Wonder: What Do You See? – May 30, 2021

Scripture: Mark 3:1-6, (NRSV); Galatians 5: 22-23

Mr. Tushman, the wise school principal in the film Wonder, urged staff and students to be “Kinder than is necessary. Because it’s not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed.” When the apostle Paul listed some of the key qualities God offers to grow in us, he put kindness squarely at the center of the list. Jesus looked at the hard-hearted people around him, and healed the man with the withered hand. All Christ-followers, not just the naturally kind ones, can receive the fruit of kindness when the Holy Spirit infuses and directs all parts of our life.
