thoughts on Mark 4:21-25
This is quite a small section of the Gospel, but Jesus says some pretty incredible things. Challenging things. Hard things:
"For whatever is hidden meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open." (22)
It is the Kingdom of God. It is light. It is near, and it is now. The fullness of the Kingdom is not to be hidden, it will be laid bare and all will see God. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and Lord.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.
