Sabbath Teaching
Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. On the Sabbath day
Jesus went into the synagogue and taught the people. The
people there were amazed at Jesus' teaching. Jesus did not
teach like their teachers of the law. Jesus taught like a
person that had authority (power).
-- Mark 1:21-22 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus went to church! Well, not exactly church as we know it, but he
did go to the assembly of God's people at the synagogue. Weren't there
hypocrites, sinners, and worse in those meetings? Yes! But Jesus went
to the synagogue because these people were searching for God, despite
their failures and their problems. He used his visits as opportunities
to teach the people. They recognized his authority. Do we? Are we
responding to Jesus' words of comfort, challenge, and conviction?
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God and righteous Father, thank you for Jesus' example of going to
meet with your people and blessing them with your truth. As I go to the
assembly of folks who honor your name and praise Jesus for his
sacrifice, I pray that you will still have Jesus' will and teaching be
heard. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
