23^RD ,MARCH 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 1-3

TEXT: Matthew 10:34-42
34. And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him; and the third day he shall rise again.

35. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

36. And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

37. They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

38. But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask; can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?

39. And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized;

40. But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

41. And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.

42. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

KEY VERSE: Matthew 10:37

“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Let your converts know all they should.

THE MESSAGE:

Christian marriage counselors often ask young couples preparing for marriage to be transparent in relating with each other with respect to their past. This is because they are about to begin a journey, which makes them one indivisible entity. There is little or no individuality after the wedding. They are also told that after tying the knot, they should be ready to be dissolved into each other, with no one claiming exclusive ownership of his or her body or property.

Our Lord found it obligatory also to let His disciples know the rules of engagement in the evangelism enterprise. True, they had responded to His call to make them fishers of men; but the Lord wanted them to know the whole truth about the inherent demands in discipleship so they would not accuse Him of withholding vital information that would alert them of the consequences of personal sacrifices.

So, He told them their relationship with God was far more important than with their earthly family. He said His message would cause division between those who desire His light and those who would want to walk in darkness. Jesus said those who deny Him to preserve their lives would lose it while those who endure persecution for Him would gain everlasting life.

When we lead new souls to the Lord, we must adopt Christ’s approach. We should not shy away from letting these new converts know the sacrifices of service as they labour in the Master’s vineyard. Our heavenly Partner promises blessings here in the world and greater riches hereafter in heaven if we stick to Him and do His will.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
