Scripture: Mark 10:1 Jesus then left that place and went into
the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of
people came to him and as was his custom, he taught them.
Observation: We see that Jesus had some "customs." In Luke 4:16,
the custom mentioned is reading from the scriptures. And we know
that Judas knew where to find Jesus, because it was his custom
to pray, and the garden was probably a favorite prayer place of
Jesus. In the verse above we see that teaching was a customary
thing for Jesus to do. They called him, The Teacher. People may
have come to Jesus for many reasons, but it was his priority
that they left with better understanding. They would have
something to think about and discuss on their trip back home.
Application: What are the customary things in my life? When
people think of me, what comes first to their mind? Prayer:
Lord, with prayer and the word strong in my life, may people
know that it is customary for me to do what pleases you. Amen
Making friends for time and eternity!
