Sunday's Sermon: “You Had One Job, Guys! " Text: Mark 9:14-29
“You had one job, guys! One job! What happened?” This is akin to Jesus’ reaction after He, Peter, James, and John returned from the transfiguration on the mountain. The other 9 were approached by a father who wanted them to cast out a demon from his son. Easy, right? Jesus had told them this is their job, and they’d even accomplished this before. And yet things do not go as planned. The son is brought to them, tormented by the demon inside. And they cast it out. “be gone!” “Go! Scat! Shoo!” Nothing. The boy is still writhing on the ground, and the crowd that has gathered sees the disgrace the disciples are bringing upon themselves—they were pretty confident that they could fulfill the father’s wishes, but not one of them managed to get rid of it. I’m sure this brought up questions like—what can you really do anyways? Is it only Jesus who can do this? Or have you lost this power already? They are all arguing over who understands the situation right, when Jesus and the 3 come down from the glorious mountain top into the midst of the nitty and the gritty of the world and proves His power and care for the least of these.
