Mark 7:14
As I have emphasized many times before, Jesus was above all else a teacher. He would let his followers know when he was about to say something important. In this case he calls the crowd closer to him and instructs them, his disciples, and the Jewish leaders.
Jesus seems to love to remind people to hear and understand. In other words, he always wants people to listen very closely and think about what they are hearing.
Job 21:1-23:17
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your personal interest in us. You care about each of us and our needs and you have forgiven our sins by Christ. And you want to have a relationship with each of us. It is so amazing! Knowing you is the joy of my life. You make it all worth while. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
Pray for our missionaries.
