This article is written to let you know the Words of Jesus are the Words of God. Heaven and earth will pass away, the Words of Jesus will never pass away.
Mat 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.”
Note: Pass away in Greek is parerchomai which means which means to pass by; to pass over; to go away; to go past; to perish; to be carried past; to come aside; to avert; to neglect; to end; to come to nothing; to go out of existence; – which occurs 46 times in the New Testament. The human knowledge or so-called science is only good for existence on earth. For example, medicine however inaccurate is useful in the world, for that reasons corrupt and crooked doctors in America hold patients hostage and overcharge and defraud them as much as they please with immunity. I want you to know medicine will be no use in Heaven or Hell. There will be no sick people in Heaven, so medicine will be useless. Medical knowledge will pass away. Medicine will not help in Hell, for people in Hell will suffer for eternity, medicine is useless to them where ’THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’ Even doctors cannot help themselves there. Why am I so stupid to study the works and words of mortal theologians, philosophers, scholars, scientists — whose works and words will pass away any way.
The most pitiful are those who follow the false teacher John Calvin who believed God predestined them to go to Hell. Why would I spend my whole life to study Karl Barth to conclude his teachings and works are false and contrary to the Holy Bible? Who cares about his reappropriation of the Christology? I wrote a Textbook on Christology based on the Scriptures and it was cataloged in the Library of Congress. There is no such a thing called social righteousness, only the righteousness of God who justifies sinners on the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ. There is no Reformed Theology, only Biblical Theology. It is enough when Barth said the Bible is not the Word of God, but contains the Word of God. By this I already know he is a false teacher. A servant of Christ should not be ‘ tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming.’ or tossed about by the wind of theology. The word of man does not matter.
2Pe 3:7, “But by His Word the present Heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”
Note: By the Word of God the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:10, “But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the Heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.”
Note: It is most likely nuclear fire which creates intense heat that will melt the elements and burn up all the works on the earth including 2010 skyscraper in Dubai (Burj Khalifa), Tokyo Skytree, Shanghai Tower, and New York City’s One World Trade Center, etc.
2Pe 3:13, “But according to His promise we are looking for NEW Heavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
Note: Wonderful is God’s promise to create new Heavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells. I am sure the New Earth includes the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
I do not have a supercomputer to sort out the Words of Jesus from the New Testament, it is all done manually. The list is not exhaustive, but it is comprehensive. I am aware of almost all the problems involved in this project. But I lay the Words of Jesus counted in verses before you without any comment when unnecessary. Let us pay attention to Jesus WHO speaks for Himself. The Words of Jesus are the Sayings of Jesus. The Words of Jesus are the Words of God. We should memorize the Words of Jesus and keep them in our hearts. When Jesus speaks, God speaks. It does not require any man to make comment or interpretation. It is wise to read in full context under what situation Jesus speaks and to whom He speaks. For example, Jesus never said “ladies and gentlemen.” Jhn 7:46, “Never has a man spoken the way this Man speaks.” If you master and memorize the Words of Jesus in your heart and mind, it will be well with you.
JESUS’ WORDS ARE TRUE.
JESUS’ WORDS HAVE POWER.
JESUS’ WORDS HAVE LIFE.
JESUS’ WORDS MATTER.
JESUS’ WORDS ARE ETERNAL.
The following are the Words of Jesus Christ in 1,618 verses:
It is not enough that you MASTER and MEMORIZE the Words of Jesus. For example, “Follow Me.” You have to memorize “Mar 2:14, “Follow Me!” It is up to your ability and determination how many verses you are able to memorize in a day and to be added in a year. If you memorize 5 Verses of Jesus’ Words a day, you can finish in less than a year.
1. Mat 4:4, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’”
2. Mat 4:7, “On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”
3. Mat 4:10, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”
4. Mat 4:17, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
5. Mat 4:19, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
6. Mat 5:3, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Note: Poor in spirit means a humble spirit, like the tax collector (Luk 18:13).
7. Mat 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
8. Mat 5:5, “Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.”
9. Mat 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
10. Mat 5:7, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”
11. Mat 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
12. Mat 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
13. Mat 5:10, “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
14. Mat 5:11, “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.”
15. Mat 5:12, “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in Heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
16. Mat 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.”
Note: Jesus declares Christians are the salt of the earth.
17. Mat 5:14, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;”
Note: Christians are the light of the world.
18. Mat 5:15, “nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.”
19. Mat 5:16, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.”
Note: The good works of Christians glorify God.
20. Mat 5:17, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
21. Mat 5:18, “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”
22. Mat 5:19, “Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Note: The cults use this verse to confuse Christians and demand them to observe the Law of Moses in keeping circumcision and the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for the Jews and circumcision was a covenant between God and the descendants of Abraham. Act 15:5, “But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses. “ Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, Christians are under the grace. Col 2:16-17, “Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” Rom 2:29, “But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.” 1Co 7:19, “Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.” Gal 4:9-11, “But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.” Phl 3:3, “for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh.” Remember, the Jewish Sabbath is not replaced by Sunday.
23. Mat 5:20, “For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
24. Mat 6:28, “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin.”
25. Mat 8:3, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
26. Mat 8:20, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
27. Mat 8:22, “Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.” Note: Sinners are spiritually dead, so the dead can bury their own dead.
28. Mat 9:28, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
Note: Believe in Jesus Christ is to believe that He is able to save you and more.
29. Mat 11:25, “I praise You, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.”
30. Mat 11:29, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.”
31. Mat 12:5, “Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?”
32. Mat 12:8, “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Note: The Son of Man is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
33. Mat 12:11, “What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?”
34. Mat 12:12, “How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
35. Mat 12:25, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.”
36. Mat 15:16, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?”
37. Mat 15:28, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.”
38. Mat 16:6, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Note: Beware in Greek is prosechō which means to give heed to; to take heed to; to take heed; to turn the mind to; to be attentive; to give attention to; to devote thought and effort to; to be cautious about; to guard oneself; – which occurs 34 times in the New Testament. Leaven in Greek is zymē which means mental and moral corruption, viewed in its tendency to infect others (Strong’s Concordance); a pernicious influence; even a few false teachers lead the whole church into error; – which occurs 13 times in the New Testament.
