We continued in our journey through Mark with Pastor Phil last Sunday.
Chapter 3 leads us into Jesus' selecting of the Twelve, but we focused on a broader implication of His choosing.
[Jesus] went up on the mountain and called to Him those whom he desired, and they came to him. And he appointed [them]...so that they might be with him and he might send them out... - Mark 3:13-14
We centered in on the truth that JESUS WANTS YOU. The story of the entire Gospel of Mark is that He DESIRED us...and that He wanted us to be WITH Him! That's why He went to the cross and rose again on our behalf!
If you think you aren't good enough for Jesus to actually want you, you must look again at this passage, for Jesus loved and desired a man that would eventually betray him to be murdered- Judas Iscariot.
