Mark 2:23-28

A very happy Tuesday to you and I certainly hope you remembered St Martin Luther King Jr yesterday. Yes he will never be a saint, it costs too much but in my eyes this martyr is with God sitting next to St Mandela. Their contributions to and for people of color will not go unnoticed.

In today’s gospel passage the Pharisees again have a problem with the disciples of Jesus. Yesterday the issue was that these men of Jesus had too much of a good time. They ate and drunk while the disciples of John fasted. Today it is something else, they are picking corn as they walk along and that is an issue.

Sometimes when people are picking stupid fights with you, it never really about what they are complaining about. It’s about who you walk with…Jesus. You are just the east target. Remember we fight not flesh and blood but principalities of darkness. Let your good works do the fighting, let them talk. They really want to get to the one you walk with.
