Today's Reading From Mark 7.1-13
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 7.1-23
The Pharisees again challenged Jesus, the Perfect Servant about his disciples eating without unwashed hands. The asked him why the disciples did not follow the traditions of the elders and not washed their hands. Jesus gave a quote from Isaiah 29.13, and gave them examples of how they say one thing but did something else, in this case honoring their parents. They had external form of religion based on traditions that did not reflect an inward change. He gave a parable about what cause sin, it was not what a person ate but rather what came out of his heart. Many of us today, even as Christians can get trapped by a formalism by which we may talk like a Christian and act like a Christian, live in a Christian environment but may not really experience a rebirth in our lives. We may talk the talk but have not walk the walk We should remember what Paul said in 2Cor 5.17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

Today's Reading From Mark 6.1-29
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 6:30-56 with Commentaries, verse by verse
The passage deals with the feeding of the five thousand. Mark 6.32-44; Matt 14.13-21; Luke 9.10-17; John 6.5-13 and Jesus walking on the water. Mark 6.45-51; Matt 14.32-32; Joh 6.15-21. Both were miracles over nature. An object lesson can be learnt about this miracle. God uses the small things of the world for his glorey. This is the spiritual principle that we need to learn and understand. God asked Moses what was in his hand? He is asking us what do we have in our hand available for his service. Moses had a staff to conquer a king, David had a slingshot with five small stones, and this boy was willing to give Jesus his lunch of loaves and fish. We may feel insignificant in our lives, we feel that we are not worth anything. But God can use something small and make it big. For instance, recently we read about the partable of the mustard seed, even though it was the smallest seed when fully grown it is the largest of the plants found in the garden.
The second miracle is Jesus walking on the water. We need to remember when Jesus say to his disciple when they saw him walking on the water during the storm. "Take courage, It is I, Don't be afraid." Life seems impossible at times, with overwhelming problems, debts to pay illnesses to cope with. We need to remember these very words that Jesus told his disciples. It is sad to read in verse 52 that theier hearts were hardened beause the did not understand the loaves.

Today's Reading From Mark 6.1-29
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 6:1-29 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Mark 6.1-6; Mat 13.54-58
When Jesus returned to his hometown of Nazareth to teach in the synagogue. People who knew him and his family from childhood began to question his wisdom, ability or understanding in teaching. They had lack faith. It is hardest to be a good witness to the family and friends that you grow uo with because they think they know you. I am speaking from personal experience being a christian in a non -christian home, it's very difficult to be a shining testimony because they think they know more than you do and have reared you from childhood.
Jesus sends out the twelve
Mark 6.7-11; Mat 10.1, 9-14; Luke 9.1, 3-5
It was comforting for the disciples to know the mission Jesus sent them with authority over evil spirits. They had preached and drove out many demons and healed many people. Notice he spoke about the receptivity of the people Jesus instructed them about. Either there will be those who welcome those carry the gospel or there will be a rejection of the Message and the messengers. What about you when you hear the Gospel mesage do you accept it or reject it? The choice is up to you. But beware if you reject the Gospel, you will have no one but yourself to blame when you pay the consequence.
The Death of John the Baptist
Matthew 14:1-12; Mark 6:14-29; Luke 9:7-9
Links to images of Salome/Herod/the Death of John the Baptist
John the Baptist told Herod not to marry Herodias, his brother Philip's wife so Herod put him in prison, Herodias had a grudge against John and wanted him dead. Herod knew John was a man of God and feared him. There was a banquet where Salome, Herodias'daughter danced, and this pleased John and his guests. He made this rash promise with a vow that she could ask for anything, up to half his kingdon. She went to her mother. Herodias had the opportune time and told Salome to ask for the head of John the Baptist. When Herod heard this he could not refuse her because of the guests and the oath he had made. What can we learn from this? We should not be driven by our desires, make rash promises so that we cannot back out of them if we change our minds.

Today's Reading From Mark 5:21-43
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Bible Commentaries for Today's Reading Verse by Verse: Mark 5:21-43
This passage is also in Matthew 9:18-26; Luke 8:41-56
Jesus, the Perfect Servant, in this passage of Mark raised Jairus' daughter healed the woman who was subject to bleeding. Jairus sent some servants to ask Jesus to heal his daughter. On the way to Jairus' house, a woman suffering from bleeding for many years, saw him and had FAITH. She thought if I touched him I would be healed. She touched Him and she was healed immediately. One of the most astounding questions in the Bible is when Jesus said "Who touched me?" What a question! Of course many people were there and had touched Him. But Jesus kept looking around and he saw this woman, came to him trembling, fell at his feet. What about you? Whatever your problem whether it is a physical ailment or a spiritual one, you can touch Him and have Him touch you.

