Mark 2

* The scribes were there listening to Jesus (v6)
* Jesus was in the presense of sinners, not apart from them (v16)
* "The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" (v27)
Interestingly both the srighteous scribes and the sinners sought out Jesus. This chapter deals with
1) RECONSILIATION - righteous/unrighteous - God/man (forgiveness of sins)
2) LIBERATION - law is to set free
- fasting (v19)
- sabbath (v27)
3)LORDSHIP - authority (v10)
- Lord od the sabbath (v28)

KEYPOINTS:
We have a mandate for dominion. If we start to live our lives like we are heirs of the king and inheritors of the earth then people will come to us. However we should be willing to be seen in the presence of both sinners and the so called righteous. The risk for us us to be seen in the presence of the elite while neglecting the lessor.
