Breaking the Word

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK  6: 30-34

 

The disciples come back after their ministry of preaching and working the kingdom. They cane and narrated to Jesus all what they had done.  Jesus was not showing any interest in their narration. He wanted them to be alone and rest a while. He was not interested in the events of the past. He wanted them to rest so that they could be ready for the future events. They have to learn much more from the feeding of the five thousand and the walking on the water.

 

Also Jesus wanted them to know that they people were interested in his activities. Jesus’ preaching and doing miracles attracted the crowd so much they were clinging to his words and they wanted to touch him or be touched by him. This was the reason why they ran ahead of him to the other side of the river and waited for him. Missionary should create interest in the people.

GOSPEL  READING:  MARK 6:14-29

 

This story presents some interesting beliefs of the people of the time of Jesus. They are: they believed in the resurrection; they believed in the miraculous power of the risen people; they believed in the return of Elijah; they believed in the arrival of a great prophet. All these beliefs and many more like these made up the culture of the people and some these beliefs also formed part of the religion.

 

But their way of life often did not reflect these beliefs. Herod is an example for this. He thought that he could live his moral life as he wished or as it pleased him. He refused to listen to persons who revealed the mind of God to him. He was ready to annihilate the person who objected to his personal way of life which went against the society and social practices and moral principles. Whatever pleased him was rewarded that what was right and just. He was ready to sacrifice anything for the sack of his pleasure.
