Evening: Psalms 114, 115; Mark 3:7-19
It seems contradictory that Jesus tells people not to make him known, yet he wants them to proclaim his ‘message’ of reconciliation and healing. Jesus already has considerable informal power. Maybe he is saying, “It’s not about me.” Or perhaps, for now, he is cautious about what people say about him … When you teach healing and reconciliation, it may be good news for some, but it may disturb others who don’t want to admit that anything is broken. Living with integrity in a broken world is hard. Living with integrity if you also wield power is harder still.
