"But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not coat also. Give to every man …

Luke 4:23-27
"And He said unto them, 'Ye will surely say unto Me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.' And He said, 'Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in …
There are a Few People Who are Still Asking the Question…
...Concerning matters of things to come and the Lord's coming again. Then there are some who just do not care.

The Fig Tree and Forgiving
In the Gospel of Mark chapter 11 and verses 12 - 14 Jesus has sought fruit on a fig tree for His breakfast; and He found no fruit. He curses the fig tree, and they soon discover it has withered and died. When we come to the discovery of the cursed fig tree a few …
Stand Up for Jesus to Live
Reading this morning from Mark 8 - 9 I marked the following verses... And when He had called the people unto Him with His disciples also, He said unto them, 'Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; …
From Without; From Within
My Bible reading for this day was Mark 7. When you read the whole chapter you will see the teaching Jesus gives us started over accusations from the religious elite of His day over eating with unwashed hands according to their traditions. The following verses are the teachings Jesus gives... "And when He had called …
In the Sight of the Shepherd
Reading Mark 5 - 6 today I noted the following verse of Mark chapter 6... "And Jesus, when He came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and He began to teach them many things." Mark 6:34 (KJB) We of Adam's race …
Ears to Hear, Let Them Hear
As I read Mark 2 - 4 in my Bible reading today I read again the parables of Mark 4. The one I am sharing today is with Jesus's own explanation of it, so I will add no further commentary to it. "And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in …
He Still Touches the Unclean
"And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, 'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean'. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy …
No Government of Man Can Stop It
"So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch." Matthew 27:66 (KJB) Reading today in Matthew 27 and 28 you will find that Jesus is crucified by the powers that be, and a mob of angry people who hated Jesus, and the most powerful ruling human authorities on earth …
Are You the Christ, the Son of God?
The title is the question the high priest asked of Jesus as He was being tried for His "crimes" (Matthew 26:63). When Jesus opened His mouth it was acknowledging the words of the high priest with a loud "Yes!"... "Jesus saith unto him, 'Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see …
Jesus is Coming Again – Wake Up
"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as …
The Question of David’s Son
The Pharisees claimed to believe the word of God. They had attached many traditions to their beliefs and practices; and probably due to this had become blind to who Jesus was and is. Jesus asks the Pharisees a question they cannot answer. In the following verses there is only one answer you can reach as …
When We Speak With GOD and Miracles Happen
Let me be clear about something before we get too far into this fairly lengthy study. I do not see miracles in everything that happens. I do not believe the birth of a baby is a miracle. The conception, maybe, but not the birth. One exception to that would be the birth of Jesus Christ; …
To Be Found
Have you ever been lost? Driving down a highway, and missing a turn is not the full meaning of being lost; you can simply turn around and go back. A few years ago when our children were still at home I had a thought while we were traveling and I missed the turn to get …
