I Am the Way the Truth and the Life

As Jesus sits quietly in the large upper room with His eleven apostles, He understands their worry and their concern for Him. He has told them what is coming and His hour is now at hand. He knows they are troubled and so He lovingly says to them, "Let not your hearts be trouble; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

055 - More About Jesus - Mark 9:30-50

This will be the second time that Jesus tells His apostles about His betrayal, execution, and resurrection. Mark tells us that the apostles were afraid to ask Jesus about this teaching. As we get to the end of our reading today, we'll hear Jesus tell us how to deal with sin in our lives. "Find it and cut it off!"

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

Martha will come to Jesus and say, "Lord, if you were here my brother would not have died." She's right about that, but God is doing something far greater. "It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it."

Peter, James, and John are coming down the mountain with the Lord, and they are met with a crowd of people and the disciples disputing with the scribes. A man has brought his only son, and he needs Jesus' help.

I Am the Good Shepherd

During the days of Jesus, there was a religious system that was well established and firmly set in place. There were religious leaders who were responsible for the people and their devotion to God. Matthew 9:36 tells us this, "When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd." How sad!
