Jesus and His disciples were in the town of Capernaum on the shore of Lake Galilee. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue where Jesus was invited to preach. Those listening were amazed at the things He 
said for He spoke with such authority. Among those in the synagogue was a man who was possessed by an evil spirit. As Jesus was speaking he got up and started shouting, ‘ Go away! We want nothing to do with you, Jesus from Nazareth. You have come to destroy us. I know who you are—the Holy Son of God.’ ‘Be silent,’ Jesus commanded. Then He spoke to the demon and ordered, ‘Come out!’ The evil spirit threw the man to the floor. Then immediately the demon left. The man was not hurt in any way. Amazed, the people asked, ‘What is in the 
words Jesus speaks that even demons obey him?’ The story of what Jesus had done spread like wildfire throughout the whole region. 
 
 Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon (later called Peter). Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. Jesus bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it 
left her. She got up at once and prepared a meal for them all. At sunset, at the end of the Sabbath day, crowds 
of people came to Jesus to bring those who were sick. Jesus laid His hands on each one and healed them. Demons came out of many people, shouting, ‘You are the Son of God!’ Jesus rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Messiah. The next morning Jesus was up long before daybreak and went out alone into the wilderness to pray.

The Gospel of Mark is all about Jesus Christ, the Servant of God. Throughout Mark 8:27-10:52, Jesus begins to teach disciples that He will be rejected and put to death. Peter has just confessed that Jesus is the Messiah, and the next thing Jesus teaches is that He must suffer and die. Although the disciples are not prepared to accept this teaching, Jesus is teaching them that the life of a disciple of Christ is a life of humility and servanthood. 
For even the Son of Man didn’t come to be served but to serve. 
In Mark 10:33-34, for the fourth time in about two chapters, Jesus tells His disciples that He is about to be delivered to the Jewish leaders to be put to death. Now I don’t know about you, but if I were one of the apostles, I’d like to think that I would have gotten the message by now. I’d like to think that my mind would be on Jesus and how this man who healed the sick and was transfigured in glory was the Messiah. And I’d especially like to think that I would be thinking about how great He was, and how small and weak I was. 
But the very next thing we find the disciples doing is quite the opposite of what Jesus has spent so much time teaching by word and by deed. It’s James & John, the Sons of Thunder, who approach Jesus with a special request. Notice, from the beginning of this passage, how utterly audacious the request of James and John is. First, they don’t approach Jesus with fear or meekness. Instead, notice the audacity of their question: “Teacher – we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” 
Jesus could have rebuked them, as He did Peter when Peter resisted Christ’s approach to the Cross. But instead, He plays along, perhaps to see what is really in their hearts. Notice their arrogant, specific, request: “Make it so that we two brothers sit on your right and left hand in your glory.” In other words, “Make us #1 and #2 in your kingdom: give us glory above all those other bozos out there.” 
Jesus takes this opportunity, as always, to instruct them about both Himself and His Kingdom. They may expect Him to provide them with some divine pecking order: Peter first, John second, James third . . . . If so, Jesus greatly disappoints them. As always, He takes the worldly thinking that we are all born with and that is all around us and turns it absolutely on its head. 
While the Gentiles think greatness is all about who has what position and power, the Kingdom of God is run the opposite way of the world. Jesus clearly tells them: there is one way to be great in My Kingdom – and that is to be the servant of all. He repeats this in verse 44, only this time He says it even more strongly: “Whoever desires to be the first shall be the slave, not merely the servant, of all.”

But Amos's own nation, Israel, was also evil. They were cruel to poor people. The judges were not fair in court. And they served evil gods. Amos warned his people that they must confess their evil deeds to God. And they must learn to do the right things. Otherwise, God would allow Israel's enemies to attack. And these enemies would destroy the nation.

Belshazzar replaces Nebuchadnezzar in the storyline, but there is no improvement in leadership. Belshazzar's story repeats the self-satisfied pride of his predecessor and extends it to a blasphemous use of the temple vessels. Once again a disturbing vision-four letters on a wall-must be interpreted by Daniel. They signal the end of the Babylonian era and point to Belshazzar's death. 
Daniel 5 addresses a pride that not only ignores the proper use of power, but also challenges its divine source. Belshazzar's party probably started simply as an occasion for him to be a "big shot"-both to show off and to consolidate support for himself by hosting his followers. Belshazzar's self-centered party soon grew blasphemous as the guests drank from vessels of the temple in Jerusalem and worshiped other gods. Such blasphemy indicates that the king had let the party go to his head. 
 
This story is told from a Judean point of view. It doesn't tell us why vessels from the temple in Jerusalem were used and not the vessels from some other conquered temple. The writer is simply interested in exploring the rebellious challenge to the God of Israel. God had given Nebuchadnezzar the victory over Jerusalem which had culminated in the plundering of the temple vessels. The victory itself belonged to God, but King Belshazzar saw it simply as another sign of Babylonian prestige. What Babylonians worshiped was merely gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone-objects of creation-but not the God of creation. 
 
Belshazzar's vision shattered the power taken for granted in the Babylonian empire. The king remained pale, because no one could interpret his dream. When his lords saw that their king was scared, they could only be scared as well. They were dependent on him. Their world had not been enlarged enough to include the Lord of heaven as a major factor. 
 
Earlier, Nebuchadnezzar's stubborn pride led to a quarrel with his advisors, whom he finally threatened with death . Now, in Daniel 5, we meet a king who was too proud to have learned from his father. Admitting the need to learn anything is an admission that one is not self-sufficient; it is not surprising then that Belshazzar does not acknowledge God. The king is forced to accept advice from people not included in the party: first the queen and then Daniel. When the king called for Daniel, it was clear that he knew his gods of gold, silver, and the like were of no use. 
 
Daniel would not accept honorific rewards from the king for doing his duty. His way of life was the opposite of the principles on which the king had based his conduct. When at the end of the chapter the king commands the reception of his gifts, there is a quick reversal. Daniel, the servant, is honored, while the one who judged the world and his conduct on the basis of prestige is killed. 
 
Because of his pride, Nebuchadnezzar was condemned to seven years of subhuman life. Belshazzar, in contrast, was killed. Belshazzar's pride had led to blasphemy, which was an act of defiance beyond that of Nebuchadnezzar's. Belshazzar challenged God directly by making light of the vessels from the temple. The temple vessels were just as powerless in themselves as the Babylonian gods of gold, silver, and bronze. But through their use in Israel's worship life, they had come to be symbols of the presence of God. To make light of them was to make light of the events of salvation they were used to commemorate.

In Isaiah 61:1-3, this good news comes from the mouth of Christ Himself. This text is a climax to the many pre­dictions of Messiah in Isaiah’s prophecy. Isaiah has taken us from Christ’s virgin birth to His vicarious suffering and death to His triumphant resurrection and exaltation to His return in glory. But here are words that no merely human prophet could claim; they are grand and wonderful words from the Savior. Jesus confirmed this at the synagogue in Nazareth. Having read the opening verses of Isaiah 61, He forthrightly declared, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears” (Luke 4:17-21). Since no man ever spoke like Him, it is imperative to listen well to His words. These are words of life and hope.
