And the reason that's worth considering is because as we're going through Mark's gospel, we are presented with a picture of Jesus, the Messiah who bears all of God's authority as the Son of God.
He has all authority to command people to follow him to get out of bed in the morning.
That is the main point of what Mark is writing for.
And also I want us to see today that that is good news for us.
That it's not a burden, it's an authority worth responding to.
It's worth responding to, it's worth getting up in the morning for.
