Mark 12:13-17. Jesus’s relationship with the governing authorities was fraught with tension. For much of his ministry, the powers that be were plotting against him, looking for excuses to arrest him. In the midst of all that, Jesus stayed focused on his own mission regardless of the consequences. He was faithful to God first, and Rome second, which in and of itself was revolutionary.
Pastor's Note
Have you ever felt like this?
by Rev. Andy Blacksher, Executive Pastor Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two other disciples were together. Simon Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” They said, “We’ll go with you.” They set out in a boat, but throughout the night they caught nothing.
