Mark 11, First, Jesus was on His way to spill his blood for us from the many holes that would be pierced in His flesh.  Holes in His head, holes in His hands, feet, side and back.  He is worthy to be praised continuously.

Secondly, Jesus was on His way to cleanse the temple of Herod.  Today we are the temple.  He kicked over benches and tables on which activities not meant for the temple were being conducted. 

Today Jesus comes into our lives.  If we are conducting activities not meant for His temple, once again He will cleanse the temple with means that may surprise us as much as the money changers were surprised in Herod's temple in Jesus day.

It's inevitable that you will emotionally, mentally or bodily experience mocking, spitting and flogging.  Death is also in the cards.   Opposition from others often leads to burnout.  How do we survive mistreatment from opposition?  Many of the days of Jesus were dark, troubling and frustrating days. 

In Mark 10:32-50 we go on a little journey from north of Jericho south towards Jerusalem.  Join us.

Jesus said He was one with His Father and the mighty works were the proof. 

He calls us to be one with Him and the Father and exhibit the same proof of this intimate relationship.
