“And He sat down opposite the
treasury and watched”. The scene is incredible! Mark 12 is woven in the thread
of stories about the rich & powerful (that is the Pharisees, the Sadducees,
the Scribes and the Teachers of the Law). Then wrapped within is the “greatest commandment”
… and finally the scene at the treasury. Jesus sat opposite the treasury and
watched.
This morning I have found it
difficult to study, to read and to write. … Why? Because I’m watching! Watching
the amazing Oregon Coast as a winter storm brings intense waves crashing upon
the hundreds of rocks sitting within my vantage point. And this is the exact
reason that we made reservations here at the end of January.
To stop … perhaps “Be still”, as
the Psalmist says … and just watch. Not only is it incredibly refreshing, as well
you learn much from those moments.

So Jesus sat, He watched … read
if you so wish Mark 12:38-44 in order to realize the full impact of what Jesus
was watching. It’s powerful!
And might we all take moments in
our day to just watch, be refreshed and learn....grasping every moment!
