Mad Fad or Bad?

In Mark 3 the Gospel highlights both the success of Jesus’ ministry and the growing tension that would eventually lead to His crucifixion. The chapter also begins to clarify who Jesus is: not just a healer or teacher, but the Son of God with authority over spiritual and physical realms.

So there is the question whether Jesus is Mad, Fad or Bad?

Who is Jesus really?

Jesus demonstrates His authority over the Sabbath, healing, demons, and even the religious leaders. As Jesus gains followers, He also faces increasing opposition from the Pharisees and religious elites, leading to conspiracy against Him.

Jesus calls His disciples to be His closest companions and representatives in His mission and He redefines the concept of family, emphasizing that spiritual obedience to God transcends biological relationships.

Today I just want to explore who Jesus is?

That is the question most unbelievers are dealing with.

The answer to that question will help us in our mission to our family and friends.