39. Mat 16:17, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.”
Note: No one can know God by any means, flesh and blood cannot find God. God reveals Himself through Jesus Christ. So Christianity is the revealed religion.
40. Mat 16:24, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”
Note: Deny oneself in Greek is aparneomai which means to forget oneself; to lose sight of oneself and one’s interest; to disown; to abstain; – which occurs 11 times in the New Testament. Christian discipleship is just the opposite how American politicians seek power by all means. Even if there are no votes, you got to find votes. American leaders and politicians all benefit financially by their participation in government and politics. The fastest way to become rich is to become the president of the United States. All high ranking officials also get rich. To deny oneself is to disown oneself; to take up the cross is to suffer. So to follow Jesus Christ one has to deny himself and take up his cross to suffer for Christ.
41. Mat 19:14, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”
Note: It does not mean all children go to Heaven. I believe aborted infants go to Heaven. Accursed children are children of the devil do not go to Heaven. Christians must have the simplicity of faith like children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. You cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven as President, Prime Minister, King, Queen, Cabinet Minister, Professor, Prince, Princess, etc. But you may enter as prostitute, pimp, pygmy, peasant, etc.
42. Mat 19:18, “YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;”
Note: These are commandments that God does not want you to do. They are prohibitive.
43. Mat 19:21, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”
Note: People of the world have treasure on earth, Christians have treasure in Heaven.
44. Mat 19:23, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
45. Mat 19:24, “Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
46. Mat 19:26, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Note: With God all things are possible so do not think or act God has problems. Unlike man, God does not have problems. What is impossible with man, it is possible with God.
47. Mat 19:28, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Note: The time is coming when Jesus Christ will sit on His glorious throne, and His twelve Apostles shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
48. Mat 19:30, “But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.”
49. Mat 20:1, “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.”
50. Mat 20:4, “‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’
51. Mat 20:6, “ ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’
52. Mat 20:7, “‘You go into the vineyard too.’
53. Mat 20:13, “ ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?”
54. Mat 20:14, ‘Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.”
55. Mat 20:15, ‘Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?’
56. Mat 20:16, “So the last shall be first, and the first last.”
57. Mat 20:18, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,”
58. Mat 20:19, “and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.”
59. Mat 20:22, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”
60. Mat 20:23, “My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”
61. Mat 20:25, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.”
62. Mat 20:26, “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,”
63. Mat 20:27, “and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;”
64. Mat 20:28, “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
65. Mat 20:32, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
66. Mat 21:2, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.”
67. Mat 21:3, “If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
68. Mat 21:13, “It is written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER’; but you are making it a ROBBERS’ DEN.”
69. Mat 21:16, “Yes; have you never read, ‘OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIESYOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF’?”
70. Mat 21:19, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.”
71. Mat 21:21, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen.”
72. Mat 21:22, “And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
73. Mat 21:25, “The baptism of John was from what source, from Heaven or from men?”
74. Mat 21:28, “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard.’
75. Mat 21:31, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you.
Note: If tax collectors and prostitutes truly believe and repent, they will get into the Kingdom of God before the self-righteous people.
76. Mat 21:42, “Did you never read in the Scriptures,
‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone;
THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD,
AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES‘?”
77. Mat 21:43, “Therefore I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.”
78. Mat 21:44, “And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
79. Mat 23:3, “Therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.”
80. Mat 22:2, “The Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.”
81. Mat 22:3, “And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.”
82. Mat 22:4, “Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’
83. Mat 22:13, “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
84. Mat 22:14, “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
85. Mat 22:18, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?”
86. Mat 22:19, “Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax.”
87. Mat 22:20, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
88. Mat 22:21, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
Note: Jesus Christ divides the things of Caesar and the things of God. Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s. America is not a Christian nation, it is bad that its leaders and politicians pretend to be Christians.
89. Mat 22:29, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
Note: The truth is clear: People are mistaken for either/or/or both reasons: they do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. Scientists and philosophers err because they do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God.
90. Mat 22:30, “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Note: The children of God in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven. I believe also the children of the devil in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but suffer eternally in Hell.
91. Mat 22:31,“But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:”
92. Mat 22:32, ‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
93. Mat 22:37, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOURGOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
94. Mat 22:38, “This is the great and foremost commandment.”
95. Mat 22:39, “The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
96. Mat 22:40, “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
97. Mat 22:42, “What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?”
98. Mat 22:43, “Then how does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,”
99. Mat 22:44, ‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,
“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET”’?
100. Mat 22:45, “If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”
101. Mat 23:2, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;”
102. Mat 23:3, “therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.”
103. Mat 23:4, “They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.”
104. Mat 23:5, “But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.”
105. Mat 23:6, “They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,”
106. Mat 23:7, “and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.”
107. Mat 23:8, “But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.”
108. Mat 23:9, “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in Heaven.”
109. Mat 23:10, “Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.”
110. Mat 23:11, “But the greatest among you shall be your servant.”
111. Mat 23:12, “Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”
112. Mat 23:13, “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the Kingdom of Heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”
113. Mat 23:14, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.”
114. Mat 23:15, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Hell as yourselves.”
115. Mat 23:16, “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’
116. Mat 23:17, “You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?”
117. Mat 23:19, “You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?”
118. Mat 23:20, “Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.”
119. Mat 23:21, “And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it.”
120. Mat 23:22, “And whoever swears by Heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.”
121. Mat 23:23, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.”
122. Mat 23:24, “You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!”
123. Mat 23:25, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.”
124. Mat 23:26, “You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.”
125. Mat 23:27, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.”
126. Mat 23:28, “So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”
Note: A hypocrite is one who outwardly appears righteous to men, but inwardly he is full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
127. Mat 23:29, “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,”
128. Mat 23:31, “So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.”
129. Mat 23:32, “Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.”
130. Mat 23:33, “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of Hell?”
Note: Who says Jesus Christ speaks kindly to the wicked? Jesus calls scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, serpents and brood of vipers! How will they escape the sentence of Hell? Those American presidents and politicians who claimed to be Christians and yet they lied, killed, and robbed many nations and peoples, how will they escape the sentence of Hell?
