Sermon text: Mark 10:1-12
In this passage, Jesus refuses to settle for loopholes and instead calls us back to God’s vision of shalom—relational wholeness rooted in creation, covenant, and trust. This teaching confronts our tendency to manage anxiety by seeking quick relief through control, distance, or cutoff, especially when relationships become costly. Rather than softening the truth, Jesus allows the weight of brokenness to remain, inviting us to surrender our anxiety and submit to God’s restoring work. The cross assures us that shalom is not something we achieve but a destiny secured in Christ, calling us to lean into God’s reconciling presence even when life feels unresolved.
