattern?
• What are your thoughts?
• Now as you wrap all these thoughts up in your mind. Stop and thank God for being with you this very day.

13. Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and taught the crowds that were coming to him.
14. As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax collector's booth. "Follow me and be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him.

15. Later, Levi invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus' followers.)
16. But when the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors and other sinners, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat with such scum?"

17. When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor ⏤ sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
Mark 2:13-17 NLT
