Mark 3 1 Another time he went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Stand up in front of everyone.”

4 Then Jesus asked them, “Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they remained silent.

5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

 

It is amazing to me how men of faith watched Jesus—looking for a reason to accuse.  Had they truly surrendered their lives to God? In my moments of weakness, I have to ask myself the same question…..

 

Jesus wants to move in 2020.

He wants to do something amazing for all people, in all places, of all colors.

 

He wants to bring us to freedom.

 

God is well aware of our abilities to compartmentalize our lives.

 

He knows that we might be incredibly strong and faithful in one area of our lives while being broken, lost, and blind in another.  And He loves us anyway.

 

Where are you?

 

Is God truly winning?

 

In the kingdom of God, most things seem backwards.

 

In the kingdom, if you want to conquer, you must surrender.

 

That’s right….SURRENDER.

 

And He showed us.

 

At the cross, He SURRENDERED His life that we might see how it looks.

 

So my word to you today is to Let Go.
