In Sunday’s gospel lesson from Mark 1: 21-28, Jesus continues to move forward in a clear path in his ministry. With authority, he teaches and heals in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Jesus is a spiritual insider recognized by the unclean spirit as his spiritual opposite. The possessed man is liberated by Jesus’ authority as Holy One of God.
Jesus’ actions in the synagogue are really about displacing power – that of the scribes from their hypocritical teaching, and of the Roman empire who rule with violence. The power of God is of a different nature; one that opposes self-serving and destructive ways and uses the power of healing love that makes us whole.
Join us Sunday at 9:30 a.m. for more of this conversation. All For You will be leading with their contemporary music.
