MARK 10 From distant places or close by here, Those who will come to Jesus, He bids draw near. The teaching He gave then is the same for us now – Mean what you say when you’re making a vow. Don’t say one thing and mean another – Whether it is to your wife, or your sister and brother. God sees and hears if your word is true – Never blame another if the fault is in you.
Children are never to be despised. It is in our hands to teach how to live their lives. They listen and trust what is said to them – Those who in child-like trust, enter the kingdom of heaven. The Lord Jesus urges us to let them come – And those will come, He receives every one. He didn’t only touch them, but took them in His embrace – And blesses old and young with His abounding grace.
To have eternal life is a good and great desire. When a person comes to Christ, His words will inspire
Or condemn – depending if one comes in faith, And He is willing to do things impossible to men. Delivered to the priests; condemned by the judge – The Jews and the Gentiles against Him allege Things He taught were against the laws of the land, They will mock and spit, and strike Him with their hands. Again, He explains how He will die and will rise – Giving His life a ransom – a true sacrifice.
Jesus was passing, the blind beggar could hear. When he found out it was Jesus, he called loud and clear. His need was great, and for that he could do nothing – But knowing of Jesus, he knew He could do anything. He kept calling aloud in spite of pressure to cease. Jesus stood still and said, “What is your need?” Any sinner that hears and calls from his heart- Jesus will stop and give a new life and new start.
“Holy Father, in the affairs of men, I know Thou art fully aware of anything that honors or dishonors Thy Son. From marriage to raising children; from prayer life to facing serious physical needs, I am so grateful that all things are known to Thee. I hope I am really living life as an open book before Thee, Father. I don’t want to be deceptive for my own sake, because I know I can’t in any way, fool Thee. Amen.”
