Evening: Psalms 128, 139:1-17; Mark 2:23-3:6
Religious leaders denounce Jesus because he and his disciples fail to observe the traditional day of rest. He says the day of rest is for their benefit, time to care for themselves and to let go of the mistaken idea that they control things. Obedience to traditions that have lost their purpose can destroy our dignity and our peace. Our own secularized traditions - Sunday, Easter, Christmas - often fail to deliver on their original purpose ... restoration, new life, peace, justice in human relationships. What do you suppose it would take to recover our lost traditions, and their benefits?
