For The People

MARCH 16, 2022
Daily Reading – Numbers 30-31 / Mark 14:1-16

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Mark 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

  If there were any group of people in the bible that we as Christians would not want to be associated with it would be those who sought to put Jesus to death. That is what the chief priests and the scribes were planning to do. However, they decided not to do it on the feast day because it might upset the people.

    I wonder how many times in our lives we do things not for the right reasons, to glorify God, but for the wrong reason, because it might upset the people. We will not sing a song, we do not raise our hand in praise, we may not befriend a person someone else does not like all because it may offend another person. 

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

 Are we any better than these Chief Priests and scribes when we live to serve people over serving God?
