Gospel
Mark 3:7-12
He warned them not to make him known as the Son of God
Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lakeside, and great crowds from Galilee followed him. From Judaea, Jerusalem, Idumaea, Transjordania and the region of Tyre and Sidon, great numbers who had heard of all he was doing came to him. And he asked his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, to keep him from being crushed. For he had cured so many that all who were afflicted in any way were crowding forward to touch him. And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, would fall down before him and shout, ‘You are the Son of God!’ But he warned them strongly not to make him known.
Reflection
Why do you think people were following Christ? There are basically 3 groups of people.The first group are those who are sick or have other needs and believe only Christ can solve it. The second group are those looking for sensation. They are full of fire but when troubles come they walk away. The final group are those with faith and believe. Which group do you belong?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus only you can bring us out of darkness. May we continue to follow you like your disciples because of faith.
Amen
