Read the word.
Teach the word.
Preach the word.
- 1 Timothy 4:13
“And the whole city was gathered together at the door.”
–Mark 1:33 The whole city of Capernaum waited outside the door of the house where Jesus was staying. But it’s important to understand why they were there. They had come for His miracles, but Jesus’ primary ministry was His message. Jesus healed many because He is compassionate. But He doesn’t want sign seekers and miracle followers. He desires people rooted and grounded in God’s word. People who follow Him by faith—whether or not God heals them in this life, for they know that this life is not the end of the story. Growing popular for the wrong reasons was a distraction. Jesus needed to get alone with His Father. So early in the morning, He left to pray in order to do what was right, not just popular (Mark 1:35). May we have the same courage to do the same—to earnestly seek the Lord and do what is right.
