Week 3, Day 1
January 17, 2022 Scriptures: Mark 11 Faith, Prayer and Forgiveness. Jesus has turned towards Jerusalem. When comparing with the other Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life, it is startling how quickly it is that Mark gets Jesus on his way to Jerusalem and the cross. In the waning days of his ministry, Jesus is deeply concerned about the faith of his disciples. The way that they express faith in God is through prayer and forgiveness. Mark 11:22-26 “Have faith in God.” Then go about expressing it in prayer and trust in God. And while we are at it, forgive. The simplicity of this is a helpful reminder to me today, as I consider how I might follow Christ. The faith of a Christian is mostly made up of prayer and forgiveness. We are a people who pray for the moving of mountains. We also are a people who forgive sins. Who do I need to forgive? What grudges am I holding? Where do I need reconciliation? Prayer and forgiveness.
