our reading for today mark 10 everyman
who has given up his life for the cause
of God for the good news of Jesus Christ
for Jesus himself will be rewarded in
this life and have eternal life in
Christ amen
mark 10 verse 1 mark 10 verse 1 and he
got up and went into the country of
Judea on the other side of the Jordan
and great numbers of people came
together to him again and as was his way
he gave them teaching you see as soon as
you come to Jesus you get teaching not
the parable you get teaching about the
parallel the Word of God says that to
those who are outside I have knowledge
in the form of stories so that hearing
it they might not understand it they can
reproduce the words but they have no
knowledge of what it means they have no
idea of what it means and you hear a lot
of strange stories everywhere that can
be easily contradicted by the Word of
God because they are not rooted in the
knowledge of God but in the disability
to hear the word of God through his word
but who those who come to him to him not
to the world not to a preacher man not
to a bishop not to a pope not to a book
not to a verse not to a translation not
to a denomination not to a non
denomination but to him to Christ he
gives teaching His Word says but to you
who are with me
I see what it means as is his way that
is his way that is his we seek to be
with Christ and you will know you will
know in the full extent and meaning of
the word on all levels worldly things
and things of God for remember nothing
was created outside of him all that was
made was made for him and by him
he knows all and so as you come to
Christ he gives you teaching for that
reason every man who gives up his life
whatever he knows whatever he has for
the good news of Jesus Christ is
rewarded and has eternal life verse two
and Pharisees mark 10 verse 2 and
Pharisees came to him testing him with
the question is it right for a man to
put away his wife and he said to them in
answer
what did Moses say you were to do and he
said to him
Moses let us give her a statement in
writing and be free from her but jesus
said to them because of your hard hearts
he gave you this law but from the first
male and female made he damned for this
cause will a man go away from his father
and mother and be joined to his wife
and the two will become one flesh so
that they are no longer two but one
flesh let not that which has been joined
together by God be parted by men and in
the house the disciples put questions to
him again about this thing notice to the
Pharisees he just gave the story the
parable he just repeated his words that
were given a long time ago and in the
house
to those who were with him there his
disciples with questions to him again
about this thing and he said to them
mark 10 verse 11
whoever puts away his wife and takes
another is false to his wife and if she
herself puts away her husband and takes
another she is false to her husband and
they took to him little children so that
he might put his hands on them and the
disciples said sharp words to them about
the divorce you can marry many times in
many ways so be careful and when you put
away a wife well there’s the saying
about the scorned women right there is
trouble she has rights also and so the
husband be careful be careful and so the
people brought to him little children so
that he might put his hands on them and
bless them and the disciple said sharp
words to them and when Jesus saw it he
was angry he was angry and sad to them
let the little children come to me and
do not keep them away for of such is the
kingdom of God truly I say to you
whoever does not put himself under the
kingdom of God like a little child will
not come into it at all you must have
faith as of a little child without
doubting without well without pride
without pride without pride without
pride sometimes I hear people say my
Jesus and I’m like oh you’re Jesus you
own Jesus Paul says I am in bonds I am a
slave of the Lord but some people own
Jesus they have their own Jesus to cut
away all discussion they have their own
Jesus well I pray that the Lord Himself
may manifest to you and Annie
point in time as his choices so that you
as Paul who had a god persecuting
Christians may come down to your knees
before him not before man before him and
say who are you lord and you may see the
light of Christ amen back to mark 10
verse 16 he was angry and said whoever
does not put himself under the kingdom
of God like a little child will not come
into it at all without pride always
loving however their parents are whether
their parents are mad or angry or
frustrated within five minutes a child
has forgotten the little child has
forgotten and smiles and goes on like a
little child and he took them in his
arms and gave them a blessing putting
his hands on them and while he was going
out into the way a man came running to
him and went down on his knees saying
good master what have I to do so that I
may have eternal life and Jesus said to
him why do you say I am good no one is
good but one and that is God Jesus did
not say I am NOT God he says why do you
say I am good for the Lord knows the
hearts of all men
he has called him something
contradictory a good master a good
teacher
and also good so either he is a man a
teacher or good for only God is good you
have knowledge of what is said in the
law do not put anyone to death
do not be untrue in married life do not
give false witness do not get money by
deceit give honor to your father and
mother what have you to do well don’t
kill anyone
don’t be false and married life don’t
let your eyes wander your mind wander
your thoughts wander do not give false
witness
don’t witness against anyone what is not
true don’t get money by deceit don’t
cheat people to get their money
don’t scam people to get their money
give honor to your father and mother
doesn’t say give honor to your father
and mother if they are good if you agree
with what they do know for they lived in
their time and you are living in yours
and it’s a different time what was good
then may have been good then but the
past is the past
today you view it differently and your
children with will view it in a
different way again so the
says just give honor to your father and
mother and he said to him master all
these laws I have kept from the time
when I was young all of them remarkable
and Jesus looking on him and loving him
said there is one thing needed go get
money for your goods and give it to the
poor you’ve been working to make
yourself a rich man give it to the poor
and you will have wealth in heaven and
come with me
well in heaven come with me but his face
became sad at the saying and he went
away sorrow for he was one who had much
property and Jesus looking roundabout
said to his disciples how hard it is for
those who have wealth to come into the
