This week, we will look at Mark 2:1-12 and two groups of people. The first group demonstrates faith and the second does not. Yet what we’ll find is that all are being invited to trust Jesus and take him at his word. Up to this point in the Gospel of Mark, everyone has enjoyed Jesus, but here we will find three things: a claim, a conflict, and a confirmation that will ultimately change the trajectory of Jesus' life and, in turn, ours.
