Isaiah 50-52: Mark 12:28-44

Good Afternoon Truth Seekers! I apologize for the late post. I read this morning but did not post due to morning schedule and my running late. Isaiah 50-52 Servants of God are not above suffering for his name sake. In fact, more than anything is goes with the job. But servant like obedience brings eternal rewards. Just like the suffering servant who will be treated the worst, but his reward will be the greatest of all. Paul writes is we suffer with Jesus we shall reign with him.

Mark 12 offers many different lessons; What is the greatest commandment? Love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your mind and with all of your strength. Then Love your neighbor as yourself. I always say if you do not love God this way, your neighbor does not stand a chance. They gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything. This goes with the first lesson; all that we have is his. Giving it to him guarantees provisions and prevention. What I mean is that when we offer God our whole it gives him both responsibility and authority in our lives. If we obey God He promises to take care of us.