kingdom of God people of the Lord you
who say you do all things according to
the Word of God do you have much wealth
how hard it is for those who have wealth
to come into the kingdom of God mark 10
verse 24 and the disciples were full of
wonder at his words but jesus said to
them again children how hard it is for
those who put faith in wealth who put
faith in the wisdom of the world in
things of the world in the rules and
regulations of
the world in the wise sayings of the
world how hard it is for those who put
faith in the wedding wealth in the
things of the world to come into the
kingdom of God it does not exist for
every man must choose one master one
Lord and if he has to he will love the
one and hate the other there is no way
around that it is simpler mark 10 verse
25 it is simpler for a camel to go
through a needles eye than for a man of
wealth to come into the kingdom of God
which means what it says it is simpler
for a camel to go through a needles eye
which is impossible but for a man of
wealth to come into the kingdom of God
and the Lord says that what we know to
be impossible is simpler than for a man
who loves money who trusts wealth who
trusts worldly things to come into the
kingdom of God it is impossible and they
were greatly surprised saying to him who
then may have salvation for they know
they examine themselves and said we’re
all doomed who then may have salvation
Jesus looking on them said with man it
is impossible but not with God for all
things are possible with God
you cannot do
all things through Christ for that
reason you have to turn to him give up
your life every man who gives up his
life for the good news for Jesus Christ
is rewarded and has eternal life in
Christ Peter said to him see we have
given up everything and come after you
when he called them they just went Jesus
said truly I say to you there is no man
who has given up house or brothers or
sisters or mother or father or children
or land because of me and the good news
who will not get a hundred times as much
now in this time houses and brothers and
sisters and mothers and children and
land though with great troubles great
troubles and in the world to come
eternal life but a great number who are
first will be last and those who are
last will be first is timing not yours
and they were on the way going up to
Jerusalem and Jesus was going before
them and they were full of wonder but
those who came after him were in fear
and again he took the twelve and gave
them word of the things which were to
come on him
see we go up to Jerusalem and the Son of
Man will be given up to the chief
priests and the scribes and they will
give an order for his death and will
give him up to the Gentiles and they
will make sport on him sport of him and
give him but shame on him and give him
cruel blows and will put him to death
and after three days he will come back
from the dead
giving up his life for the good news and
he’s rewarded for here we are all his
children and in him and he is eternal
life and there came to him James and
John the sons of Zebedee saying to him
Master will you give us whatever may be
your request and he said to them what
would you have me do for you and they
said to him let us be seated one at your
right hand and one at your left in your
glory when you are seated in your glory
but jesus said to them you have no
knowledge of what you are saying are you
able to take of my cup or to undergo the
baptism which I am to undergo and they
said to him we are able we are able and
jesus said to them you will take of the
cup from which I take and a baptism
which I am about to undergo you will
undergo but to be seated at my right
hand or at my left
not for me to give but it is for those
for whom it has been made ready come
before the foundation of the universe
and hearing this the requests of the two
of the sons of zebedee the ten became
very angry with James and John and Jesus
made them come to him and sat to them
you see that those who are made rulers
over the Gentiles are lords over them
and their great ones have authority over
them but it is not so among you it is
not so among you but whoever has a
desire to become great among you let him
be your servant and whoever has a desire
to be first among you let him be servant
of all for truly the son of man did not
come to have servants but to be a
servant and to give his life for the
salvation of men and every man who gives
up his life for the good news of Jesus
Christ for the salvation of men will be
rewarded and have eternal life and he
came to Jericho mark 10 verse 46 and
when he was going out of Jericho with
his disciples and a great number of
people the son of Timaeus
bartimaeus a blind man was seated by the
wayside with his hand out for money and
when it came came to his ears that it
was Jesus of Nazareth he gave a cry and
said
Jesus son of David have mercy on me
beautiful prayer remember whenever you
are in distress in distress Jesus son of
David have mercy on me Jesus have mercy
on me Jesus mercy mercy Lord blessed be
your Lord and some of them turning in
protest gave him an order to be quiet
but he went on crying out all the more
son of David have mercy on me and Jesus
came to a stop and said let him come and
crying out to the blind man they said to
him be comforted be comforted come he
has sent for you this is what comfort is
he has sent for you love
not that we loved him but if he loved us
enough to give us to give up his life so
that we might be saved the comfort is
that he says come come be comforted come
he has sent for you and he putting off
his coat got up quickly and came to
Jesus and Jesus said to him what would
you have me do to you and the blind man
said master make me able to see and
Jesus said to him go on your way your
faith has made you well notice that it’s
always about faith your faith has made
you well your faith in the presence of
the Lord has made you well it’s never
well after 10 months when this and that
happens then you will be made well if
you have that faith to come directly to
him he says you are healed go on your
way
your faith has made you well and
straightaway he was able to see and went
after him in the way cause you see
whenever you’re healed by Jesus you know
the Lord and you go after him and every
man who gives up his life every man who
gives up his life for the good news of
Jesus Christ will be rewarded is
rewarded
has eternal life blessed be your Lord
and I pray that everyone everyone
everyone for this is the Word of God
which does not return to Him void that
everyone who gives up his life his
worldly ambitions his worldly desires
his worldly lusts his worldly pride for
God for the good news of Jesus Christ
for Jesus may be rewarded in this life
and have eternal life in Christ in Jesus
mighty name amen blessed be our Lord
blessed be our Lord and our God
