Emptying the Cup - Sermon on Mark 7:8
Manage episode 433892683 series 2801410
The ministry of Jesus was not all miracles, prayer, teaching His disciples, and long walks in the hill country of Galilee. Sometimes He was confronted by people who wanted to argue with Him, just so they could find something they could use against Him. But when their focus was on something trivial and unimportant, as it often was, Jesus redirected the confrontation to what really mattered. That’s the subject of today’s readings and sermon.
This summer most of the Gospel lessons are in the Gospel according to Saint Mark. These readings talk about Jesus’ teachings, His miracles, and His action-packed ministry. But each of the readings also has a “takeaway” from Jesus Himself! We’re focusing on these “red-letter” verses this summer. Here’s this week’s, from Mark chapter 7, verse 8: Jesus told the teachers of the Law “You abandon the commandments of God to follow human traditions.”
