Mark 9:33-37 Part 2 of 3

    They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.

    Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all."

    He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

A B C's of Salvation

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Ever since the creation of the world and God formed the first man and breathed into him the breath of life, He has desired a close personal relationship with people and was grieved that some of them did not want a relationship with Him. Throughout the Bible the story of that relationship has gone through many ups (blessings) and downs (judgments). But God had a plan and sent His one and only Son to earth to draw all men to Him, by offering eternal life to those who would believe in Him. That is the beginning of the good news, the Gospel.

 

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Today is the day of Salvation:  Why would anyone put off the most important decision they could ever make in their lives concerning eternal life?     If you die today are you going to heaven?

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - The apostle Paul tells us what the gospel is: "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.  For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.

Gospel means "good news."   Your debt has been paid, the death penalty has been paid, you are free.

Here's the Gospel of Jesus Christ: That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.   

Jesus brought in a little child as a living object lesson to show who enters the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 - Jesus said: "Unless you become like this little child you will not enter the kingdom of heaven."  This is how to be saved, it is simply child like, as simple as ABC:

A                  - Admit that you are a sinner.  This is where that godly sorrow leads to genuine repentance for sinning against a righteous God and there is a change of heart, we change our mind and God changes our hearts and regenerates us from the inside out.

Romans 3:10 - As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one."

Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (We are all born sinners which is why we must be born spiritually in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven).

Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The bad news is that the wages of sin is death, in other words our sin means that we have been given a death sentence, we have the death penalty hanging over our heads, that's the bad news.  But here's the good news:  The good news is that the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.                 

 

B                  - Believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and that God raised Jesus from the dead.  This is trusting with all of your heart that Jesus Christ is who he said he was.

Romans 10:9-10 - That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

C                  - Call upon the name of the Lord.  Every single person who ever lived since Adam will bend their knee and confess with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, the Lord of lords and the King of kings.

Romans 14:11 -  For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."                                                

Don't wait until later — do this now.

Romans 10:13 -  For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

"O God, I am a sinner.  I'm sorry for my sin.  I want to turn from my sin.  I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son; I believe that He died on the cross for my sin and that He was buried and You raised Him to life. I have decided to place my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior, trusting only in His shed blood as sufficient to save my soul and to take me to heaven.  Thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving me. Amen."

 

Begin your new life by reading the Bible to learn more about who God is.

Ask Him to show you a friend who is a believer, someone you can talk to about your new faith.

Ask Him to guide you to a Bible-believing church where you can meet other believers and fellowship with them as you learn more about your faith. 

 

Some suggestions about where to begin in the Bible are: 

To know Jesus read the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

To know more about God read Genesis, Job, Psalms for a start, the whole Old Testament is the story of God’s love for Israel and His desire for all men and women to know Him.

To know what is coming in the future, and from what we see in the world today, it seems like it is coming soon, read Daniel and Revelation. There are many other prophecies in the Old Testament that have yet to be fulfilled regarding the end times.

To learn how to live your new life in Jesus Christ, read the rest the New Testament, letters to the churches from the apostles that explain the Christian life.

 

May God bless you as you learn to trust Him and live for Him.

Three Steps to Salvation and Eternal Life

                 A B C’s of Salvation

A – Acknowledge, admit that you are a sinner

Romans 3:23  … for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, …

Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

B – Believe that Jesus is Lord

John 3:16-18  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 14:6  Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 

C – Call upon the name of the Lord 

Romans 10:9-10  If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Romans 10:13  … “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Mark 9:33-37 Part 1 of 3

    They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.

    Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all."

    He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." 

 

They came to Capernaum.

Matthew 4:13-16

Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali--to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

    "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,

        the way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,

        Galilee of the Gentiles--

    the people living in darkness

        have seen a great light;

    on those living in the land of the shadow of death

        a light has dawned."  (Isaiah 9:1-2)

Mark 1:21-22  

    They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to preach. The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 

Luke 4:31-32  

    Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught the people. They were amazed at his teaching, because his words had authority.

Mark 9:30-32

    They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise." But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask about it. 

 

Matthew 16:21

    From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

Mark 8:31  

    He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.

Luke 9:22  

And he said, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."

Luke 9:43b-45  

    While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, "Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men." But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Luke 18:31-34  

    Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again."

    The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.

John 12:16  

    At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him.

John 14:29  

"I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe."  (see all John 14)

Mark 9:25-29

    When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. "You deaf and mute spirit," he said, "I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."

    The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, "He's dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

    After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"

    He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer." 

 

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. "You deaf and mute spirit," he said, "I command you, come out of him and never enter him again." ... But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

Matthew 17:19-20  

    Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"

    He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 21:21-22  

    Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but you can say to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."  (see Matthew 21:18-22)

Luke 17:6  

    He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you."  (see Luke 17:1-10) 

1 Corinthians 13:2  

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.  (see all 1 Corinthians 13)

Mark 9:19-24

    "You unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me."

    So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

    Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?"

    "From childhood," He answered. "It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."

" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes."

    Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" 

 

"You unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me."

Matthew 17:17

And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.  

(see Romans 11:11-24)

Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.  (see 1 Timothy 1:12-17)

And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

Mark 9:14-18

    When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to meet him.

    "What are you arguing with them about," he asked.

    A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not." 

 

Matthew 17:14-16

    When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. "Lord, have mercy on my son," he said. "He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."

 

Luke 9:37-40  

    The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not."

Mark 9:11-13 Part 2 of 2

   And they asked him, "Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"

    Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him."

"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come."  (see Matthew 11:1-19) 

John 1:20-23  

He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Messiah."

    They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"

    He said, "I am not."

    "Are you the Prophet?"

    He answered, "No."

    Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

    John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.' (Isaiah 40:3)"  (see John 1:15-28)

Matthew 17:12-13  

"But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. (see Matthew 14:1-12) In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
