Authority of Jesus – Part 2 – Mark 2:35-45

Have you ever heard the adage, “you make time for what’s important to you?” In other words, your priorities will reveal what you hold dear in life. Often we’ll say, “oh, I just didn’t have time for such and such.” But typically, we’re lying. That really means, “I didn’t make time for such and such because I was busy with XYZ.” Let’s start being honest with one another. If going to the gym or working out is a priority, you’ll make it fit your schedule. If watching a particular show or spending time on a hobby was crucial enough, it would get accomplished. How often do we say I didn’t have enough time to read and pray? And then we consider everything else we accomplished on said day and realize this isn’t true. What you prioritize will unveil what you value.
