40 days with Mark and Jesus (26)

Thu 6 Mar: Mark 11:20-33

Now we come into the temple and sit before Jesus that he might teach us. Before entering the Lord Jesus displays his authority over the fig-tree and then has his authority challenged by the temple authorities. If we refuse to know Jesus as he makes himself known to us we will never know him or learn by what authority he does these things.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I confess that I seek to abuse your authority to control and manage you even as I try to worship you as my God. Forgive my sin and humble me before your glory.
