Mark 1:37-39 King James Version (KJV)
37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

Mark 1:37-39 Expanded Bible (EXB)

37
When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus answered, “·We should [Let us] go to other towns around here so I can preach there too. That is the reason I came.” 39 So he went everywhere in Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and ·forcing [driving; casting] out demons.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

37 How different the world would be if all men seeked after the Lord.

38 Jesus came to share the Truth being the Truth in the flesh. We should be diligent to share the gospel ourselves in service to Him.

39 God was seen thru the work of Jesus, are we letting God work thru us to where He is seen in us.

Why were they seeking Jesus? Who were those seeking? Jews or Gentiles?

Jesus went on to seek His own in the synagogues. The gospel is to the Jew first.

Signs and wonders were to attest to His authority from the Father and to establish His position as Redeemer of Israel.

Those who seek with a true heart will find.

Our lives must be a testimony of Gods love for sinners and how they are changed into saints of God.

We must be witnesses of the saving grace of God.

For the cause of Christ
