Message Title: I Deserve vs. Have Mercy on Me. Text: Mark 10:35-52

1. At the start of Ben's message, Ben stated, "I hope that in our time together God changes you. How has God changed you through his word and the message on Sunday?

2. What was most surprising to you about this passage in Mark?

3. How does the passage reflect the upside down nature of the gospel?

4. Ben compared two postures that we can assume before Jesus, "I deserve" and "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me." How have these two postures played out in your life?
