We have never seen anything like this!

Morning: Psalm 50; Genesis 39:1-23; I Corinthians 2:14 – 3:15
Evening: Psalms 19, 46; Mark 2:1-12

The startling newness of what Jesus brings leads some to accuse him of blasphemy. Others are amazed and give thanks to God. They have never seen someone act with such authority to heal. Jesus’s healing miracles are definitely astounding and out of the ordinary. Yet people already accept that the everyday miracles of life come from the mystery we call God. So, when they see what Jesus does, they trust he, too, is deeply connected with the mystery of God. And the message spreads ... God is in our midst. We have never seen anything like this!
