Have you ever had your buttons pushed? I worked for many years in the mental health field and this is one of the favorite terms of clinicians. The ironic thing is that mental health professionals love to talk about how clients push buttons but they never like to discuss how they themselves push their clients’ buttons. I guess that in remembering this, I have allowed my button to be pushed. I digress. Today, I want to try a different kind of post. Read Mark 2:1-3:6 and when you get to Mark 3:5, you will find that Jesus gets angry, why? We often get angry (assuming we are not neurotic) because we are passionate about something. I heard a quote once from John Lloyd Ogilvie that says, “Tell me what ticks you off, and I will tell you what makes you tick.” What makes Jesus tick? What ticks Jesus off? I will give you some hints. Look at the questions in Mark 2:1-12; Mark 2:13-17; Mark 2:18-22; Mark 2:23-28; and Mark 3:1-6.
