Reflection On Mark 3: 20-21
An exclamation ‘He is gone mad!’
speaks on the importance of works of Jesus done for the people of times. Who is
out of mind? Jesus or those who said that He is out of mind?
It is better not to produce just
an answer instead produce answer with reasonable tags for the cause. The people
of times from the birth of Jesus until His death were actually absent-minded.
When Jesus was born they had sudden joy of the New King born thinking an
authoritative Ruler would come. Instead their thoughts could be spiritual so at
least they would grow up in faith following ways of Jesus. Still even at Jesus’
public ministry people lived just the same life of misery though Jesus lived
among them made no difference. When they required a hand of help, remembered
Jesus to cure them and it was just a moment of time it took place and was
forgetful at the next moment. That is why they said, ‘He is gone mad!’ whatever
Jesus did for them was just a classical show.
Those who criticized Jesus did
not even think of normal life different from that which they were living – a
life based on the traditions of old. Here Jesus brought many number of changes
in the Jewish society by breaking laws of the law made by Pharisees for they
added up their own laws. Jesus became the friend of tax collectors and sinners.
He ate with those were segregated in the society, associated Himself with
people of bad reputation; by means totally changed old things to the new. Jesus
did something greater that is gift of love and He did it out of His love. Therefore
He shows the greatest love possible with the giving of His own life- blood. It
was a unique gift to us and we can never doubt the love of God for his people.
Jesus dared Himself to be different and worked miracles in authority;
ultimately the result was: people wrongly interpreted Him as ‘Out of mind.’
Questions to
ponder:
How do you
interpret Jesus was ‘Out of mind’?
Does your
thoughts provocative to others?
How do you respect your neighbor in the eyes of Jesus?
