Mark 3:7-22, February 25
Mark 3:7-22, February 25
Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath, and instead of celebrating, people argue about rules. In Mark 3, we see how easy it is to miss what God is doing when we’re focused on being correct instead of being compassionate. Jesus reminds us that God’s law was always meant to bring life, not to restrict it. He chooses to heal, even when it brings criticism. This passage invites us to look at our own hearts. Are we open to God’s work, even when it challenges our habits or expectations? Following Jesus often means choosing love first.
