Mark 8

Posted on Feb 25, 2016 in Reading Through the New Testament |

When we read that Jesus fed 4,000 people from a few loaves, it almost get’s lost in the myriad of other miracles. But there are some powerful lessons that we can learn from this encounter.

Ok, some harsh stuff is going on here. I don’t like the idea of casting out someone because they happen to be contagious, but the reality of the situation is, something like leprosy left unchecked, could bring harm to the whole community.

“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight”. Almost every one has heard and understands this old saying. Could it really be just that easy to know if Jesus is really God?

So you might be thinking in today’s reading there is a lot of counting going on. Well, remember we are reading “numbers”. A couple of things stood out for me in today’s reading, 1. Taking a census and 2. The responsibilities assigned to carry the tent and all its belongings.

It used to hurt my feelings when I read this passage and heard Jesus refer to me (a Gentile) as a dog. But I have since changed my perspective.

Well, here we are the beginning of a new book of the bible. Lots of talk about counting people and organizing the way the “camp” would move. There is a whole lot of logistics going on here. I was trying to wrap my head around the number of people who would be traveling together.

One thing that really stood out for me in today’s reading was how many times God reminds us that He is God Alone. We must never look to any other God. That is why it is so important for us to not try to meld all the gods of this world into saying we are all worshipping the same god.

Don’t let your children read this passage! It’s biblical proof that you don’t have to wash your hands before you eat!

We begin our reading today looking at two very powerful and significant symbols of Christianity. The lamp (light) and the bread. These are both part of the “I Am” statements of Jesus. He said, I am the Light of the World (John 8:12) and I am the Bread of Life (John 6).

(Saturday)

In today’s reading we read about many of the festivals that God told the Israelites to observe. Often we think of all these rules, regulations and commands as oppressing or difficult to have to do, but I don’t think God ever intended that following Him would be hard or unattainable.
