Listen "647 Mercy Over Rules — Mark 2:18–3:6"
Episode Synopsis
Tuesday, November 25th: Episode 647 explores Mark 2:18–3:6, where Jesus confronts misunderstandings about fasting, Sabbath traditions, and the meaning of true spirituality. Jesus explains that His presence changes the spiritual season, just as new wine cannot fit into old wineskins. He reminds His hearers that the Sabbath was created for human flourishing rather than religious burden. In the synagogue, Jesus heals a man with a shriveled hand, revealing the hardness of the Pharisees’ hearts and their preference for rules over compassion. The episode highlights Jesus’ authority, His priority of mercy, and His determination to restore people even when it provokes opposition. Listeners are invited to examine places where they may cling to old patterns and to embrace the new life Jesus brings.Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!
