Mark 3:2 So they watched Him closely, ... so that they might accuse Him.
Never has a man been more scrutinized than Jesus Christ. The scribes watched carefully to find fault in this man that they might accuse Him. There are many today who are still looking to accuse Jesus. Watching Jesus is amazing, we see a wonderful example of what man can be with the Power and Presence of God living in him. However, Jesus can only be understood through the eyes of the believer, one who has personal knowledge in Him through redemption.
The world is very critical of good done in the name of God, good done in the name of personal goodness or in something that edifies man seems all too acceptable. Why would anyone want to challenge the works of the Lord, it is because He stands in opposition to anything that glorifies the flesh. Jesus reminds us that the works of the flesh are rebellion against God, and "rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft!" 1 Samuel 15:23
Heavenly Father thank you for the gift of your Son and thank you that through Him we have Eternal life. You are God and there is no other name given under heaven that men may be saved. Help us to look to Jesus for every Grace and to be thankful for Your provisions in this life.
