Listen "Close Yet Far - Mark 12:34"

Episode Synopsis

Today, let us explore the paradox that exists in our spiritual journey – the concept of being close yet far. As we delve into the pages of Scripture, we find instances where proximity does not always guarantee intimacy with God. In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter a story that epitomizes this paradox. Jesus encounters a scribe who approaches Him with a sincere question about the greatest commandment. Jesus commends his understanding, saying, "You are not far from the kingdom of God" (Mark 12:34).
