Mark - Session 5 - Jesus Includes

December 10, 2023 • Andrew Calamaro • Mark 7:24–37

Most people have at least once experienced being excluded. Feeling like an outsider is an emotionally painful experience. Whatever the reason for being excluded, the incident typically stays in our minds forever. Yet the opposite—being included in a group or event—can be life-giving. In the same way, the memory of belonging can remain with us throughout life.

Jesus shows, through the healing of two individuals, that He extends mercy to all people.
