Two verses at opposite ends of Mark 10 soothe my heart this morning.

Now if I could remember them through the day. I want their truth to keep my heart at peace.

“And the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again” (1).

In their hunger and thirst, they went again to the One who could meet that need. His teaching gave them what they lacked: truth, hope, and comfort.

At chapter’s end, the blind man (who couldn’t easily resort to Jesus) hears this wonderful news:

“Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee” (49).

Yeah. That’s what I need.
