Mark (Program #7) – The Ways the Slave-Savior Carried Out His Gospel Service (2)
Mark chapter 2 gives us the account of the Lord Jesus as the Slave-Savior carrying out His gospel service to care for the need of fallen people. It’s a marvelous chapter that shows us 5 cases or incidents, each one demonstrating this loving care in a particular way meeting the need of all manner of weak, sick and sinful people.
What a picture of the glad tidings being lived out in their midst! Of course, not all the people are eager and happy to see such a manifestation of the reality and the enjoyment of God. The scribes and the pharisees, the self-righteous and religious among the people were indignant that their own the authority and their time on the traditions were completely ignored by the Lord Jesus.
