PLEASE GOD NOT PEOPLE
Mark 10:48 "And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me."
MARK 10:43-48
The devil will always have someone available to tell us why we shouldn't expect to get results when petitioning God. Most people would rather stay with the crowd and not do anything to draw attention to themselves even if that means not getting their needs met. They will try to make you conform as well. If this man would have listened to...
LOVING JESUS!
"Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved." Luke 13:23
IN JESUS TODAY!
Close to Jesus is where we should want to be. Close like John was, so close that we can ask him anything, so close that we can hear his heart! When we are close to Jesus we can ask anything and he will answer, as we read here, "He then lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto him, Lord who is it? Jesus answered, he it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it." John 13:25, 26 For more please visit: http://souls-for-christ.com/id33.html

JESUS PAID THE PRICE
Mark 10:45 "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
MARK 10:45
Jesus told His disciples many times of His death but this is the first time He indicated the reason for His death. Now it is clear that His death would be a "ransom", defined in the Greek as a means of loosing by paying a price.
The words "ransom" and "redeem" were used interchangeably in scripture.

SHARE IN HIS SUFFERINGS
Matthew 20:22 "But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able."
MATTHEW 20:17-25
The Greek word for baptize is "baptizo." This word was used by Plato (fourth century B.C.) to describe a man being "overwhelmed" by philosophical arguments; or it means sponges being "dipped" in fluid; and by Strabo (first century B.C.) to describe people...

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DO
Matthew 20:8 "So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first."
MATTHEW 20:1-16
This parable begins with Jesus' statement that the kingdom of heaven is likened to a man who is a householder (owner of an estate). He went out early in the morning to hire workers to work in his vineyard for the day. An agreed upon price was set at a penny, the normal wage paid daily for a laborer....
HONOR THE HEAD!
"Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved." 1 Corinthians 11:4, 5
IN JESUS TODAY!
Do we know who we are addressing when we pray or prophesy? This is the question. If we do, and since we do, it is wise to show respect. These days there is too little respect all around, for example, some folks liking to wear their pants drooping, For more please visit: http://souls-for-christ.com/id33.html

RECEIVE THE GIFT OF SALVATION
Mark 10:21 "Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me."
MARK 10:21-27
Notice that the scripture makes special mention of Jesus loving this rich young ruler. This is stated after this young man said he had kept all of God's commands, which was not the truth. Jesus was showing him that he had broken the...
TODAY!
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead." Philippians 3:13

TRUST IN JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR
Matthew 19:16 "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?"
MATTHEW 19:12-20
On the surface, it appears that this rich young ruler was "right on" in the way he approached Jesus and sought salvation. He ran, kneeled down to Jesus, and openly professed Him as a Good Master. What could be wrong with that?
First, he acknowledged Jesus as good but not as God. This is a pivotal point.

LIFE!
"Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live." John 11:25
IN JESUS TODAY!
Millions of dollars are spent everyday in an effort to find life, to extend life, and to live a happy life. There is a better way than chasing this the world's way and guess what! It is free! Jesus already paid for it so that we may have life and life more abundant, as we read, "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
