Subject: [5amcall] Mark 9-10

    ³⁹But Jesus said, Do not restrain or hinder or forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in My name will soon afterward be able to speak evil of Me.

Miracles can help you stay focused on Jesus!

    ⁴¹For I tell you truly, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to and bear the name of Christ will by no means fail to get his reward.

Is this talking about a temporal reward only, or suggesting that to acknowledge the Christ as Lord in even this simple way demonstrates faith enough to make it?

²⁹Jesus said, Truly I tell you, there is no one who has given up and left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for My sake and for the Gospel's
    ³⁰Who will not receive a hundred times as much now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life.

With persecutions. Hmm. So sowing and reaping isn't that straightforward then!

    ³⁴And they will mock Him and spit on Him, and whip Him and put Him to death; but after three days He will rise again [^[at]from death].

He knew all of that, and chose to go into it for me.