131. Mat 23:34, “Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,”
132. Mat 23:35, “so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.”
133. Mat 23:36, “Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.”
134. Mat 23:37, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.”
135. Mat 23:38, “Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!”
136. Mat 23:39, “For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’”
137. Mat 24:2, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”
138. Mat 24:4, “See to it that no one misleads you.”
139. Mat 24:5, “For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.”
140. Mat 24:6, “You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.”
141. Mat 24:7, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in many places there will be famines and earthquakes.”
Note: According to Infoplease
“World War II was the last war fought in which the President asked Congress for a declaration of war. Since then, United States armed forces have been in combat several times, including the following:
| 1950-1953 Korean War | Communist North Korea, supported by China, invades non-communist South Korea. UN forces, principally made up of U.S. troops, fight to protect South Korea. The Korean War is the first armed conflict in the global struggle between democracy and communism, called the Cold War. |
| 1961 Cuba | The U.S. orchestrates the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion, an unsuccessful attempt by Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro’s communist regime in Cuba. |
| 1961-1973 Vietnam War | In 1955, communist North Vietnam invades non-communist South Vietnam in an attempt to unify the country and impose communist rule. The United States joins the war on the side of South Vietnam in 1961, but withdraws combat troops in 1973. In 1975 North Vietnam succeeds in taking control of South Vietnam.

| 2001-Present Afghanistan | The Taliban government harbored Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda terrorist group, responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. After Afghanistan refused to turn over Bin Laden, the U.S. and UN coalition forces invaded. The Taliban government was ousted and many terrorist camps in Afghanistan were destroyed. Thereafter, the Taliban begin regrouping. By 2005, the Taliban and coalition troops are it was engaged in ongoing clashes with coalition troops. The year 2006 was the deadliest year for U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001. On May 2, 2011 (May 1 in the U.S.), U.S. troops and CIA operatives shot and killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. May 1, 2012, President Obama and President Karzai signed the Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States of America. The Agreement provides for the possibility of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 2014, for the purposes of training Afghan Forces and targeting the remnants of al-Qaeda. Afghanistan will be a Major Non-NATO Ally and as such, the U.S. will support the training, equipping, advising and sustaining of Afghan National Security Forces, and social and economic assistance.Despite plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, ongoing instability (and continued U.S. interest in the region) has led to the U.S. remaining heavily involved. There is still no clear end in sight, as the Taliban has resumed offensive operations as of March 2020. |

They began a widespread propaganda campaign to cultivate domestic terrorism in other countries and to recruit new members. The United States and other NATO allies began a long campaign to contain and reverse the spread of ISIL.By 2018, ISIL no longer held any territory in Iraq, and severely declined in Syria. The United States continued airstrikes against the Assad regime as well as against the remaining ISIL holdouts. These airstrikes, by March 2019, contributed to ISIL losing all of its remaining territory. In October 2019 a US airstrike caused the death of ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. |

149. Mat 24:15, “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),”
Note: The Abomination of Desolation is another name for the Anti-christ.
150. Mat 24:16, “then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.”
151. Mat 24:17, “Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.”
152. Mat 24:18, “Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.”
153. Mat 24:19, “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”
154. Mat 24:20, “But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.”
155. Mat 24:21, “For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.”
156. Mat 24:22, “Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.”
Note: The elect are children of God.
157. Mat 24:23, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or There He is,’ do not believe him.”
158. Mat 24:24, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”
159. Mat 24:25, “Behold, I have told you in advance.”
160. Mat 24:26, “So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.”

163. Mat 24:29, “But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the Heavens will be shaken.”
164.Mat 24:30, “And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.”
165. Mat 24:31, “And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.”
166. Mat 24:32, “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;”
167. Mat 24:33, “so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”
168. Mat 24:34, “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
Note: A generation is about 30 or 40 years. According to https://www.bible-history.com/jerusalem/firstcenturyjerusalem_destruction_of_jerusalem_in_70_a_d_.html
“The Destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD
The Roman army numbered 30,000; while the Jewish army numbered 24,000. According to Tacitus they were 600,000 visitors crowding the streets of Jerusalem for the Passover. After five months the walls were battered down, the great Temple was burned down, and the city was left ruined and desolate, except for Herod’s three great towers at the northwest corner of the city. These served as a memorial of the massive strength of Jerusalem’s fortifications which Titus of Rome had brought to rubble.” The destruction of Jerusalem took place long ago. Do not confuse the destruction of Jerusalem with the second coming of Christ which has not yet taken place.
169. Mat 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
170. Mat 24:36, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
Note: Jesus spoke this of His second coming while He was on earth before He was exalted. When Jesus rose from the dead, near the moment of His ascension He said, Mat 28:18, “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth.” By this I believe Jesus already knows that day and hour of His second coming. In the last book of Revelation, Rev 22:20, the last written Word of Jesus, “He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
171. Mat 24:37, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.”
172. Mat 24:38, “For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,”
173. Mat 24:39, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
174. Mat 24:40, “Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.”
175. Mat 24:41, “Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.”
Note: This cannot be interpreted that half of the population will be saved.
176. Mat 24:42, “Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.”
177. Mat 24:43, “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.”
178. Mat 24:44, “For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.”
179. Mat 24:45, “Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?”
180. Mat 24:46, “Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.”
181. Mat 24:47, “Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
182. Mat 24:48, “But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is not coming for a long time,’”
183. Mat 24:49, “and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;”
184. Mat 24:50, “the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,”
185. Mat 24:51, “and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
186. Mat 25:1, “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.”
187. Mat 25:2, “Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.”
Note: You must not interpret half of the people are foolish and half are prudent.
