Mark 8:10

 Mark 8:10 says, And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. After feeding the seven thousand men, Jesus immediately got on a ship and left.  Jesus did not come for the praise and adoration of people for what He could do for them physically or materially, but He come to call people to Him spiritually.  This would reach its culmination at the end of His earthly ministry when He sacrificed Himself on the cross to make salvation possible for anyone and everyone who put their faith in Him as their personal Savior and Lord.  Jesus did not die to save just certain people, but to save everyone who put their faith in Him, and that includes people who may hate Christians.  I believe our responsibility is not to hate them in return, but to share the love of Christ with them as we earnestly pray for their salvation.  This is just my understanding of what God's word says, but I don't believe that we are to engage in speaking evil of them either.  Verse eleven adds, And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. Jesus encountered some Pharisees when He came ashore.  The Pharisees seemed to always be around Jesus, and though they were super religious people, they did not know Who Jesus was, and they did not like Him at all.  There are still very religious people today who do not know Who Jesus is, and they often do not like what He teaches at all.  Verse twelve continues, And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.  The Pharisees asked Jesus for a sign to prove He was Who people said He was.  They did this to tempt Jesus.  There are still people today who refuse to believe in Jesus Christ as the only Savior and the only way to forgiveness of sin.  The only sign there ever was or ever will be is the sign of the cross, and the empty tomb that was a part of the salvation plan of God.  Jesus said no sign would be given to that generation, those who lived before His death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, and those are the only signs any generation will ever be given.  If we demand signs in order to believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, then we are not coming by faith, which is the only way to accept His salvation of us.  Verse thirteen concludes, And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.  Jesus did not stay to argue with the Pharisees but left on a ship again.  God is not going to stay around to argue with anyone about the only way to salvation today, which was, is, and always will be faith in Jesus Christ as ones personal Savior and Lord.
