"THE GOSPEL OF MARK" The Savior's Sigh (8:11-13) INTRODUCTION 1. Have you ever considered the Lord's reaction to your behavior... a. When you refuse to believe in Him? b. When you do not follow Him as you should? 2. In this lesson I want us to think how Jesus must feel... a. When we put off obeying the gospel of Christ b. When we fail to trust and obey Him in our daily walk [In our text (Mk 8:11-13) we read of Jesus' response to those who came to test Him. Let's begin by carefully noting...] I. THE NARRATIVE A. THE PHARISEES' DEMAND A SIGN... 1. Jesus had just returned to the western shores of Galilee - Mk 8:10 2. The Pharisees began to dispute with Him - Mk 8:11 a. They had challenged Jesus before - Mk 2:6-7,16; 3:22; 7:1-2 b. Matthew adds that they were joined by the Sadducees - Mt 16:1 3. They demanded a sign - Mk 8:11 a. A sign from heaven, perhaps like Joshua? - cf. Josh 10:12-14 b. Had they not seen and heard of the many miracles already done? c. They were testing Him, perhaps hoping He would fail and be discredited B. JESUS' RESPONSE INVOLVED A SIGH... 1. He sighed deeply in His spirit - Mk 8:12 a. The anguish which Jesus experienced came from deep down inside him - Hendriksen b. Here the word "spirit" is used in a sense not much different from "heart" or "inner being." - ibid. 2. Similar responses on other occasions a. Grieved by the hardness of their hearts - Mk 3:5 b. Sighed as He healed the deaf mute - Mk 7:34 c. Groaned in His spirit seeing the grief of others - Jn 11:33 d. Wept over the city of Jerusalem - Lk 19:41-44 [Because of their hard hearts, no sign such as they were demanding would be given them, except His resurrection (Mk 8:12-13; cf. Mt 12:39-40; 16:1-4). Now consider whether Jesus might "sigh deeply in His spirit today...] II. THE APPLICATION A. JESUS OBSERVES OUR BEHAVIOR... 1. Just as He observed the behavior of Saul of Tarsus - Ac 9:5 2. Just as He observed the churches of Asia a. He knew their works - Re 2:2,9,13,19; 3:1,8,15 b. He found fault where it was due - Re 2:4,14,20; 3:2,16 B. WOULD NOT JESUS SIGH DEEPLY... 1. When we refuse to obey His gospel, time after time? - cf. Mt 11:28-30 2. When our conduct is not much different than those of the world? - cf. Mt 5:20 3. When our love is no different than that displayed by sinners? - cf. Mt 5:44-48 4. When the kingdom of God is not our priority in life? - cf. Mt 6:33 5. When tribulation or persecution causes us to stumble? cf. Mt13:20-21 6. When anxiety or materialism makes us unfruitful? - cf. Mt 13:22 7. When discouragement leads us to abandon prayer? - cf. Lk 18:1 8. When human traditions displace keeping the commands of God? - cf. Mk 7:7,9 9. When denominationalism defeats His prayer for unity? - cf. Jn 17:20-21 10. When love of the world replaces love for His Father? - cf. 1Jn 2:15-17 CONCLUSION 1. From the Savior's sigh we learn that Jesus cared deeply... a. For those He was willing to heal (e.g., the deaf mute) b. For those He was willing to save (e.g., the Pharisees) 2. In similar fashion, Jesus stands ready... a. To save us from our sins b. To heal us of our souls' diseases How will Jesus react to our response to Him? Will it be with great joy, or a deep sigh in His spirit...?

From Mark Copeland... The Savior's Sigh, Mark 8:11-13
From Jim McGuiggan... With Christ once more
With Christ once more
Due to illness—emotional or physical—life can feel dreary and sometimes we’d be happy to be done with life here. I’m not suggesting that this is a gift from God but I am saying that it’s one of the realities of human life in the world as it is.