188. Mat 25:3, “For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,”
Note: Lamps without oil are useless. Faith without repentance is useless. To have a Christian in name without the Holy Spirit is useless.
189. Mat 25:4, “but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.”
Note: The prudent does what the prudent does. The prudent does what is necessary.
190. Mat 25:5, “Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.”
Note: The weakness of the flesh to get drowsy and begin to sleep. To sleep is not to know what is happening.
191. Mat 25:6, “But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’”
192. Mat 25:7, “Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.”
Note: Christians must be alert all the time; trim your lamp white the world is dark, the night is far spent.
193. Mat 25:8, “The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Note: The foolish is always unprepared and irresponsible. They are the ones who ask for charity.
194. Mat 25:9, “But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’”
Note: Do not give is what is not enough for you to others. That is not charity but stupidity. You cannot give away what you need to others.
195. Mat 25:10, “And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.”
Note: What you must do, you must do when there is time. You must be ready all the time. Or the door will be shut to you.
196. Mat 25:11, “Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’”
Note: When the door is shut, there is no open us. Get saved while you can, before it is too late.
197. Mat 25:12, “But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’”
Note: The day is coming when the supremacists, imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, monopolists, hegemonists, militarists, terrorists, oppressors, dictators, suppressors, warmongers, aggressors, who claims to be Christians will cry out, Lord, Lord, open up for us. The Lord will answer, Truly I say to you, I do not know you. ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.”
198. Mat 25:13, “Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.”
199. Mat 25:14, “For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.”
200. Mat 25:15, “To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.”
Note: God gives each believer gifts according to his own ability. God’s gifts must be used for the glory of God and benefit of mankind. I am what I am by the grace of God.
201. Mat 25:16, “Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.”
Note: It does not mean God approves Western greedy capitalism. In this world proper banking and trade are necessary. We Christians must be productive, bear fruits for God. We serve God, not Money, Power, and Sex.
202. Mat 25:17, “In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.”
Note: To get and to gain may be different. For example, Wall Street executives and bankers and many corrupt doctors get deceptive wages or earnings. The wicked wants to get, get, and get. The righteous gains by productivity, hard work and frugality.
203. Mat 25:18, “But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.”
Note: Christians cannot bury the gifts of God or resources entrusted to us. That means we must bear fruits for God. To do good and to do right is to bear fruit for God.
204. Mat 25:19, “Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.”
Note: Our Master Lord Jesus will come to settle accounts with His disciples. European and American supremacists and (Japanese) who had done so much evil in this world and to this day who claim to be Christians, how do you settle accounts with the Judge of the Living and Dead?
205. Mat 25:20, “The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’”
206. Mat 25:21, “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your Master.’”
Note: There are preachers or evangelists who are so proud and declare, Do you know who I am? True ministers of Jesus Christ are good and faithful slaves.
207. Mat 25:22, “Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.’”
208. Mat 25:23, “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’”
209. Mat 25:24, “And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.”
Note: A bad slave slanders his Master. Preachers who commit corruption and sexual immorality slander the Master.
210. Mat 25:25, “And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’
Note: Corrupt and immoral preachers have a lot to be afraid, and yet many regard as their glory.
211. Mat 25:26, “But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed.”
Note: If wicked and lazy slave cannot stand before the Master, how will the greedy and immoral preachers do?
212. Mat 25:27, “Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.”
Note: Earning interest from the bank is an approved Scriptural practice. But today American banks almost pay zero interest for your $15,000 deposit. If you do not maintain the minimum $15,000, they charge you $20 a month. It is possible you put your money in the bank and dwindles to zero and you still owe the bank fees. This is the beauty of Western Capitalism!!! The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer.
213. Mat 25:28, “Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’”
214. Mat 25:29, “For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.”
215. Mat 25:30, “Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Note: The problem of the world is the problem of worthless and useless people. It is God who determines who are worthless and useless people. Executives of Washing, Wall Street, Hollywood, corrupt and fraudulent doctors and hospital owners, lawyers and unbelieving theologians may think of themselves as somebodies, God will throw out the worthless slaves into the outer darkness. You may not know Hell is total darkness, Hell Fire burns but does not shine. Hell is the everlasting place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
216. Mat 25:31, “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.”
Note: We do not know what glory is like a blind man does not know the glorious sunset, only when we see Jesus Christ comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, and He will sit on His glorious throne. There are thrones and I had seen some of them, but there is no glorious throne in this world.
217. Mat 25:32, “All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”
218. Mat 25:33, “and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.”
Note: Years ago I recalled one uncle of mine who misunderstood the Scripture. He thought all leftists were bad and all rightists were good. What Jesus does has nothing to do with the political leftists and political rightists. Fascism and mob rule are all wrong.
Regardless of whether people hold right-wing or left-wing beliefs, they are all sinners before God. All political leftists and rightists may go to Hell unless they repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
219. Mat 25:34, “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
Note: The ‘blessed of My Father’ are ‘the righteous’ in Mat 25:37.
220. Mat 25:35, “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;”
221. Mat 25:36, “naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’
222. Mat 25:40, “The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
Note: This is the most important truth: God does not need anything. Jesus Christ does not need anything. What you do to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers (endearment) of Jesus, even the least (unimportant) of them, you do it for Jesus.
223. Mat 25:41, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;”
Note: Hell is a place of the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. The wicked and unbelieving follow the devil into Hell.
224. Mat 25:42, “for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;”
225. Mat 25:43, “I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’”
226. Mat 25:45, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’”
Note: Your destiny depends on you did or you did not. Don’t get the wrong idea: the Scripture never teaches that if you do good, you will go to Heaven. No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. Whether you did repent and believe in Jesus Christ or not will determine your eternal destiny. A saved believer naturally will do good deeds.
