TUESDAY 1
Mark 1:14-28
Christ Jesus, we rejoice in You! We
rejoice that You came among us and acted with astonishing authority even though
You were not authorized or acknowledged by either political or religious
leaders.
You called disciples to You, and they came without hesitation. You
instructed your audiences in the word of God, and as they heard You, they
recognized an authority in which word and action were fully congruent. You
spoke release to those who were in the grips of oppressive spirits and
liberated them.
We are often too jaded to be astonished by You. But do a new work within
us. Enable us to recognize that your authority is authorized and affirmed by
God. Enable us to follow, without hesitation, wherever You may lead us. Most of
all, enable us to recognize that in You, the reign of God has come near and now
impinges upon every dimension of our lives, calling us to newness that we could
not generate on our own. Amen.
