Just Walk Away
When the Pharisees heard the Jesus had arrived, they came and started to argue with Him. Testing Him, demanding that He show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove His authority.
Mark 8:11
My Takeaways
Something Old
Testing and argument come after a big work for the Lord.
Jesus had just healed, cast out demons, and fed thousands.
How to respond to a Pharisee and a Sadducee:
- Take a deep breath
- Don’t engage
- Walk away
Something New
Mark 7:33
Jesus led the man away from the crowd. Interesting.
This is the first record of Jesus healing the deaf without anything but a touch or a word. I wonder why He spat on his fingers. Curious.
Something to Do
Be prayed up and ready for the Pharisees.
Something to do
Have faith and trust Jesus’s healing power.
Wendy! This lesson was so very practical. Haven’t we all been in a “Pharisee & Sadducee” situation???? I think I may need to write the response, “take a deep breath; don’t engage; walk away”” on an index card and keep it with me at all times? Thanks Wendy…..
