As we start Mark 2 the storm clouds appear on the horizon for Jesus. Can he really forgive sin? Why does he eat with sinners? Why doesn’t he fast and keep the Sabbath? Opposition begins to build. How will Jesus cope find he finds himself in controversy corner? What can we learn about him and the way he wants us to deal with the storms of life?
