Friday - 2/9 - Read John 1:1-14
Mark 2:15 mentions that Jesus would go and eat with the tax-collectors and sinners of his day. They were rejected by society. Everyone hated them and wanted nothing to do with them, that is, all but Jesus and his disciples.
What does this tell us about Jesus' heart?
Do you ever feel like the tax-collectors and sinners, abandoned and rejected by others? What does this text tell us about how Jesus feels toward you?
What is the setting for Mark 2:15?
It's in the setting of a meal that Jesus says I care for the abandoned and rejected of this world.
When you think of a meal, what do you think of besides just the eating of food?
It looks like these abandoned and rejected tax-collectors and sinners were drawn to Jesus.
Why do you think that is?
What draws you to Jesus?
If you have suffered rejection and have been abandoned do you still matter to God?
In the midst of some of the rejection you're experiencing in your life, would you pray and ask the Lord to sit down with you and be close to you and walk with you through the experience?
Read Malachi 2:10-16 in preparation for next Sunday.
