"He is out of his mind." (Mark 3: 21)
Who do you imagine is the subject of the above sentence? Jesus Christ our Lord Himself! How will you feel if you are doing your best to serve the poor and needy in your community and gossips spread like wild fire that you are crazy? You will be furious with rage that your enemies will stop at nothing to destroy you. As the Evangelist Mark reported, the relatives of Jesus hearing the rumors, sent strong men to seize Jesus. Society does the same to somebody they consider mad. Seize him and lock him up for the good of society.
Are you prepared to pay this price as the cost of discipleship? Jesus was prepared to pay any price for our salvation.