227. Mat 25:46, “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Note: There are only two destinies for everyone: the Wicked or Unrighteous are those who are not saved will go away into eternal punishment; but the Righteous who repented and believed in Jesus Christ are saved will go into eternal life.
228. Mat 26:2, “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.”
Note: There were two major events of the Savior’s life”
Crucifixion and Resurrection. Jesus came to die for sinners so that sinners can be saved.
229. Mat 26:10, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.”
Note: Many things happening right before our eyes, because we are human we are not aware of them. Jesus knows everything, He is aware of all things. The woman has done a good deed to Jesus, and yet people bother her. The world objects good deeds.
230. Mat 26:11, “For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.”
Note: We always have the poor with us, so there is plenty of opportunity to do good deeds.
231. Mat 26:12, “For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.”
Note: This wonderful woman poured out the perfume on Jesus’ body to prepare Him for burial.
232. Mat 26:13, “Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
Note: Whatever good deed is done for Jesus will be spoken of in memory. Whatever you have done for Jesus will be remembered for eternity.
233. Mat 26:18, “Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’”
Note: Do you have a house for Jesus and His disciplines?
234. Mat 26:21, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.”
Note: The tragedy of all tragedies was Judas betrayed the Lord.
235. Mat 26:23, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.”
236. Mat 26:24, “The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Note: It would have been good for Judas if he had not been born. It would have been good for the world if Hitler had not been born. If would have been good for the world Tojo Hideki and Hirohito had not been born. If would have been good for the world if Judas had not been born!
237. Mat 26:25, “You have said it yourself.”
238. Mat 26:26, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
239. Mat 26:27, “Drink from it, all of you;”
240. Mat 26:28, “for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”
241. Mat 26:29, “But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom.”
242. Mat 26:31, “You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.’”
243. Mat 26:32, “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
244. Mat 26:34, “Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
245. Mat 26:36, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
246.Mat 26:38, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”
Note: We will never know the pain of the cross, ‘My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death…
247. Mat 26:39, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
Note: The example Jesus sets for His followers: Jesus was obedient to the will of God even unto death.
248. Mat 26:40, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?”
249. Mat 26:41, “Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
250. Mat 26:42, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
251. Mat 26:45, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
Note: The hands of sinners have done so much evil in this world, including the hands of Britain who did to its colonies, the hands of American who did to the natives of America, and the hands of Australian who did to the aborigines of Australia.
252. Mat 26:46, “Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
253. Mat 26:50, “Friend, do what you have come for.”
254. Mat 26:52, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.”
Note: Why did all empires go? For all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword!
255. Mat 26:53, “Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?”
Note: Legion in Latin is legiōn which means “a Roman body of soldiers whose number differed at different times, and in the time of Augustus seems to have consisted of 6826 men (i.e. 6100 foot soldiers, and 726 horsemen)(Strong’s Concordance); – which occurs 4 times in the New Testament. Do you know how many angels required to subdue Satan? Rev 20:1-3, “Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.”
256. Mat 26:54, “How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
257. Mat 26:55, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.”
258. Mat 26:56, “But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets.”
259. Mat 26:64, “You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
260. Mat 27:11, “It is as you say.”
261. Mat 28:10, “Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
262. Mat 28:18, “All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth.”
Note: This Jesus said after His resurrection. Jesus has all authority and the highest authority in Heaven and on earth.
263. Mat 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,”
Note: Therefore is because Jesus has all authority. So Jesus tells His disciples to go and make disciples of all the nations. Baptizing the news believers in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The God of the Bible is Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
264. Mat 28:20, “teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”
Note: All Christians must observe the commandments of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is with believers always, even to the end of the world.
265. Mar 1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.”
Note: Because the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; so the people of the world must repent and believe in the Gospel.
266. Mar 1:17, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
267. Mar 1:25, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
268. Mar 1:38, “Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for.”
Note: Preaching the Gospel was one of the major ministries of Jesus Christ.
269. Mar 1:41, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
Note: Oh, sinners. The Lord Jesus is willing to cleanse your sins with His precious blood.
270. Mar 1:44, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Note: After a believer is saved, he must be a testimony to the world.
271. Mar 2:5, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Note: Only God alone can forgive sins. Jesus Christ is our Great God, if you come to Him, He can forgive your sins.
272. Mar 2:8, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?”
273. Mar 2:9, “Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say, ‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk’?”
Note: None is easy. With God, all things are possible.
274. Mar 2:10, “But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”
Note: The Lord Jesus performs many miracles, so that you may know Jesus is God who has authority to forgive sins.
275. Mar 2:11, “I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home.”
Note: There is power is Jesus’ words.
276. Mar 2:14, “Follow Me!”
277. Mar 2:17, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
278. Mar 2:19, “While the Bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the Bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.”
279. Mar 2:20, “But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.”
280. Mar 2:21, “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.”
281. Mar 2:22, “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”
282. Mar 2:25, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;”
283. Mar 2:26, “how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”
284. Mar 2:27, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.”
Note: The Pharisees and the Sadducees are rigid religious ritualists, they do not understand the truth that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. By the same token, government was made for man, and not man for the government. Strange today, many governments claim to be democracy, they are not made for men. Many governments are masters of the people, and the people are slaves of the governments.
285. Mar 2:28, “So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
286. Mar 3:3, “Get up and come forward!”
287.Mar 3:4, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?”
Note: It is lawful to do good or to save a life on any day. It is not lawful to do harm or to kill on any day.
288. Mar 3:5, “Stretch out your hand.”
289. Mar 3:23, “How can Satan cast out Satan?”
290. Mar 3:24, “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”
Note: In 2021 we witness something most shocking, the United States of America is divided against itself. Many nations are destroyed from within. That is why I propose constitutional amendment to declare American English as the official and only national language of America. I have proposed this for many years, it seems to fall on deaf ears! I also proposed to liberate Taiwan many years ago.
