Hope Thieves
I am loving my Bible reading lately. I have been reading through the Gospel of Mark and taking my time to digest each moment. Yesterday I shared this story with our leadership team at the church.
In Mark 5:36 we find Jesus on a healing spree and people were asking for help at every step. One of those asking for the attention of Jesus was a man named Jairus. He was hoping for Jesus to come and heal his daughter. But before he could get the attention of Jesus, someone came and told him it was too late, his daughter had died.
I love what is recorded about Jesus’ response…”ignoring what they said”…he continued to press forward on his mission of hope.
Always in leadership there will be those who will criticize and doubt. And it is easy to get distracted and lose hope in the midst of the hope thieves. But Jesus gives us a great picture of continuing to press forward and ignoring what they said, encouraging others to believe.
“on a healing spree”…….excellent.
good post man.
Love it. Jesus models for us a bold unwavering faith and sense of Gods power. I was really impacted by this passage in Leadership Team. Thanks for your bold unwavering faith and belief that God has a vision for NBC.
Excellent thoughts Shane-you make me think outside the box-a necessary thing to do if we are going to be real.
