Reflection on the WORD
Hindrances – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus’ relatives “took charge” of Him and prevented the crowds from hearingHis Good News of Salvation and receiving His healing miracles. Do we experience our family, friends and loved ones “preventing” and discouraging us from deepening our faith, hope and love for Jesus?
Mark 3:20-21
Jesus went home, and such a crowd collected that they could not even have a meal. When his relations heard of this, they set out to take charge of him; they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’
Today's Pointers on God's Word
As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention?
- •Have I ever been accused of ‘being out of my mind’ for doing what is true and good for God? What was my reaction?
- •Am I being challenged today to undergo pain and sacrifice by standing up for someone who has been unjustly treated or for something that is true and good?
- •What loss do I fear most in my life? What do I tell God about this fear? What is God’s response?
