This is wonderful in our eyes | Mark 11:26-12:12 | Dominic Steele | 17h January 2021

As things start up for 2021 we wanted to kick off with an upbeat passage. This is hard to do when we are in the lead up to the crucifixion of Jesus and Mark 11:27-12:12 spells out a massive conflict, as the religious leaders of the day challenge the authority of Jesus and Jesus in turn speaks a devastating penetrating parable against them.But there's a sparkling quote from Psalm 118:22 which shows us God's sovereignty over everything, even the messiness of this awkward conflict 'This is wonderful in our eyes.'Dominic Steele opens up this fascinating part of Mark's gospel.
