WHEN GOD IS WORKING BUT SILENT
Look Closely: We have been reading Mark’s gospel hanging on every word of Jesus. Our primary focus has been to try to understand the many profound and powerful words of Christ. But in today’s passage the words of Jesus will comprise two short sentences. Today, we are compelled to interpret the meaning of His silence.
-Why so few words? Why was Jesus silent?
-The actions of Jesus were dictated by spiritual eyes. What did His spiritual eyes see?
-What was the goal of those who hated Jesus? What was the goal of Jesus?
Challenge: What is the example of Jesus compelling you to do? (Consider these possible words of action: change in outlook, emulation, or praise)
Pause to Pray: My Jesus, You were silent and did not defend Yourself. You held back Your wisdom and self-justification. You would not have been wrong to speak up, but You would not have fulfilled the will of Your Father - the way of forgiveness that I have received. Thank You. Help me to see this world and my situations as You see them. Help me to seek Your purposes and not my own benefit in every moment of every day. Amen.
