Text: Mark 1-2, Mark 4, and others.
Jesus started off His ministry in the area around the Sea of Galilee. He often held meetings in Capernaum and other towns nearby. Soon, He was drawing massive crowds thanks to word of mouth. When people are getting healed, set free from bondages, and raised from the dead, you know they'll talk.
Gradually, however, the tide begins to turn. The Pharisees criticize him for healing on the Sabbath and not adhering to their pet doctrines. The people, many of whom were healed or who knew someone who was healed, began to question. Instead of being thankful, many walked away from Him.
Today, many experience forgiveness of their sins, see prayers answered, and then run into a situation they can't understand or explain. They prayed for their aunt, but she died. They forget all God's blessings and focus on that incident. We don't know all there is to know about God. When things happen we don't understand, that don't fit into our small theological mindset, we need to remain thankful for all He's done in our lives and put our questions on the back burner.
