Series: Mark

Mark 3:1-6
Now: Any day is a good day for a good deed.
INTRODUCTION: On October 22, 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, jr. spoke at Obelin College. His speech on ''The Future of Integration'' was heard by an estimated 2,500 students, faculty, and visitors.

The Pharisees know that Jesus will be at the Synagogue for worship as was his custom. But their minds on not on Worship or prayer. They are there to trap Jesus. Mark tells us they were watching him - They have been spying on him for quite some time now. We have found them in Peter's house, In Matthew's house, even in grainfield. Luke tells us they were lying in wait for him. They wanted to accuse him. To bring a change against him in a public court. They were insanely jealous ...
