Striking the Mark
These Jewish leaders heard this story that Jesus told. They
knew that this story was about them. So they wanted to find a
way to arrest Jesus. But they were afraid of the people. So
the Jewish leaders left Jesus and went away.
-- Mark 12:12 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Sadly, rather than repenting when they heard Jesus' story, the leaders
resolved more intently to kill Jesus. Their problem, however, was that
Jesus was incredibly well liked among the people. So they left Jesus
and went away. How sad! Salvation, redemption, love, grace, and power
were within their grasp and they turned away. Unfortunately many people
do the same thing today.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
God, my Abba Father, please help me to never leave Jesus. Please help
me to never move away from him because I don't want to change my
lifestyle, my basic beliefs, or my comforts to follow him. Give me a
heart that seeks after you and your truth no matter the costs. In
Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
