JUST GIVE ME JESUS!

Many churches only want positive confessions and testimonies of all the good things God has done.  But sometimes we need to cry from the miry clay because some needs are noisy and ugly, punctuating our programs with opportunities to let the light of Jesus shine through us.  Sometimes we try to quietly usher the need out of the sanctuary lest it disrupt our preplanned church service.  But these are needs on display—a broken heart, a broken home, a broken spirit, a broken mind—and they must not be ignored.

HEAR HIM!

The disciples had previously failed to hear Jesus speak of His coming sacrifice, but now the Father said, “Hear Him,” and then as they walked down the mountain Jesus revisited this topic, because, after all, how could they refuse to hear Him now?  Jesus told them again, “the Son of Man … must suffer many things and be treated with contempt” (v. 12b).

There are too many people who are happy to live on the margins of Christianity, but there are others who want to move closer, who want to take it to the next level in their relationship with Jesus.  There are people who are willing to deny themselves, pick up their cross every morning, and follow Jesus.  People who are not ashamed to stand up and say, “Yes!  I believe Jesus is the Son of God.  I believe He was born of the virgin, lived without sin, was crucified, buried, raised from the dead, and ascended to the Father’s right hand where He lives forever as my Savior, my Intercessor, Redeemer, and Lord.

Seeing But Not Seeing

In verses 22 through 26, Mark recorded the story of a blind man in Bethsaida, which was in a largely Gentile region, but excavations have found a significant, if not predominately Jewish population in the town.  As such, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether the blind man was Jewish or Gentile, but for purposes of illustrating a powerful point in the Gospel, it doesn’t really matter what his race was.
