26/2 - Journey to the Cross - Mark 3:1-12

Reflections from today :)

Mark 3 1-12

Reflections

1.When we step into what God calls us into what he calls us, we will naturally face opposition. Jesus immediately faced opposition in these verses. What does the Bible say about us facing opposition?

2.He ordered the unclean spirits not to expose him for being the Son of God. It shows his authority

3.Mark 3:2 – the pharisees were looking for a reason to lock Jesus up. Why might that be? What was Jesus’ response? How do we handle anger in times of opposition?

4.Does Jesus tell the impure spirits not to tell others about him because they are telling the truth at this moment they might lie and deceive the people?

5.The spirits saw the truth about Jesus, but the people in v 2 didn’t. How can we be more aware of God’s presence and the truth about Jesus?

6.Mark 3 v 5. Are there times when we have ignored the God’s calling?

7.Jesus says to the man stand in front of everyone, he knows the Pharisees plots and still does it. Did Jesus at this point in his ministry know he was going to the cross to die? Would we be bolder if we better understood the importance of eternity?

8.The Pharisees were responding to their anger with violence and plotting to kill Jesus, Jesus responds to his anger with compassion to heal the man. How do we respond when angry, do we first show compassion to others?
