40 days with Mark and Jesus (17)

Mon 25 Feb: Mark 7:24-37

Faith in Jesus as Lord is found in a Gentile woman and a deaf man. This is not positive thinking but clinging to the reality of God with us in Christ. The woman does not set her daughter free; the deaf man does not fix his ears, the Lord Jesus displays the power and compassion of God in works of mercy and grace. Do we place our faith in this Jesus as Lord and Christ?

Prayer: Open our deaf ears and set free our sin enslaved hearts that we might live by faith in Christ Jesus our Saviour. O Lord, do this mighty work for those we know who are deaf to you and in bondage to this world.
