Posting today at 5 Minutes for Faith:
I’ve been spending time in the Gospel of Mark lately, keeping pace with Jesus’ march to the cross as our days press on toward Easter. One of the things that has stood out to me on this reading is the disciples’ failure. We see it throughout the gospels, but Mark accentuates the disciples’ shortcomings.
In Mark, the disciples consistently fail to grasp Jesus’ mission as the one who will suffer for our sins. They have moments of insight, but the recurrent theme is of their failure.
The disciples failed. But God remained faithful.
The good news is that my failure does not annul God’s faithfulness.
Come read the rest and join the conversation at 5 Minutes for Faith.
