Mark 2:1–2: And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.
The ministry of our Lord was to preach the Word of God, and that is the emphasis that we feel should be made today. It is the emphasis upon the Word of God, upon the integrity and inerrancy of the Word of God. My prayer for myself in this connection is, “Oh, God, give me more confidence in the Word of God.” I see what it is doing today in hearts and lives, and I know what it has done for me. As a result, I should have even more confidence than I have. I’ll be very frank with you; sometimes I wonder whether it is going to have any influence in any heart or life. I must confess that I don’t have the faith that I should have. We must remember that this is the Word of God and it will never return unto Him void. So I rejoice to read here that our Lord preached the Word unto them. 1
Your Word is Truth
What has Jesus been preaching to you lately from His Word? Have you been listening to Him? Do you hear His voice throughout the day? Do you obey immediately?
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. –Isaiah 55:11
You Alone are God
Two things from earth live eternal: His Word and your life. Invest wisely. – TWEET IT
Your Will be Done
Lord, thank You for faithfully leading me with Your Word, and by Your Spirit.
