The Message Of Jesus

Today scripture reading comes from:

Mark 9:33-50 KJV
(33)  And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
(34)  But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
(35)  And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
(36)  And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
(37)  Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
(38)  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
(39)  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
(40)  For he that is not against us is on our part.
(41)  For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
(42)  And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
(43)  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
(44)  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
(45)  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
(46)  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
(47)  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
(48)  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
(49)  For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
(50)  Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

What is the Gospel of Christ about? It is about redemption first and for most. About Christ dying on the cross for our sins, but his ministry was more then just about salvation, but doing good for all people. Whether christian or not, most good people do good works. Yet not all people are kind to children. Not everyone cares about the less of human society. To hurt someone that is a child, or someone less fortunate then you, or disabled is not tolerate by those that know children, disabled or the poor. People can not always help their station in life. Some just do not know a different way of living and those that do cause harm to them only adds insult to the already injured. To hurt a child is to hurt without a child understanding it necessarily wrong and it can maim a child for life. To abuse a child is to pass bad things of this world off to them. To pour acid on the wounds of the world that continue in our society. It continues to plague our world because each generation then has to deal with the abuse of the generation before them so not to repeat them.

The kindness and humility learn by lending or helping those in need only improves what people can do for others. To give even a cup of water even on a cold day is better then not ever offering it to those in need. Are you want to pass by those in need. Can you at least send them to a shelter or a church that will help a person with need. I have taken people to the missions when I could not help them myself.

One has to stop and consider what they do for others has it own reward. People remember how you helped someone or treated someone and often do the same to you. Now the right thing to do is be kind to all and not add the human repayment of revenge to the fire. The truth of the matter if what is causing your sin remove it, well do not go removing the poor or someone because they seem to be causing your eyes and nose problems. Fix the problem you have, if it caused by your hand cut it off, or your foot. Remove your eye. No don't go multiliating yourself. God desires us to remove the sin, whether it be a thought or action from ourselves. You go cutting off a hand you might not be able to work effectively. Keep your body parts, and change the person you are. Change the part of you that has no room to exist not only in society but in heaven. Our God is a holy God and those things that do not belong in heaven will not remain. The sin of the world belongs not in heaven. and the greatest sin is unbelief. Yet the sin is the care for others that are not as old as you, smart as you or as able as you. Bring healing to someone help them step up or leave them better then they are when you got there, even it only a penny for someone, or at the minimum a smile. Talking to people goes a long ways, even if you have nothing. Human kindness of socialism helps as well. The isolation of poverty is painful. Consider how you can help someone. Be like Jesus help those you come in contact with. Jesus healed many, and maybe all you can do is pray for people for healing to take place, for some healing only comes with pray and fasting on our part for someone. Let us not forget to do our part. Jesus was God's only begotten Son He had the power to heal. The power to heal is not in our hands. Yet our ability to pray is in our grasp. The ability to believe all things are possible is enough. If you can not believe the wrath of God will come to you, not only to purge your sins, but the sin of unbelief. Let us make a difference this Christmas season going forth with the message of love to all mankind despite their station in life.
