Surrounded by expectations

Saturday February 18th Mark 1: ." 45Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. The cat was out of the bag and the Messiahship of Jesus was being defined by exactly what everyone expected. Jesus continued to heal. Sometimes we find ourselves boxed in, surrounded only by expectations. When you find yourself in this situation, reach out and heal also. Sometimes it is just that reaching out that is in and of itself, the boundary crossing.
