Week 3: Part One, Chapter 2 — The Unhurried Jesus

1.Comer walks through Mark 1 — often called a "day in the life" of Jesus — and notes that Jesus heals, teaches, and prays without apparent stress or rushing. What details of that passage surprised you most when you read it with unhurriedness in mind?

2.One of the chapter's most striking observations is that Jesus routinely walked away from crowds of people who needed him in order to be alone with his Father. How does that make you feel? Does it challenge your assumptions about what faithfulness looks like?

3.Comer points to the story of Lazarus (John 11) — where Jesus deliberately delays going to his sick friend — as one of the clearest examples of Jesus' unhurriedness. When Jesus finally arrives and Lazarus has died, the family is grieving. What was Jesus' reason for the delay, and what does it reveal about how he understood time and urgency?
