Mark 2:18–3:6 Religion or Relationship

I wonder how many people we turn off to the gospel by arguing about religious concepts rather than sharing the truth of Jesus Christ’s love and mercy to save us from the wrath we deserve. 

I wonder how many people got ready for church without so much as a thought of who they were coming to worship. 

Mark 2:18–3:6 highlights the difference between religion and a relationship in three encounters Jesus had with a group of Pharisees. 

There is all the difference in the world between religion and relationship.
