Jesus' enemies were full of fear and anger. They were so sure of what the Messiah would look like and afraid of how this trouble maker Jesus would upset the equilibrium. What do I miss because "I know" and am sure. The man with the shriveled hand - I wonder what he was doing in the synagogue? Jesus calls him out of his hiding place and asks him to stand in front of everyone. Show them your deformed hand. If it had been me would I have had the courage to stand in front? Would I have turned and run from this one who had found me?? What was it about Jesus that people responded to him with either complete trust or great fear?
Mark 6: day 2: Jesus gave the disciples what they needed - authority over evil spirits not stuff, clothes, food, packed bags. Their message was the same - repent. They did just what they had seen Jesus doing and healed many sick people. What am I doing that is like Jesus?
