Mark 1:29-39 Learning how to discern God's Will in our lives

Send us Fan MailThe disciples find Jesus praying.  Jesus had got up before dawn to find time and a place to pray.  The first thing Jesus says is "let us go to the nearby villages".  It may have been tempting for Jesus to stay.  He was successful, the people responded well and people were being healed.  It looked like Jesus had a very successful day.  It would make perfect sense to stay.   While there were good reasons to stay; Jesus knows that part of his ministry is to preach the Word of God to the whole area not just one community.  This Gospel highlights the need to be focused and not to be distracted from our mission’s central purpose.Complete our 1 Minute Survey
