40 days with Mark andJesus (24)

Tue 4 Mar: Mark 10:32-52

A third prediction by Jesus of his death and resurrection; another misunderstanding from his disciples. The path of discipleship is not about getting the good seats in the Kingdom but about humbly receiving the salvation won for us by Christ our Lord. Do we not see this in the response of Bartimaeus to his healing “Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.”

Prayer: ‘Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to your cross I cling.’ Lord Jesus, make these words my prayer today.
