Evening: Psalms 36, 39; Mark 3:19b-35
The recognition Jesus enjoys among the people causes his opponents to use ugly rhetoric to slander him. (This is a common political strategy.) But Jesus turns the tables on them, demonstrating instead that he is One who is strong enough not to be bound or inhibited by their falsehoods. On the contrary, because they ridicule Jesus’s healing power, they put the possibility of forgiveness and freedom beyond their own reach. Demonise no-one ... you may be cutting off your nose to spite your face.