291. Mar 3:25, “If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.”
Note: This is a another tragedy, many a house (home) is divided against itself. Sibling rivalry becomes the cause of discord and disharmony. I believe it is the duty of parents to teach their children not only harmony, but affection and bond for each other.
292. Mar 3:26, “If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished!”
293. Mar 3:27, “But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.”
Note: Who is the strong man of America? I believe Deng Xiaoping was once the strong man of China.
294. Mar 3:28, “Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;”
295. Mar 3:29, “but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—
Note: A female professor of Harvard, in seeking fame and fortune, she declared that she found Jesus had a wife. I believe this woman has blasphemed against the Holy Spirit.
296. Mar 3:33, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
297. Mar 3:34, “Behold My mother and My brothers!”
298. Mar 3:35, “For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
Note: This is most astounding and amazing that the Lord Jesus Christ lifts up and exalts whoever does the will of God is His brother and sister and mother!
299. Mar 4:3, “Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow;”
300. Mar 4:4, “as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.”
301. Mar 4:5, “Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.”
302. Mar 4:6, “And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.”
Not a few church members had no root in the faith, when difficulty or persecution took place, it withered away.
303. Mar 4:7, “Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.”
304. Mar 4:8, “Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”
305. Mar 4:9, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
306. Mar 4:11, “To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables,”
Note: Believers are inside the family of God who have been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, unbelievers are outside.
307. Mar 4:12, “so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN.”
Note: This is a sad truth, there are those who may see and not perceive, while hearing they may hear and not understand. Unbelieving scientists and theologians do not perceive and they do not understand the Word of God.
308. Mar 4:13, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?”
309. Mar 4:14, “The sower sows the Word.”
310. Mar 4:15, “These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the Word which has been sown in them.”
311. Mar 4:16, “In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;”
312. Mar 4:17, “and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately they fall away.”
313. Mar 4:18, “And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the Word,”
314. Mar 4:19, “but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful.”
Note: The thorns are the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things — the choke the Word and it becomes unfruitful.
315. Mar 4:20, “And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the Word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”
Note: Although the Word of God is true and wonderful, you need to accept it and bear fruit.
316. Mar 4:21, “A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?”
317. Mar 4:22, “For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.”
Note: The evil deeds, abuses, atrocities, crimes, brutalities committed by white Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Japanese have come to light; revealed and not hidden anymore.
318. Mar 4:23, “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
319. Mar 4:24, “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.”
320. Mar 4:25, “For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.”
321. Mar 4:26, “The Kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil;”
322. Mar 4:27, “and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know.”
323. Mar 4:28, “The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.”
324. Mar 4:29, “But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
325. Mar 4:35, “Let us go over to the other side.”
326. Mar 4:40, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Note: Those who have faith, will not fear. Those who have no faith, will be afraid.
327. Mar 5:8, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
Note: Demons are unclean spirits.
328. Mar 5:9, “What is your name?”
Note: Demons have names. Jesus asked the demon about his name, not because Jesus did not know, but Jesus wanted him to make his case known.
329. Mar 5:19, “Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”
Note: You see, the man who had been possessed by Legion of demons testified what great things the Lord has done for him, and how God had mercy on him.
330. Mar 5:30,“Who touched My garments?”
331. Mar 5:34, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”
Note: It does not mean your faith can make you well. It means your faith in God can appropriate the power of God, and the power of God can make you well. The Almighty God can heal your affliction.
332. Mar 5:36, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”
Note: If you believe in Jesus Christ, you will not be afraid any longer.
333. Mar 5:39, “Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”
Note: Many times we make a commotion and weep. If only we know with the Lord all is well.
334. Mar 5:41, “Talithakum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
Note: The Words of Jesus have power. Jesus said to little girl who was dead to get up. And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old.
335. Mar 6:4, “A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”
Note: Probably familiarity breeds contempt. However, you should honor every prophet of God.
336. Mar 6:9, “Do not put on two tunics.”
337. Mar 6:10, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.”
338. Mar 6:11, “Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.”
339. Mar 6:31, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.”
Note: The hard-working servant of Christ must heed the Word of Jesus, Rest a while.
340. Mar 6:37, “You give them something to eat!”
Note: As the body requires, it is important to eat something.
341. Mar 6:38, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!”
Note: It is important to know what you have.
342. Mar 6:50, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”
Note: Sometimes in our lives we encountered something strange and were terrified. Remember the Words of Jesus, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”
343. Mar 7:6, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,
BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.”
Note: Prophets who said what it is written are always right.
344. Mar 7:7, ‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
Note: False prophets and false teachers teach the precepts of men as doctrines. Watch out unbelieving theologians who led many astray.
345. Mar 7:8, “Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
Note: Do not hold to the tradition of men by neglecting the commandment of God.
346. Mar 7:9, “You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.”
Note: False prophets and false teachers are experts at setting aside the Word of God in order to promote their teachings. I also observe Western leaders and politicians are experts in deceiving the world with their doctrines of so-called democracy, freedom, and justice.
347. Mar 7:10, “For Moses said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER’; and, ‘HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH’;
348. Mar 7:11, “but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),’
349. Mar 7:12, “you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;”
Note: Whatever is given to God does not justify to exempt yourself from what you ought to give to your parents. You cannot say I make donations to the church so I do not need to support my parents.
350. Mar 7:13, “thus invalidating the Word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
Note: No one can use any pretext to invalidate the Word of God.
351. Mar 7:14, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:”
Note: It is of utmost importance to listen to the Words of Jesus and understand. If you do not understand, ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you or to open the eyes of your heart. (Eph 1:18).
352. Mar 7:15, “there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.”
353. Mar 7:16, “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Note: Eyes are to see, ears are to hear, brain is to think. Sad are those who have eyes, but do not see; have ears, but do not hear; have brain, but do not think.
