Jesus taught His disciples that those who are most humble and self-denying, most resemble Christ, and shall be most tenderly owned by Him. Jesus taught this by saying: "Whosoever shall receive one of such children in My name, receiveth Me..."
Matthew 18:4 KJV
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
In #Mark 6 we read about an ordinary man - Jesus - being despised 😒 by His kind. Jesus appeared to be the Son of God 👑, but the people didn’t acknowledge Him. We have to be very careful in despising someone, because that very person we disregard, can be someone in a great position 🤴, or can become someone great one day. Mark 6 also shows us, by king Herod, his daughter and his wife, that we have to be very careful with the words 🤭 we use. The words we use can be used against us. Finally Jesus gives His disciples five loaves 🍞 and two fishes 🐟. What would we do with them if Jesus would give them to us? 🤔
EXTRA:
Jesus seemed like and ordinary man, being despised. But He was in truth the expected Messiah. Those who seem to be nothing in this world are truly in God’s view. The least honourable people can be the greatest one day. Love your neighbour as yourself! 💛

1 Corinthians 12:22-23 (KJV) | Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

A SUFFERING MESSIAH --> Based on: Mark 8:1-38 (KJV)
SUMMARY Jesus was with His disciples and a crowd of thousands of people. They had been with Jesus for 3 days, without food. Jesus felt compassion and decided to feed them. Later Jesus heals a blind man who begged for healing. The chapter finished with Jesus saying that the Son of man will suffer and be rejected by many before His death and resurrection.
LESSONS
➡️The big multitude was with Jesus for 3 days, without food. They had followed Jesus all this time. I call this real commitment. To follow Jesus and not even thinking about food. Let's show God we really love Him by committing ourselves to Him for real. Let's stop sinning!
➡️When Jesus came into the parts of Dalmanutha, the Pharisees began to question with Him and sought for a sign from heaven to tempt Him. And we may be exactly the same: looking for a sign. Let's stop looking for signs and let's start looking for God! "Seek, and ye shall find."
➡️This world is full of darkness, betrayal and evil. False preachers, lying media, witches, etc. When we hear or read a message, we should not always believe what is being said. It's better to discover by yourself what is going on and what the truth is.

•A SUFFERING MESSIAH• 🧱~Mark 1:1-11(KJV)🧱 ————————————— 💼LESSONS💼 📗We can see that repentance and forgiveness of sins is really important in life. That’s why it is good that Jesus made Himself a little lower than the angels and gave the best sacrifice ever.📗 📘While the people got baptized, they also confessed their sins. It is important to confess your sins to God. And maybe even to one another —> Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16)📘 📙Even Jesus got baptized and saw the Spirit descending upon Himself like a dove. Likewise, we need the Holy Spirit in our lives —> But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26)📙 ————————————— 📝STORY📝 📣’’Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.’’ John the Baptist cried this in the wilderness; he was a messenger sent before His face to prepare the way before Jesus. So he baptized 💦 and preached the baptism of repentance of the remission of sins. And all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, went out unto him and got baptized in the river Jordan 🏞, confessing their sins. John proclaimed that Someone mightier than him will come after him, the latchet of Whose shoes 👞 he is not worthy to stoop down and unloose. This ‘Someone’ will baptize with the Holy Ghost. Now Jesus, coming from Nazareth of Galilee, came and was baptized of John in Jordan. When He came out of the water, the heavens were opened and the Spirit like a dove 🕊 descended upon Him. And there came a loud voice from heaven, saying: ‘’Thou art My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’’ ♥️ ————————————— April 28th - 2020 📜
