"I came for sinners"........Jesus

Read Mark Chapter 2

Once again we looked at the "immediately"s. Mark must have been impressed with Jesus' ability to do things quickly. From verse 13, Dad pointed out how remarkable it is that Jesus was willing to teach the multitudes. The make-up of the crowd was definitely not all intellectuals. Jesus cared about the common man, whom most other teachers probably did not take time for.

The second half of the chapter speaks of the new wine being put into old wineskins. It doesn't work. We talked about the new wine of salvation and the old wineskin of the law.

And then the chapter ends with Jesus' disciples plucking grain on the sabbath. The Pharisees were always looking for a way to judge others. They didn't seem to discern between what was petty and what was important. Do we? Do I?
