DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  MARK 1:14-15

(14)  Now after that John was put in prison,  Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
(15)  And saying,  The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:  repent ye, and believe the gospel.


THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!

(14)  Now after that John was put in prison,  Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God.  Brethren, (i)  John the Baptist, was arrested, put in prison for righteousness sake; (ii)  John the Baptist, spoke against King Herod for doing evil;  King Herod took his brother Philip's wife and married her. (Mark 6:18);  as believers of today, if we hear slandering that may put others in troubles or see any evil works of men taking places right before our eyes;  should we turn deaf ears from hearing evil connotations, pretend like we do not care?  should we see evil being done to others but turn our eyes away with pretense to save our own souls from persecutions?  or should we intervene rightfully on their behalves regardless of what circumstances will prevail against us? John the Baptist stood up for what was righteous was put in prison, eventually was beheaded to please the daughter of Herodias, (Mark 6:27); as believers, are we willing to die for righteousness sake?

Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God;  Jesus, mission started as soon as he came out of the wilderness; he preached the truth of the Kingdom of the Father given unto men; however, as prophesied by John, "he must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30). John's mission was completed as soon as Jesus's ministry started, and that is the reason why King Herod was able to terminate John's life by execution; brethren, regardless of what evil may befall us, as believers, our persecutors are working within the will of the Father, but are not aware of what they do; Jesus said, on the cross Father forgive them for they know not what they do; (Luke 23:34); after evil men  accomplish their evil works, though their works maybe used to fulfill purposes of the Father, they will be punished greatly for working evil against his will and purposes in believers lives; unless they bear fruits of repentance from their evil works, the Father will take vengeance against them. (Romans 12:19).

(15)  And saying,  The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:  repent ye, and believe the gospel.  Jesus preached the gospel of truth about the kingdom of heaven saying; (i)  The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:  at times, when the gospel of the kingdom of Heaven, Second Coming of Jesus Christ is preached; humanity will say, we have heard that before, when will this be, from ages to ages the same messages; brethren, today's phenomenons are fulfilling the prophesies, there are signs of end times occurrences, devastation everywhere, this time around things are falling into places as prophesied in the scriptures, we cannot refute the gospel truth any longer; therefore, let us get ourselves ready to meet with Jesus Christ when trumpets shall sound in heavenly places for his Second Coming to planet earth.  (ii)  repent ye, and believe the gospel. Let us show remorse for all wrong doings, despite facts that Christ already died on the cross to pay for all our transgressions; if we continue to deliberately walk in ungodliness but do not show any fruits of repentance, we rebel against the Father, for we know what is wrong but continue in ungodliness anyways because Christ already died to pay for all our past, present, future sins; therefore, we are under grace, Yes we are under grace!  but grace is not a license to walk in unrighteousness rather grace is given to believers to walk in faith through the righteousness of Christ our Lord and Savior; therefore, brethren, let us bear fruits of repentance, believe the gospel, salvation, life everlasting.

Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans, asked this question, What then?  shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? (Romans 6:15);  brethren, we were all sinners by nature through the seed of Adam before we receive Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior and are born again; therefore, let us bring forth fruits worthy of repentance, (Luke 3:8);  walk in righteousness, believe the gospel truth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  Jesus is a son of the Father, born in flesh, to introduce the kingdom of heaven unto earth, at the end of his ministry, he suffered for sins he did not committed, died on the cross of Calvary to take away all iniquities of men, went into the grave to set the captives free from bondage of Satan, resurrected on the third day from his grave, ascended into heaven and seated on right hand of the Father as an advocate for humanity; today, we are joint heirs with him in eternity.


CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, Jesus is coming soon, his second coming is at hand, let us be ready for him; let us show remorse for all wrong doings; though he already paid the price for all our transgressions, let us not transgress no more, but rather keep on walking by faith in his righteousness; let us bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2);  Are we ready for Christ's Second Coming?  If not, let us be ready, it could be this moment, today, tomorrow, very, very soon Jesus is coming. Amen and amen!


QUOTE OF THE DAY:

(KJV.)  Ephesians 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in  him:
