“The Mark” sports camp Bible theme is based on Paul’s exhortation to young Timothy when he said, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)

The original Greek word used here for “example” has several meanings. Here are some of them: a) the mark of a stroke or blow, print, b) a figure formed by a blow or impression, c) an example to be imitated.

The language Paul is using here is that when the Gospel has truly impacted a believer’s life, a real visible mark will be seen in that person’s life. It will be evident. There will be a figure formed by that blow or impression.

This Greek word is the exact same word John uses in John 20:25 when he describes Thomas’ response to the other disciples after the resurrection of Jesus. The disciples told Thomas, “We have seen the Lord!” and Thomas’ response is: “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Thomas is saying that he needed to see the mark left by those nails in Jesus’ hands when he was crucified to truly believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. Not long after, Thomas would see those marks left by the nails with his very own eyes, and it changed Thomas. Thomas himself was marked from that day forward.
