Mark 1
Inspired thots
Reading Mark is like speed reading; the events are recorded in a 'fast' speed manner citing main events than other gospels.
From this 'fast' pace chapter, the prevailing thought is how FOCUSED JESUS is.
With a simple intro on John the Baptist who prepared the way for Jesus, Jesus' made a grand entrance in this chapter with His baptism and the approval from the Heavenly Father. That sets the mood and focus.
Jesus went about His mission with the loving approval of His Heavenly Father.
Jesus' mission: proclaim the GOOD NEWS - the kingdom of God is near! Repent and Believe!
Jesus called His disciples and they followed Him immediately. There must be a divine revelation or prompting for them to drop all they were doing or have to follow Jesus immediately. Indeed, God has prepared those of His own for His purpose.
Crowds were drawn to Jesus' teaching and miracles, recognizing His authority but not embracing Him as THE authority. How sad when they are not on the Right Focus.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
