Devotion:
Read Mark 3:1-6.
“Help me!” What would you do if you heard those two words? Most of us would turn to see how, where, and what the person needed and do whatever it took to help. Sometimes people say those words in different ways, especially within the walls of the church. However, the response should be the same. The reason is that Jesus’ “good news” includes an assurance that people (and their needs) are more important than religious rules.
In this passage, the religious leaders had lost their vision of why they were leaders. It wasn’t about keeping the rules or gaining position or power. They were to point people to God. The Pharisees felt threatened by Jesus and were not willing to see him as Messiah.
Personal Worship Option:
How’s your vision? Reflect on the last 24 hours. Did you see people as God does or through the lens of judgment? Share the “good news” with someone today.
