boat in Mark 4
BOHT
This thing shows up in Mark 4:1: “Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down.…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Mark 4:1
“Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea.”
What kids can learn
When you hear boat in Mark, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read Mark 4:1 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