354. Mar 7:18, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,”
Note: Understanding helps one to know. 1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
355. Mar 7:19, “because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?”
356. Mar 7:20, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.”
Note: That which proceeds out of Western leaders and politicians and Western mainstream media, not only defile the man, they deceive the whole world.
357. Mar 7:21, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,”
358. Mar 7:22, “deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.”
Note: Some Western leaders call China virus, their deceit, malice, envy, slander, pride and foolishness are apparent. Imagine if China or any country can invent COVID-19 that infects:
Global cases
Last updated: 2021-11-26 09:03:05 UTC+7
Confirmed: 260,276,067
Deaths: 5,198,847
United States 48,999,737
Deaths: 798,551
359. Mar 7:23, “All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”
Note: Jesus Christ calls evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness as evil things.
360. Mar 7:27, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Note: Children matter. Let the children be satisfied first. There are some cultures which put children last, the left-over for the children. However, it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs. There are some countries which treat the dogs better than the children. I certainly do not want dogs to come to my bed, and I certainly do not want dogs to kiss me nor do I want to kiss dogs. My asthma cannot tolerate dogs. When I take a walk, the most unpleasant sight is to meet dog’s feces and cigarette buds on the street. I consider a person who walks a dog to urinate and defecate in public place as an uncivilized person. From 1924 to 1984, Iceland was also known for the fact that pet dogs were banned in the country’s capital of Reykjavík. According to https://woofdog.org/dog-bite-statistics/
“Each year, in the U.S., occur approximately 4.7 million pup bites from which 800 000 results in medical care. Animal control deals with these problematic pets of all breeds.” I am glad there are no dogs or animals in Heaven. Don’t be fooled by pets industry.
THE WICKED DO NOT LET ME PASTE OR EDIT.
361. Mar 7:29, “Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
362. Mar 7:34, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”
363. Mar 8:2, “I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.”
Note: Can you be with Jesus three days and have nothing to eat but just listening to the Word of God?
364. Mar 8:3, “If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.”
Note: When people have such a longing for the Word of God, there will be revival.
365. Mar 8:5, “How many loaves do you have?”
Note: In the hands of Christ, little becomes much.
366. Mar 8:12, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
367. Mar 8:15, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
368. Mar 8:17, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?”
Note: To see is to understand. Don’t ever have a hardened heart.
369. Mar 8:18, “HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember,”
Note: Remembrance helps us to understand the Word of God. Memorization of the important portions of the Scriptures is useful. The fact that I attempt to sort out the Words of Jesus is the reason to make it convenient to memorize and remember the Words of Jesus. To memorize the Words of Jesus is not the same to memorize who begets who in genealogy. I personally do not believe I have the ability to memorize the whole Bible, in particular the Old Testament. I believe we should memorize Psalms which teach us how to pray. I knew Wang Ming Tau when he was blind, he preached by remembrance of the Words of God. If anyone claims he can memorize the whole Bible, he can test himself by sitting down to write down the whole Bible by memory from Genesis to Revelation; and compare it to the real Bible to see if he makes any mistake. Do not forget the special graces that you received from the Lord.
370. Mar 8:19, “when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?”
371. Mar 8:20, “When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?”
372. Mar 8:21, “Do you not yet understand?”
373. Mar 8:23, “Do you see anything?”
374. Mar 8:26, “Do not even enter the village.”
375. Mar 8:27, “Who do people say that I am?”
376. Mar 8:29, “But who do you say that I am?”
377. Mar 8:33, “Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”
378. Mar 8:34, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”
379.Mar 8:35, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.”
380. Mar 8:36, “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”
381. Mar 8:37, “For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Note: Apparently, the people of the world do not know the value of their souls.
382. Mar 8:38, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Note: What is our generation? Maybe more adulterous and sinful. A person must have wrong value to be ashamed of Jesus Christ and His Words. There are people who are so proud because they have the White House connection. I would not exchange Jesus Christ with any emperor, king, president, philosopher, scientist, etc. whose glory had vanished long ago.
383. Mar 9:1, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God after it has come with power.”
Note: It is true that John, James and Peter went up to the holy mountain with Jesus and did not taste death and saw the Kingdom of God when Jesus transfigured, and saw the glory of Jesus.
384. Mar 9:12, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?”
Note: It is true that the Son of God suffered many things for us sinners and believers. I could not understand how could anyone treat Jesus Christ with contempt. I think because some religious leaders of that time were jealous of the power of Christ and His Words and His large followers. I do treat some bad theologians and philosophers with contempt because they misinterpreted and misrepresented the Word of God.
385. Mar 9:13, “But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
386. Mar 9:16, “What are you discussing with them?”
Note: What are people discussing can tell a lot about them. Have you ever heard greedy and corrupt capitalists discuss about treasure in Heaven?
387. Mar 9:19, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!”
Note: How long will God put up with American and European, UK, Canadian and Australian imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, militarists, supremacists, monopolists, warmongers, oppressors, suppressors, and dictators who lie, kill, and rob weak nations and peoples? All white nations (EU, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. All work in tandem with each other and under the leadership of USA) continue want to dominate and dictate the world in everything.
388. Mar 9:21, “How long has this been happening to him?”
Note: It is important to know not because Jesus Christ did not know how long the spirit had been throwing the boy into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, and rolling around and foaming at the mouth. Jesus before He rebuked the unclean spirit, He wanted the father to admit a fact to the crowd.
389. Mar 9:23, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
390. Mar 9:25, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”
Note: How can anyone treat Jesus Christ with contempt knowing He commanded dead and mute spirit, and demons and evil spirits always obeyed Jesus the Son of God and they were very afraid to be sent to Hell. Notice also evil spirit can enter the same person again.
391. Mar 9:29, “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”
Note: I do not have the gift of driving out demons or evil spirits. Prayer is asking God’s power for a favor.
392. Mar 9:31, “The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.”
Note: Jesus Christ was perfect man, He was killed by crucifixion; only humanity can die. Jesus was bodily dead. But Jesus Christ was raised from the dead three days later by the power of God to prove His divinity.
