Getting caught up in a movement can be exciting. For three years, Jesus had taught, healed, hung out with sinners and gone against those in religious power. The people felt that Jesus was different - they felt he could be the one the Old Testament scriptures were talking about. The people were right, but they were wrong on how God was going to bring about this new kingdom. In one week, the people following Jesus would realize their ideas about Jesus were wrong. I'm so thankful God is not limited to our human understanding and sees and offers us what we really need instead of what we think we need . Mark 11
Jesus' teachings continue in chapter 6 and each topic he covers applies to all people of all time from any type of people group and culture. God's Word is alive and active and has taught many generations before us and will continue to teach generations long after our time on earth is done. What a privilege we have to read God's Word and apply its teachings to our lives. * Caring for the needy among your people * Praying * Forgiving * Fasting * What is really important in life * Worrying vs. Seeking God's kingdom Matthew 6
