MARK 4 HE TAUGHT How can He know, this Man among men? Who never failed – always finished what He began? He pleased His Father in every way – He knew what to do and just what to say. His teaching was about many things – His knowledge complete from fathomless springs. From fishers and farmers, the question is – “How does He know – what manner of Man is this?”
HE WARNED With simple illustrations from a candle and a bed – Come lessons to us who have heard what He said. Be out in the open with what you believe – To busyness or sloth never give heed.
Be out in the open – always let your light shine – It may not be now, but at some other time A person who had been wandering on in the dark – Saw your light shining as you were doing you part
HE CHALLENGED From what you give others, you will surely receive. The blessings you get back are bigger than you can conceive. Giving to others is like giving to God – He takes account of each measure in your treasure lode. It may seem small in your eyes and the eyes of men – But nothing is small when it is given to Him. Just make sure when you give you never hold back – Or ever rob God or in your giving lack.
HE REVEALS There may be times when you wonder if God cares. It may seem at that moment He is not even there. He may not be in full view – perhaps deliberately obscure – Giving faith full reign to make you absolutely sure. A storm doesn’t mean He is not close at hand. He has promised that you will make it safely to land. The manner of this Man is so far beyond us – The best we can do is move ahead – in Him trust.
“Eternal God, who knows every mind and heart: I am before Thee here with a sense of reverence at being able to address such a Great God as a son. I am in wonder at the manner of the Man who was here on this earth. It was evident that He was God and yet seemed so human. I am amazed at the God-Man, the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
