Have you ever noticed the shimmer of what seems like water on the highway in the heat of summer? Or been out on the ocean or lake, far from shore and noticed what looked like land on the horizon? This optical phenomenon is called a mirage. Sometimes things are not as they appear at a distance. In the gospel according to Mark there are quite a few things that are not what they appear seen at a distance. Did you ever wonder why Jesus curses the fig tree? Or why he flipped over tables in the temple court? Come with us as Pastor Joe Grasso teaches from the gospel according to Mark on some mirages encountered on the road to Jerusalem.
