Day 8 ~ Mark 12-16

Day #8: Mark 12-16


This section of scripture and time in Jesus' life should be one of the more familiar passages for Christians. The moments leading up to Jesus' arrest, crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection. However, while listening today what stood out the most is that Mark 12 starts off with humans trying to trick Jesus in order to arrest him. Although we might not be trying to purposely deceive Jesus, how often do we try to fool Jesus by not whole heartedly obeying his commands? Is there a time where you didn't go to church because ______________, tithe your full 10% because ___________, serve in a ministry because ___________, not share the word with ___________ because ____________? The list could go on and on. Jesus knew of our short comings and yet still died for us. We should pray to God and ask him to reveal to us where we are failing him and to have the strength to make the necessary changes in our lives and obey his commands.
