#Mark 1

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

Jesus needed accommodations too

Again, Jesus began to teach beside the lake. Such a massive crowd gathered that he climbed into a boat there on the lake. He sat in the boat while the whole crowd was nearby on the shore. - Mark 4:1

The Gospels — particularly Mark — frequently show Jesus to be sensitive to touch.

As an Autistic person for whom physical contact can be quite literally painful, I am encouraged by how, when crowds press in — teeming with reaching hands, loud with pleas for healing — Jesus doesn’t give in to the pressure to sacrifice his own needs for theirs; he finds ways to honor both.

At extreme moments, that looks like leaving the crowd behind entirely (e.g. Matthew 14:13). More often, Jesus prioritizes the people’s needs all day, then tends to himself in night’s stillness (e.g. Mark 1:35).

Other times, like here, he finds creative ways to serve the crowds and himself at the same time!

With the boat as an accommodation, the shoreline as a boundary, Jesus can teach all day without being exhausted — and even has energy left over for deeper conversation with his closest friends.

How can the knowledge that, in Jesus, God experienced the need for boundaries and accommodations empower you to honor your own unique needs? What creative solutions can you think up to balance your needs and communal ones?

SON OF MAN | INTO THE ABYSS (Mk.1:1-11)

Here’s my longer sermon notes from this morning’s Metro Christian Centre service (dated 1st September 2024), pressing play on a new series flicking through some of the epic scenes of Mark’s gospel. You can also catch up with this via MCC’s YouTube channel (just give us time to get the video uploaded). ‘He is baptized by John that He might cleanse him who was defiled, that He might bring the…

The Healing Power of a Touch: A Devotional

Luke 5: 12-15 While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him. Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show…
