Focus On Entering the Kingdom of God!

Everyday New Testament, Mark Add comments
“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.” (v50)

Salt & Fire

1. Fire in Hell — Eternal life and Hell are the two paths that disciples have to choose between, the most important part being that there is no second chance to choose after death. (v47)

2. Salt that Prevents Decay — Humble service, generous hospitality to other saints, and caring for the smallest brother… these are hallmarks of a ‘salty’ disciple! (v50)

Scripture of the Day (NT):  Mark 9b (v23-50)

* CHENG Xiang /程翔, a reporter, was jailed and tortured for three years. He read many books on Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism etc., and had learned much, but realized that only the Bible could make him cry while reading it, while also creating a desire to speak with God, to pray, and eventually to believe in Christ. Which scripture do you think he read? (To be continued tomorrow.)
