This week we follow Dr. Batson as he shows us who is in control of the script. Like all the other players in the drama, we want to control the Christ, too, telling Him what to do. But He refuses us, just like He refused them. Instead, He becomes uncontrollable, maybe even unmanageable, as the ruling and reigning Messiah. In the end, He looks to all and invites us into His drama where He controls the shots. “Come,” He says, “die with Me and then rise with Me from the dead.”

Mark 2:23-3:6 The sabbath was made for man, and not the man for Sabbath. The legalistic religious leaders were focused on outward piety/rule keeping rather than true holiness. They were so focused on catching others in the act of sin, their own black hearts escaped them.
