Moving on to chapter 3 and the topic of hard-heartedness…

Passage: Mark 3:1-6

Complementary Reading: Ezekiel 36:22-28

Never Let Tradition Replace God’s Heart

  • Jesus Was Angry at Those More Concerned with Traditions than People
    • A group of religious leaders wanted to get Jesus (verses 1-2)
    • Jesus directly confronted their hardness of heart (verses 3-6)
  • We Too Must be Grieved by Hard-Heartedness
    • Why’s this even an issue?
    • When our traditions and preferences hinder people from coming to Jesus
    • When our traditions and preferences hinder us from taking Jesus to people
    • When our religious contentment keeps our heart from breaking for the lost in distant places
