40 days with Mark and Jesus (12)

Mark 6:1-13

The people of Jesus’ home town take offence at his teaching and his deeds. They think they know who Jesus is and are scandalized when he breaks out of the box they have made for him.
The Lord Jesus is not concerned about gathering honour for himself, he sends out twelve commissioning them to preach and heal – just as he has. The desire of the Lord Jesus is that all should hear about and enter into the joy of the Kingdom of God.

Prayer: Gracious Lord, forgive me when I treat you with contempt and when I try to control you by limiting you to my understanding. May your Kingdom come in the preaching of your word to all who hear it.
