40 days with Mark and Jesus (8)

Tue 26 Feb: Mark 8:1-21

Even after a second feeding miracle the twelve disciples still do not understand who Jesus is. The yeast they and we with them are to beware of is that denial of Jesus as the Son of God, that refusal to receive this Jesus as our only Saviour. We may see mighty things from God and still despise and reject his salvation in Christ Jesus our Saviour.

Prayer: O Lord, I confess it offends my pride to depend upon Jesus as my Saviour, work in my heart by your Spirit’s powerful presence to root out this pride and bring me to depend upon Christ alone.
