It's Day 1 and we're in Mark 1.

Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 40 - "If you are willing" - I think a lot of people doubt whether God wants to help them. They've messed up too much or they've wandered too far, they think. And yet the truth is that God is always willing.
Help:
- Verses 17-20 - Because Mark tells stripped-down versions of these stories and moves through scenes quickly, this sounds like Jesus walks up to total strangers, tells them to follow Him, and they do it. We know from other gospels, though, that Jesus had talked to them before.

Your Questions and Comments:
- A comment from one of our 60IN60 participants: Acts 8. "I've always wondered if Simon the Magician accepted Christ. I know he gets a bad reputation here as he offered Simon Peter money for the gift of the Holy Spirit, but it should be pointed out that, until then, currency was all he knew. Surely he knew his spells were claptrap, for when he saw something he couldn't control or pretend to summon, he bargained in the only way he knew how. Also, after Peter curses him for such thoughts, he immediately asks Peter to pray for him. Did an acceptance of Christ follow?"
