Mark 12:1-27 "And he began to speak unto them..." KJV - Online Bible Study

Mark 12:1-27 "And he began to speak unto them..." KJV - Online Bible Study And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen,and went into a far country . 2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they caught him, and beathim, and sent him away empty. 4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones , and wounded him in the head , and sent him away shamefully handled . 5 And againhe sent another; and him they killed , and many others ; beating some , and killing some . 6Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying , They willreverence my son. 7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come , let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. 8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him outof the vineyard. 9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do ? he will come and destroy thehusbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 10 And have ye not read this scripture; Thestone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 11 This was the Lord's doing ,and it is marvellous in our eyes? 12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: forthey knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way . 13And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.14 And when they were come , they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carestfor no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is itlawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we give , or shall we not give ? But he, knowingtheir hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. 16 Andthey brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they saidunto him, Caesar's. 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that areCaesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 18 Then come untohim the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying , 19 Master,Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die , and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children,that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 20 Now there were sevenbrethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died ,neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last ofall the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise , whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. 24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye nottherefore err , because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry , nor are given in marriage ; but are as the angelswhich are in heaven. 26 And as touching the dead, that they rise : have ye not read in the book ofMoses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying , I am the God of Abraham, and the God ofIsaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living : yetherefore do greatly err .

INTENTION
With determination and faith, I create a life I love.

What is my intention today? What do I want to feel and experience over the next 24 hours? As I begin to probe these questions, I connect with Spirit in oneness and gratitude. I visualize the day ahead--who will I see and what actions will I take? Then I consider what qualities I will demonstrate and what attitude I will hold. Will I be patient, adventurous, loving?

Life is made up of the choices I make, the love I give and receive, and the faith I hold every moment of every day. If I have been waiting for "someday" to come, I stop waiting and make the decision to live fully and freely right now. I set the intention to live a life I love--and I start today.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. --Psalm 119:105

Mark 10:32-52 "And they were in the way going..." KJV - Online Bible Study

Mark 10:32-52 "And they were in the way going..." KJV - Online Bible Study And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they wereamazed ; and as they followed , they were afraid . And he took again the twelve, and began to tellthem what things should happen unto him, 33 Saying, Behold , we go up to Jerusalem; and theSon of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemnhim to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourgehim, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again . 35 AndJames and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying , Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire . 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that Ishould do for you? 37 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit , one on thy right hand,and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of ? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ?39 And they said unto him, We can . And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cupthat I drink of ; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized : 40 But to sit onmy right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give ; but it shall be given to them for whom it isprepared . 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted torule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority uponthem. 43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be yourminister: 44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45 For even theSon of man came not to be ministered unto , but to minister , and to give his life a ransom formany. 46 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a greatnumber of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging . 47And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out , and say , Jesus, thou Sonof David, have mercy on me. 48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace : but hecried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 49 And Jesus stood still , andcommanded him to be called . And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort ,rise ; he calleth thee. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose , and came to Jesus. 51 AndJesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee ? The blind man saidunto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight . 52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way ; thy faithhath made thee whole . And immediately he received his sight , and followed Jesus in the way.

NO REGRETS
I love the life I live now.

To live without regrets requires the discipline of awareness, the compassion to forgive and the courage to change. I am aware of my true nature--that I am a spiritual being, loved and guided by the Divine Infinite. Anytime I feel I have failed to be my best self, I remember that I am learning to live and love at the highest level of my soul's wisdom. I ask Spirit to reveal what I might change to move closer to being my best self. I then ask for the courage to make that change.

Knowing I am doing my best, I have compassion for myself. As I learn to forgive myself, I find it easier to forgive others. I am at peace with the path that has brought me to this place of understanding. I have no regrets, and I love the life I live now.

For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light.--Ephesians 5:8