I suppose something of that is seen in Paul’s Philippians 1:21-23 (NRSV). "For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labour for me; and I do not know which I prefer. I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better; but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you."
To be "with Christ" is to not be "away" from him. While he is "in the flesh" (that is, living in this present phase of human life) there is some sense in which he is not "with" Christ; but were he to die we would be "with" Christ. We’re well aware that even while living in the flesh Paul is with Christ and Christ with him (Matthew 28:20 and elsewhere) but there’s no mistaking his meaning here; dying adds a dimension to his being "with" Christ that he doesn’t experience while he’s in the flesh.
So here Paul speaks of his post-mortem state as "far better" than his present "with" Christ experience. Caution is fine in working with texts but sometimes we try too hard to "prove" what is perhaps plain enough to be rejoiced in. Paul isn’t talking about geography or spatial proximity when he says he wants to go and be "with" Christ. Questions such as, "Would he be sitting next to Christ?" or "Did he think he would be walking around with Christ as the apostles did in the days of Christ’s flesh?" are asking too much. If Paul even thought about such things we have no way of knowing but he clearly wants them to know that his present experience of Christ would be deepened and enriched if he experienced death.
I think there’s more in 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 than appears at first glance, but he does speak of being "away" and about being "at home" with God. And being "at home" or "away" from God is related to his life now in the flesh and to being absent from his body. My suspicion is that Philippians 1:21-23 carries that same sense of "with" and "not with," of being "at home" and being "away".
Now here’s a text that expressly speaks of a post-mortem state for Paul that would leave his readers without his immediate assistance. He’d like to taste the "far better" but is loathe for them to experience loss at his gain. This is not talking about the day of resurrection because his readers would not then be experiencing loss or needing his assistance—they’d be glorified along with him. No, Paul is speaking of an immediate post-mortem joy of deepened fellowship with Christ.
Let me repeat, I think there’s no doubt that Paul has a relational situation in mind where he is "with" Christ in a way that is better than being "with" Christ in this present phase of living. This is a passage that explicitly deals with life after death for a believer and it describes that situation in terms of our being "with Christ." Is that vague? Does it lack assurance and promise? I’d have thought it was the opposite! Clearly the truth isn’t developed in the text but why would that mean it was vague or somehow insubstantial or lacking in warm comfort? He says, "Dying and going to be with Christ is better than this!"
Get a view of Paul’s mind as he speaks of the glory of his ministry, of the joy and satisfaction he now finds in Christ, of the privilege he feels to be a servant of Christ to the world. For all his troubles he thought life in and with Christ even now was awesome, a triumph and a life-filled adventure. In fact, he looks at his troubles and thinks they are part of the glory (2 Corinthians 4, 6 and 11). Did ever a man live such a wonder-filled life? Get a sense of all that he was and did and felt and then hear him say, "It’d please me to die and go to be with Christ. That’s far better than this."
So what do you think he expected when he died? What did that being "with" Christ have that was better than what he now had? Well, he doesn’t say anything about the specifics but we know he knew it was far better than the present! I'd say that being with Christ post-mortem would certaily include the following.
"With" Christ would speak of a felt security.
"With" Christ would speak of a deepened intimacy.
"With" Christ would speak of a deepened sense of fellowship and communion.
We don’t know and don’t have to know the psychological ins and outs of that. We’re assured that "with" Christ speaks of it all.
The word "with" doesn’t stand alone, thank God! With "Christ"—that’s who he’ll be with, so let your reverent imagination get to work on that.
"Where is he?" a beloved mother asked her daughter about the husband she sorely missed since his death. He’s with Christ and now knows that neither life nor death is a threat to him (see Romans 8:38)—security! He’s with Christ and now is closer to him than when he was here—intimacy. He’s with Christ and now experiences a fellowship and communion that is deeper and more immediate than when he was here. (For a little more, click here.)

Deu 34:10 There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face,
Deu 34:11 in all the signs and the wonders, which Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
