AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 1:12 ¶ Immediately the [Holy] Spirit forced Him out into the wilderness. |
Subject: Mark 1:12 ekbaino not ekballo, |
Bible Note: Most likely from the Received Text (Textus Receptus.) But what is interesting is that the Spirit "threw Jesus out like a ball" into the wilderness from the city. That act kinda removes the idea the Holy Spirit is a "Gentleman," don't you think? I read "force" and "intent" and "direction" in this act. And speaking from experience I've had this "Gentleman" do the same to me several times in my walk. Not complaining, mind you, but when it does occur I've learned to enjoy the direct guidance of the Lord and know that what happens will be for my edification and to accomplish His will and purpose (despite not always knowing at the time what that purpose may be.) |
