Mark 3:22-29 The holiness of Jesus was vigorous and transformed the lives of those around him. Because they themselves knew so little about the truth, mercy and humility that define true holiness, the Pharisees maligned Jesus by mis-aligning his acts of mercy with Satan. In the end, their ignorance and misunderstanding precipitated the most unholy act of all time: the torture and death of the Son of Man who was the Son of God. Do I understand and recognize true holiness? Am I really willing to be holy as Jesus is holy, despite the ignorance and criticism of others? Holy Spirit, help me be holy as Jesus is holy, in all truth and mercy, with humility. I will hear what the Lord God has to say, a voice that speaks of peace, peace for his people and his friends, and those who turn to him in their hearts. (Psalm 85:8) Show us your mercy, Lord; our misery is known to us. May no evil desires prevail over us, for your glory and love dwell in our hearts.
