“So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.” (Mark 13:23)

The Lord prophesized, warned, advised!

1. Be forewarn – Jesus prophesized about the tribulations of the end times, emphasizing the rise of false Christs & false prophets . Take heed !

2. The only Truth – things that deceive our hearts the most are philosophic theory & evil teaching, distorted sense of value, outrageous lies. Do we discern what we hear, what we see & what we think against the words of God?

He is not the God of the dead (Mark 12:27)

Our God is a God of the Living (Mark 12:27):
1. In the U.S., it is best to sow wheat before snowfall. Being buried under the snow , it sprouts as a stronger seed.

2. Near 500 years after the death of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, God said to Moses, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac & the God of Jacob.” (Exo 3). Moses’ father, Amram, lived 137 years (Exo 6:20). If Moses was born when Amram was 50. then Amram would be 130 , alive.

3. God first mentioned He was God of Moses’ father, also God of the 3 patriarchs. They were all alive (in heaven) ,as if they were of the same generation of Moses’ !

4. Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26). We need to live by God & for God.

“He saved others, but he can’t save himself…” (Mt27?42)

Does it make sense not to save himself? (v.38-50 )

Aftre that he chained himself & said, “If I’m fine give me food, but if I go mad please leave me alone. I give the rest to God.” He died 9 days later, his friends set up a monument in memory of him.

2. The blacksmith did it in times of danger, but Jesus was willing to sacrifice from the first day. The blacksmith sacrificed for friends yet Jesus died for enemies. The blacksmith was praised but Jesus was mocked. But His death completed the salvation. He could not save himself! For if He saved Himself , we have no way for salvation !

Voice Divine Comments Off

But Jesus made no reply….(Matt 27:14)

The dynamics & stillness of our Lord (v.1-26)

1. The source of dynamic force is in the various forms of stillness – potential energy, heat, electromagnetic, chemical energy, nuclear power. When water in the calm lake up in the high mountain plunges, it generates strong power. When fuel rests, massive chemical energy it creates can thrust a rocket into space. Verily, power of stillness is much stronger than that of forcefulness. No wonder the Bible tells us “Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. (Proverbs 16:32)

2. Jesus displayed great power . However, when facing unfair ill-treatment, heartless torture, Jesus was calm as still water, not doing anything to defend Himself. Verily, He testified His full confidence found in trusting God completely. The weight of His calmness intensely amazed the governor! Praise Thee Jesus! You are truly Man amongst men, Saint of all saints. Hallelujah!
