This week we have looked at snippets of interchange with Jesus as reported by Mark, the man who traveled with the apostle Luke. Jesus seems to have changed his style as he now begins to head south to Jerusalem and the approaching cross. He is asked questions and he chooses these exchanges to teach his followers and opponents. God’s kingdom is not about who’s greatest or least but being childlike, welcoming. God’s kingdom is not about being in the right group but about faith. God’s kingdom pulls people of all different kinds together and seeks to include all.
My daughter’s favorite song in high school was “Make Me a Servant.” It reminds me of her and of the challenges of Lent this week. Blessings.
