Morning: Psalm 145; Sirach 2:1-11; Acts 12:25-13:3
One
companion of Barnabas and Paul on their missionary journeys around the
Mediterranean was Mark, the Gospel writer, whose day it is today.
‘Gospel’, for Mark, means ‘truth’. Likely, he was inspired by Paul to
persist with the truth; Paul said people can be gullible. We go after
‘teachers’ who tell us what we want to hear. Many say the Gospels are
‘myths’. For Paul and Mark, Jesus’s opponents were the real purveyors of
myths that sought to discredit him. People must choose whether to trust
the Gospel or the myths. To help them, Paul said: Keep speaking the
truth.
