Drawn OutIn both of these stories in Mark 10, Jesus asks the same question: "What do you want me to do for you?" To one request his answer is no, to the other, his answer is yes, and yet in both cases, his response is actually for their good. What do you want from Jesus today? Whether his answer is yes or no, you can trust him because he came not to be served, but to give his life to provide what we truly need, a gift bigger than any we could ask for.
What can you do to inherit eternal life? What can you pay to enter the Kingdom of God? Jesus provides an uncomfortable answer to these questions.
In Mark 5 Jesus responds to the needs of two very different people. In both situations, Jesus' response teaches us a lot about the kind of love God has for us, encouraging us to dare to ask, and reach for his grace, as we trust him for the ultimate gift of a life restored in him, now and forever.
Who are the kinds of people Jesus uses to advance his Kingdom? The answer might surprise you.
Jesus often taught with parables that could be confusing to understand for his listeners. Are we any better at listening and understanding today? What's the secret?
In this series of stories from Mark 2 Jesus' reactions are surprising, sometimes even the opposite of what the Pharisees expect. What preconceived notions do you need to let go of, in order to make space for Jesus to work in surprising new ways in your life?
The first words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark are about the Kingdom of God coming near. How are those words true for you today?
As we learn from the example of Jesus in Mark 1, we pray that God's will would also be done in us, in the ministry of this new year as we follow him.
