Mark 5-8

Slowly through the Gospels on a Saturday. Always more to read, more to study, more to consume, but it's ok to go slowly. Each word in the Gospels seems weightier, more meaningful somehow. It's not of course, either print all the words in red or none of them, but that's how if feels. This whole book is lousy with meaning. 

We're left at the end of chapter 8 asking how not to be ashamed of Jesus. perhaps the same question as Hebrews 10 gives us, how to live in such a way that the Lord Jesus is not ashamed of us. Carry your cross, live by faith in His Word, wean your heart off lesser gods. Remember, if you approach in humility and faith, if you bare your cross all the way to the Lord, you'll always get more than you were banking on. The woman with the issue of blood wanted a heal and run and got a relationship with Jesus. Jairus wanted a healing and got a resurrection. Lord show your resurrecting, healing, demon binding power in this day.
