Reading from The Gospel According Mark 3:7-19(NLT) ~Crowds Follow Jesus, Jesus Chooses the Twelve Apostles~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Jesus’ presence was getting a lot of attention and the crowds were growing. Jesus not allowing the demons to declare His identity. The rebellious spirit doesn’t get to spread the good news. The desperation of the people and the recognition that it only took a touch to get healing. The wisdom and situational awareness of Jesus.
