Jesus Explains What He Meant

January 26, 2022

From today’s reading…

When he was alone, the Twelve, together with the others who formed his company, asked what the parables meant.” Mark 4:10

There are times when Jesus takes the time to explain what He meant so His followers could understand, grow in their faith, and help spread His Good News.

There are other times—see John 6—when He does not spend any additional time explaining what He meant because He said it clearly, those who heard Him, He knew that they heard Him, and He allowed them to make a choice as to whether they wanted to follow Him despite His difficult message, or turn away from Him and remain in the world.

You have ears so you should listen (Mark 4:9).

Dive into His Word.

Surround yourself with wise men and women who can help you understand what you have read.

Then live out what you have been told by the Son of God, which is the only way to…

Stay the course.Keep the faith.Endure.

Now go sell something.
