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
