Radical

Mark 3:20-22

  • Own family thought he went off the deep end
  • Family wanted to forcibly take him home.
  • They near followed Jesus or listen to the teachings themselves
  • Jesus didn’t conform to socially acceptable levels of zeal, enthusiasm, and single-mindedness
  • Maybe called obsessed or frantic about something
  • Only politically correct when involving athletics, the military or making money

Reasonability

Mark 3:23-30

  • When faced with accusations, Jesus calmly reasoned with his accusers.
  • Leave it up to the listener to consider the evidence and arrive at a logical conclusion
