Go120 - "Roadblocks" Part 1



Following Jesus in servant hood requires us to do the right thing when encountering roadblocks. Jesus encountered opposition when He did the right thing. These could have been seen as roadblocks on His journey. How He navigated through them gives us a path to travel as we follow Him.

1. Roadblock #1 – Jesus ate with the wrong the crowd. 2:13-17
His navigation – He explained that He was calling the sick to repentance.
2. Roadblock #2 – Jesus did not follow outdated tradition. 2:18-22
His navigation – He brought newness of thought and operation which coincided
with the original thoughts of God.
3. Roadblock #3 – Jesus had the right but unpopular concept of a religious tradition.
2:23-27 / 3:1-5
His navigation – He pointed out that the tradition was for man not man for
the tradition. He did what was right in the sight of His opposition.
