Mark 12

As a human we must guard against our flesh rising up against the Lord in spiritual matters, trying to control the gospel message of salvation to profit ourselves in piety and riches, while oppressing both the poor in spirit and the needy "widows and orphans" that He so deeply wants to reach. Do not be a roadblock or a stumbling block to the thirsty in spirit! His heart searches the minds and hearts of mankind to know the truth of what they follow and whom they serve. The so-called truth that we live by will either save or judge us someday, as we face Jesus our Messiah and God our Father on Their thrones in eternity. Beware that you are also "not far from the kingdom" but never actually find it. Keep on searching and seeking for the Lord until He is found! Your eternity depends on it!
