Jesus: The Master of Ceremonies - Mark 2:18-22
Jesus, his teaching, his work and his reign fits inside nothing else… no larger narrative.. no greater agenda or idol in all of eternal history. All of Judiasm was about Jesus. all the Old Testament….all of human history.. all the universe and all time is about the Triune God’s plan in Jesus’s Kingdom. And with that Kingdom came all new ceremonies, ordinances and commands.
Regular, proactive fasting is fitting and helpful for us to train our minds and hearts to love and long for our Savior who is physically away from us right now. It is his call and desire for his Church and you.
