Jesus EXPLAINED

Mark 4:33 & 34
"33 And with many such parables spake He the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
34 But without a parable spake He not unto them: and when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples."

The last two verses in chapter four of the Gospel of Mark; we learn that Jesus used many parables to teach people and we fear MANY of them were NOT recorded! And, too many were heard by people who just would not understand. And, very tantalizingly we read that last verse telling us "when they were alone" Jesus EXPLAINED His teaching to His Disciples. Wouldn't we all love to have these extra details? To get a "behind the scenes" look into teaching of our Lord and Savior. 

We are left with what we have in the Holy Bible. Learning how the Gospel can be spread like CAST SEED. This technique does NOT distribute the seeds evenly and the results are left in GOD'S hands. And there will come the time of HARVEST. God will bring ALL His children home.

God's Kingdom is like a MUSTARD TREE; big with many branches for all the birds. Even though it started as the littlest of things. Something that you might never even notice. Nothing at all the tiny MUSTARD SEED! Look for the opportunity for the seeds of the simple Gospel to be planted in people's hearts. Plant seeds where you are and where God sends you. The Holy Ghost will do the rest.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
