Daily Bible Reading — January 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Discipleship

DAY 14 OF 31

January 14

Introduction

Mark 3:20–35: Members of Jesus’s family become concerned about him, and certain religious leaders claim that Jesus is possessed by a demon. When Jesus’s family asks to see him, he defines family in a way that extends beyond blood relations.

Today’s Key Verse: Mark 3:35

[Jesus said]: “Whoever does what God wants is my brother, my sister, my mother.”

Reflect

How does Jesus respond to those who claim he is possessed by a demon? What are your thoughts concerning Jesus’s response to his family (verses 34–35)? According to Jesus, what is required to be a member of his family?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you welcome all who seek to follow you. I seek to do your will. Thank you for inviting me to be part of your family in the Kingdom of God. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Mark 5:1–20: Jesus heals a man with evil spirits.
