Mark 10:29-30
April 07, 2020 – Tuesday Mark 10:29-30 NIV 29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for Me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. Comments First of all an apology. Yesterday I sent out the verses of the…
Mark 4:16-17
April 06, 2020 – Monday Mark 4:16-17 NIV 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Comments As in Matthew on Monday, March 16, 2020, here again we have Jesus explaining the Parable of the Sower to His disciples. Again, as in Matthew the parable has four examples…
Mark 10:29-31
March 23, 2020 – Monday Mark 10:29-31 NIV 29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for Me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Comments These…
Luke 11:25-26
January 15, 2020 – Wednesday Mark 11:25-26 NKJV 25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Comments I really like the shortened version of verse twenty-five, if you have anything against anyone, forgive them. Short and to the point. Unlike the apostle Paul, Jesus is almost always short and to the point. Like…
Mark 4:41
to obey is better than sacrifice / obedience is better than sacrifice * October 14, 2019 – Monday Mark 4:41 NIV 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” Comments We have already looked at this event recently on October 8th in Matthew 8:27 which read The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” At that time we…
Mark 1:27
to obey is better than sacrifice / obedience is better than sacrifice * October 11, 2019 – Friday Mark 1:27 NIV 27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” Comments Jesus and His disciples had arrived recently in Capernaum where Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. There 22 The people were amazed at His teaching, because…
Mark 12:29-33
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” 32 “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there…
Mark 11:22-24
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:22-24 Let’s tell the truth. Does anyone really believe they can command…
Mark 10:2-9
2 Some Pharisees came and tested Him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” 3 “What did Moses command you?” He replied. 4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.” 5 “It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law,” Jesus replied. 6 “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man will…
Mark 8:14-21
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.” 16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?…
Mark 7:14-23
14 Again Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen to Me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16] * 17 After He had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples asked Him about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” He asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside…
Mark 7:6-8
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 7 They worship Me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ 8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” Reading the above, my first question is who are those Jesus is calling hypocrites? Then what is being talked about here…
