In Mark 10, Jesus encounters a series of people all gripping something — their legal cleverness, their wealth, their ambition, their idea of what following Jesus is supposed to get them. And in scene after scene, he points to the same truth: the kingdom of God can't be grasped. It can only be received. We look at Jesus' teaching on marriage and divorce with pastoral honesty, the rich man who walked away sad, James and John asking for the best seats — and then Bartimaeus, a blind beggar with nothing, who turns out to see Jesus more clearly than anyone. A talk about open hands, and what it costs to truly follow.
