Mark 2

Scripture: Mark chapter 2

Observation: The scribes and Pharisees were watching Jesus' every move and questioning all He did or didn't do. They complained because He spoke to sinners, they questioned why He wasn't fasting, and they accused Him of doing what was unlawful on the Sabbath. Jesus always had an answer for them, but they continued their nitpicking.

Application: There will always be people who refuse to accept the Gospel, and instead try to tear it down by picking it apart. Jesus didn't let these negative people stop His mission; neither can I.

Prayer: Father, the only one I need to please is You. There will always be people who find fault in me, in Christians, in the church and in my faith. Don't allow those negative remarks to bring me down. Instead Lord, give me the words to answer them wisely, then the strength to walk away, praising You. Let me be a blessing to those who are watching me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
