Notes from Mark

Notes from Mark

As believers we remember the events of Holy Week, Jesus’ last week on earth. I personally read through each day’s events and try to imagine what Jesus must have been thinking. This year it struck me that as His focus must have been on the cross and the price He would pay, it was constantly being pulled away. There was so much to do and say and so little time left. The money changers in the temple – cleaned out. The Pharisees and Saduccees trying to provoke and catch Him in a lie, His own disciple betraying Him. It must have seemed a constant barrage against Him. In a very small way it is with us. Our focus is to be on Christ and yet there are “things” that distract us. Things we have to answer or attend to. Yet they distract. Pray that your heart will be turned wholly and fully to Christ and nothing will hinder you from doing what God wants you to do.

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you John 15:10-12.
