DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE
We use an expression
when someone is sick in a crowded area. We will ask, "Is there a doctor in
the house?" In other words, "Is there a physician available to meet
the needs of a sick person?"
When the man with the
withered hand went to the synagogue one day, he discovered that, indeed, there
was a doctor in the house! The doctor
was the Lord Jesus Christ!
AWARENESS OF JESUS -
Vss. 1-2 - Jesus knew the man was there and that he had a need.
It is comforting to know
that Jesus is aware of our needs.
AVAILABILITY OF JESUS - Vs. 3 - Not only was Jesus aware of the need, but He was
available to help. Let us find comfort
in Jesus' availability to help God's children.
ANGER OF JESUS - Vss.
4-5 - Jesus was being watched to see if He would violate (in their opinion) the
law by healing on the Sabbath. Jesus asked if it was legal to do good on the Sabbath.
The silence of those
watching indicated the hardness of their hearts. Jesus was grieved and angered.
ACTION OF JESUS - Vs. 5 - Jesus healed on the Sabbath, establishing the
correctness of doing good to others any day of the week!
ARROGANCE OF JESUS'
ENEMIES - Vss. 2,6 - They watched Jesus to see if He
would heal on the Sabbath. They wanted to accuse Him. The Pharisees, instead of
marveling at Jesus' miracle, took counsel to destroy Him!

Mark 3:1-6 etc.
THE FOUR LOOKS
We can tell a lot from the eyes of another
person. We can spot the look of anger,
joy, love, peace, frustration and confusion, to mention a few. In the Gospel of Mark, it says four times
that the Lord looked around. We find that He had.
THE LOOK OF EXASPERATION (Anger) Mark 3:1-6 (Vs. 5)
Jesus was
angered and grieved at the hardness of the Pharisee's hearts.
THE LOOK OF EXPOSURE Mark 5:24-24 (Vs. 32)
The Lord
exposed the quiet faith of this woman. Sometimes the Lord
will expose our faith so others will be encouraged.
THE LOOK OF EMPHASIS Mark 10:17-27 (Vs. 27)
Jesus was
making a very important point that what is impossible with
man is possible to God.
He looked around to get the attention of
those to whom he was speaking. He used His eyes to make a point.
THE LOOK OF EVALUATION Mark 11:11
As God, The Lord evaluated His temple. The next day, he returned to
clean it out. (See Mark 11:15-19) We are the
The Lord has
every right to evaluate us. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
