Mark 6 for Monday: Home sweet home

The idea of coming home is sweet. Loved ones, cherished memories, and the hopes of making more. Some of these thoughts must have been going through the minds of those who were part of this caravan on route to Nazareth. Wow, were they in for a surprise.

And how do we handle such crushing realities to our lofty expectations?

And what miracles get left undone because of our unbelief? Their unbelief caused even Jesus to marvel..... That would seem hard to do, but they accomplished it, causing deity to marvel, and not in a good way.

Then I love how Jesus responds in Verse 7: he ramps ministry into high speed. No fear, no
feeling bad or sorry about his predicament; full speed ahead: lives to live, people to love, and an eternity changing message to deliver. The rest of the chapter he shows that the threat of death, hunger, drowning, and disease will not get in the way of this mission. God help me have this same motivation in the face of disappointment.
