Series – “Gospel of Mark: Jesus, the Unexpected –part 11” #11 – “Life Interrupted” Mark 5:21-43
Shocking those who knew Him, offending those who thought they did, Jesus repeatedly proved that His “ways are not our ways”. In Mark 5 we find Jesus healing as he often did, but also dealing with an interruption which surprises us, but doesn’t seem to bother Him. Interruptions come in all shapes and sizes, and how they affect us may differ from person to person. Today, in the midst of our response to the coronavirus pandemic, we all find our life interrupted. So much of what made up our “normal” two weeks ago seems to have become a distant memory. How can we discover a little more of the touch of Jesus in the midst of this time of interruption?

“The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength” Nehemiah 8:10
(Message) Acts 16:16‐24
“10Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
“Paul and Silas in Prison”
16Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. 17She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God who are telling you the way to be saved.” 18She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her.f
19When her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to face the authorities. 20They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar 21by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.” 22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods.m 23After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.”

Mark 6:30‐44

It is a reminder that He works best when the challenges we face are greater than the resources we have to meet them.
