Day
10: Mark 3:7-12
Crowds Follow Jesus
Crowds Follow Jesus
Jesus had become a popular person drawing crowds
from up to 70 miles away which was at least 3 days journey. It was news of his
healing power that drew them to listen to him. Israel was not a primitive
nation and medicine was widely practised (Luke, who wrote Luke’s gospel, was a
medical doctor). Medicine offers treatment but only the body and its Creator
can bring healing.
Was Jesus’ healing just a gimmick to draw
crowds or did it have a real purpose?
What has God spoken to you about through
this reading today?
