In this chapter, Jesus is questioned about who he eats with, why he doesn't fast, and why he is picking grain on the Sabbath. Yet all of these stories are a connected theme of who Jesus is and why he came. He is the Son of God who forgives sins, the good doctor who heals the sinner, he is not a person to plug into an old system but the bringer of all things new. Jesus is truly remarkable. Yet the Pharisees only see trouble. How do you think of Jesus?
Jesus and the Pharisees square off in a round of questions and answers. The Sabbath becomes one of the main topics in this chapter and the next.
This is a walk through the first chapter of Mark. In this episode, I introduce some of the main themes and highlights of the chapter.
