delight

Tobit 11:5-17; Psalm 146 Praise the Lord, my soul; Mark 12:35-37

"The great crowd heard this with delight."

What a way to end the gospel.  

The crowd was delighted.  They were not entertained.  They were not amused.  They were not satisfied.  They were delighted. 

Finally some one was man enough to stand up to those of arrogance.  Finally, some one was man enough to stand up for those who had no one to stand up for them. 

Finally, some one was man enough to be bold and daring and truthful.

Jesus is that some one.  Jesus wants us to be that some one too.
