Availability
Jesus is
available to people, especially those who are in need. He heals the sick even on the sabbath. (Last week, we learned that it was a sabbath when
he went to the synagogue, and now, he goes to the house of Simon and Andrew
from the synagogue).
He makes
himself available to God in prayer. In
this way, he also is available to himself and his needs.
And he is
available to the mission that God has given him, not allowing success or
popularity to tie him down. Mark
recognizes that in this way, Jesus has already accomplished so much while we are
still in Chapter 1 of his Gospel.
Jesus
could be so available because of his singlemindedness about God-given
mission. “For this purpose have I come,”
says Jesus.