Some servants came and told Jesus when he was talking to the woman that Jairus' daughter had died. They told Hum not to come. But Jesus said "Do not be afraid; just believe." He took Peter, James and John with Him to Jairus' house. At the house he told the people that she was only sleeping. Little did they knew that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life. He raised from the dead and told them not to tell anyone what happened and gave her something to eat.

Today's Reading From Mark 5:1-20
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 5.1-20
In Mark 5.1-20, They went across the lake to the region of Gerasenes, 5 miles southeast of the Sea of Galilee. This area was inhabited by Gentiles because there were large herds of pigs. A man came running to Jesus, he was demon-possessed, he lived in the tombs and no one could restrain him even with chains. No one could subdue him. He would cry out night and day and cut himself with stones. His name was Legion, because he had many demons living in him. Before Jesus exorcised the demons, there was a herd of pigs, nearby. Jesus gave the demons permission to come out of Legions and go into the pigs of the nearby hill. The herd of two thousand pigs rushed down the steep bank and were drowned. The pig farmers saw this and told people in the town and the countryside what happened to Legion and to their pigs. They came to see Jesus and was afraid of him and they asked him to leave. He told the man, Legion, who was demon-possessed to "go home to your family and tell what wonderful things the Lord has done for you and the mercy he had given you." Legion, would have gladly gone with Jesus but he wanted him to stay there to share with them what he did.
What about us? We should be a witness to our family and friends and tell what the Lord has done for us. He forgave us of our sins, and given us his mercy. We should also remember that Jesus had authority over demons, and he gave us this authority as well (Mark 16.15-18). Some people will not accept the good news and were not sympathetic to Legion, especially when they lost their livelihood.

Today's Reading From Mark 4:21-41
The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 4.21-41 with Commentaries, verse by verse
In Mark 4.26-32, Jesus spoke of two parables about the Kingdom, the first was the parable of the seed, where when the seeds were planted and grew and the man who planted it could explain how they grew. That is the way it is in the Kingdom, it is natural growth, provided that the seeds are rooted in good soils and have water, sunlight and nourishment. The second parable is about the mustard seed, which is the smallest seed but when planted and fully grown is the largest plant. This is a spiritual lesson to be learnt here, that there is paradoxes in the Christian life, that the smallest will be the largest, the first shall be last, the humble shall be lifted and so on.
In Mark 4.35-41, the disciples and Jesus got caught in a furious squall and the disciples were afraid. Jesus was asleep in the boat! They waked Him and asked Him if He did not care if they drowned. What a question they asked the Lord!! He calm the waters and said to them "Why are you afraid, where is your faith?" When we tend to doubt God in the storm of life, let us remember how Jesus rescued them in this squall!

Mark 4.1-20 with Commentaries, verse by verse
the parable is also found in Mat 13.1-15; luke 8.6-10; Mark 4.1-12
and the interpretaion found in Mark 4.13-20; Mat 13.18-23; Luke 8.11-15
In Mark 4, Jesus gave the parable of the sower. The message behind the parable is the fruitfulness of the seed planted in the soil in which the seed was planted. There are three elements here. First is the sower, then the seed and finally the soils. The things that remain constant here are the sower and the seed. There is the soil that had birds came and ate it up, then rocky ground, some fell among thorns and then the rest fell on good soils.
In v. 9 He said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear" what he meant was that the Spirit enables those he chooses to hear ands understand the message. He had spoken to them in parables. Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meaning but if you have spiritual understanding by the Holy Spirit you will understand the meaning.

Today's reading Matthew 26:51-75
Jesus is betrayed and arrested: (Matthew 26.47-55; Mark 14.43-53; Luke 22.47-53; John 18.1-11)
Jesus told his disciples to put away their sword. Peter had cut off the ears of Malchus the high priest's servant
Caiaphas questions Jesus (Matthew 26.57-68; Mark 14.53-65). There were many false witnesses and one of the six trials that Jesus would have to face.
Peter denied Jesus three times (Matthew 26.69-75; Mark 14.66-72; Luke 22.54-65; John 18.25-27).
All four gospels had the account of Peter denying Jesus three times.
Application
What would you have done if you were in Peter's position? Would you have become in rash in the heat of the moment and forgot who Jesus was and cut off the ear of Malchus? Would you have denied Jesus three times? Jesus knows the heart of boastful Peter? What about us today? Would be deny Jesus so that we would save our lives? Let us not be quick to say, I will follow you and die for you, but prayerfully asked the Lord for strength to stand up for him on that day.
