So My plan was to read ezekiel for a starter of this year but God led me to studying the Gospel of Mark.
Amazing how the Gospel of Mark being the shortest of the 4 gospels contains the most miracles of Jesus. The Gospel of MArk is the busiest Gospel of All. In His Gospel he presented Jesus as a Servant and a Saviour that's why the pastor said if in any case you forgot everything about the whole gospel please remember Mark 10:45 "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” It was more fascinating to know about Mark. He was just like us who happened to be a failure in his own version. He abandoned Jesus when the tough call was made for the 70disciples. He was one of them. He abandoned Paul in the first missionary journey in the book of acts. But what's encouraging about his life is he might have done "SAME STUPID MISTAKES TWICE" he bounce back greater and finished the race. Mark the Gospel writer who have journeyed with Peter and shared most of the Sermons was convicted and driven by the Holy Spirit to wrote the Gospel was just as human as we are. He has been rejected by Paul on the 2nd missionary journey because of the mistake he has done with them on the first trip but Barnabas took him and He was accepted again and he did it. He finished the race and he made Paul change his mind about him. It was an encouragement for me to be able to start this study in the life of the writer of the Gospel of Mark and the beginning of the Gospel. (On a lighter Note the joke of the pastor in the beginning was the one that really made my day!) He said, "if you are studying the word of God you will have those nuggets of knowledge that you will only have and thank God for that!" Like for example IF YOU STUDY THE WORD OF GOD YOU WILL KNOW THAT MEN WILL BE RAPTURED 30MINS AHEAD BEFORE WOMEN!" 😂😂😂 The reference was written in Revelations 8:1, "When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." I laughed so hard I knew where it is heading I paused the video and really had a good laugh! The pastor went on reading the verse and said there was silence in heaven for about half an hour! NO WAY THERE's A WOMAN IN THERE! 😂😂😂 #wordofGod #devotion #GospelofMark |
