Mark
10
14 When Jesus saw what was happening,
he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, "Let the children
come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are
like these children.15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't
receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it."16 Then
he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and
blessed them.
42 So Jesus called them together and
said, "You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their
people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them.43 But
among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be
your servant,44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the
slave of everyone else.45 For even the Son of Man came not to be
served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Mark
11
22 Then Jesus said to the disciples, "Have
faith in God.23 I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain,
'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you
must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart.24 I
tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received
it, it will be yours.25 But when you are praying, first forgive
anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will
forgive your sins, too."
Jesus calls us into childlike faith and commitment. He
wants you to belief in Him like a child, with all your heart and without any
doubt. Like children we must also take our place in the back taking away any
feelings of importance but rather become more like servants. It is in this
serving that we can truly display the love of God, because God has send His
only son to become a servant to the world. We must put ourselves last. Jesus
mentions that with faith we will be able to move mountains. He says that if you
believe that you received it, it will be yours.
For the glory of God is
displayed in our lives through the many amazing things that God provides for
us. In every moment and in everything is God’s will and blessing.
Let us give
glory to God by becoming like children in humbling ourselves before God and
truly believing in Him and just have faith.
To God be all the glory.
