Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Mark 3:5:
The Sabbath in the Time of ChristMark 3:5
Excerpted from: Prayer and Seeking GodIt is very easy for us to look at the so-called "Christianity's" picture of a sallow complexion and cow-eyed Christ and listen to many of the songs they have written of Him, and come up with a characterization of Him that is passive, indulgent, and weakly good-natured. It is true that there is in Him an almost unbelievable patience and lack of exasperation with impossible people: the scribes, the Pharisees, and the Sadducees, for example. But it would be a serious mistake to characterize Him as being without fire in His temperament as well.
There are quite a number of examples that Christ got hot about things. In Mark 3:5, it says He turned around and looked at these people with anger. There must have been something flashing out of His eyes, and His face must have been twisted in such a way that it affected Mark or Peter, whomever the author of that was, that he remembered that flashing from Christ. He was angry at what was going on. There was nothing gentle when Christ said of Herod, "Tell that fox. . ." How about the rebuke of Peter in Matthew 16, "Get you behind me Satan!" How would you like Him to say that to you? That would be hard to take.
