Mark 2:8

Mark 2:8

The text shows

I. An important aspect of human power. Secrecy; having two lives. These considerations make us mysteries to one another.

II. A startling instance of Divine insight.

III. A splendid manifestation of Christ's fearlessness.

IV. A solemn example of the confusion which will fall upon all Christ's objectors.
