No one can enter a strong man’s house to steal his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man.
Mark 3:27
BSB
Read Mark 3 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Mark 3)
The strong man bound
Opponents said Jesus cast out demons with the help of the devil himself. Even his family thought he was beside himself. Jesus answered with an image.
A strong man guards his house. Nobody can plunder his goods without first tying him up. Jesus says: that is what I am doing. Evil is strong, but there is someone stronger.
Question for today
Where do I need the help of someone stronger than what is holding me?
Prayer
Lord Jesus, you are stronger than everything that binds me. Come into my house and set me free. Amen.