393. Mar 9:33, “What were you discussing on the way?”
394. Mar 9:35, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
Note: You have heard about “public servants.” This is a big lie of Western democracy. When politicians are elected or appointed, they become masters of the people. They use position and power to benefit themselves, and so they become rich and powerful. For Christians they are not so, those who want to be a leader must be servant of all. This is also a lie among false preachers. One TV preacher declared, Do you know who I am? I know a lot of so-called preachers, they have a sense of superiority.
395. Mar 9:37, “Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
396. Mar 9:39, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.”
397. Mar 9:40, “For he who is not against us is for us.”
Note: This is a great truth that Jesus Christ teaches His disciples so that we will not confuse who is friend or foe. He who is not against us is for us.
398. Mar 9:41, “For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
Note: Anything done for the followers of Christ will be rewarded.
399. Mar 9:42, “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea.”
400. Mar 9:43, “If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,”
Note: This is a language of comparative hyperbole. It does not means if you cut off the hand that causes you to stumble, you will go to Heaven. It meas the Hell is so terrible that you ought to avoid it by all means.
401. Mar 9:44, [where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]
Note: Hell is a place where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. Hell is a place, not a state of mind. Just as Heaven is a place, not a state of mind.
402. Mar 9:45, “If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into Hell,”
Note: This is the language of comparative hyperbole. If you cut off your foot that causes you to stumble, it does not guarantee you get to Heaven. It means you should avoid everything you can so that you will not be cast into Hell.
403. Mar 9:46, [where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]
Note: Jesus repeatedly stresses the condition of Hell so that people will not overlook.
404. Mar 9:47, “If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the Kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into Hell,”
Note: This is the language of comparative hyperbole. It does mean if your eyes causes you to stumble, you throw it out will guarantee you to enter the Kingdom of God. To prevent to be cast into Hell is more important than anything.
405. Mar 9:48, “where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.”
Note: The Hell is so terrible and so awful that Jesus Christ repeatedly state three time to avoid it.
406. Mar 9:49, “For everyone will be salted with fire.”
Note: Beyond one’s imagination, you do not really know how everyone will be salted with fire in Hell.
407. Mar 9:50, “Salt is good; but if the salt becomes un-salty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Note: For the last 500 years white Europeans dominated the world to this day. For the last 300 years American supremacists dominate the world to this day. The imperial Japan started to be aggressive beginning in the late 19th centuries. EU, UK, America, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Islamic terrorists are the reasons the world is not at peace with one another today.
408. Mar 10:3, “What did Moses command you?”
409. Mar 10:5, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.”
410. Mar 10:6, “But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.”
Note: Clearly Jesus Christ validates the doctrine of creation, God made Adam and Eve. An American president who advertises himself as born again Christian is an evolutionist. You cannot be a Christian and evolutionist at the same time. How could or would anyone trust the words of scientists who do not know even when they are going to die but pretend to know things millions and billions of years ago?
411. Mar 10:7, “FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER,”
Note: The union of male and female require a man to leave his father and mother. There are many mothers who hinder the union of their sons with their daughter-in-laws.
412. Mar 10:8, “AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.”
Note: The secret of happy and successful marriage is taught by Jesus Christ, “The two shall become one flesh.”
413. Mar 10:9, “What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
Note: Christians are forbidden to divorce: What God has joined together, let no man separate. Why?
414. Mar 10:11, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;”
Note: This is the commandment of Jesus Christ: Whoever divorces his wife and marries another women commits adultery against her. How many church members commit adultery as defined by Jesus Christ. Worse, there are preachers who commit adultery in divorce.
415. Mar 10:12, “and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”
Note: Christianity preaches and practices the equality of man and woman. When a husband divorces his wife, or a woman divorces her husband, they commit adultery.
416. Mar 10:14, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
Note: There are innocence and simplicity in many children. The best children I have ever met were the Danish children that I related in my Theory of Good Society. There are also bad and incorrigible children who commit murders, rapes and robberies. It does not mean all children are guaranteed to go to Heaven. Those children who were killed by Pharaoh in Moses time, Herod in Jesus time, and abortionists are certain to go to Heaven.
417. Mar 10:15, “Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”
Note: No one can receive the Kingdom of God like arrogant American, European, EU, UK, Canadian, and Australian leaders.
418. Mar 10:18, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.”
Note: This is a vital truth: No one is good except God alone. Jesus Christ is good because He is God.
419. Mar 10:19, “You know the commandments, ‘DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’”
420. Mar 10:21, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”
Note: People of the world do not know what is the most important thing: the thing they lack. American, European, UK, Canadian, Australian, etc. although claim to be Christians, they have the wrong values of money, power, and sex. They still lie, kill, and rob. They want to dictate and dominate the world. For hundreds of years they have done evil in this world. One thing they lack: they must do good and they must do right. If they want to do good and do right, they must give up world domination and seek righteousness, justice, truth, and peace. They must seek treasure in Heaven and observe the commandments of Jesus Christ.
421. Mar 10:23, “How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Note: Jesus says it is hard for those who are wealthy to enter the Kingdom of God.
422. Mar 10:24, “Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Note: Truth needs to be emphasized. Jesus repeatedly says, How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the Kingdom of God. It is hard to enter the Kingdom of God.
423. Mar 10:25, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
Note: The analogy is sharp. Which is more difficult? Is it more difficult for a camel to go through the eyes of a needle? Is it more difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God? It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!
424. Mar 10:27, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
Note: There are infinite number of things are impossible with people. But with God, all things are possible. God does not have difficulty or extremity. God does not and never have a problem. If any man enters the Kingdom of God, it is all because of the grace of God. No man is worthy to enter the Kingdom of God. God is almighty, and all things are possible with God is a doctrine taught by Jesus Christ Himself.
425. Mar 10:29, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the Gospel’s sake,”
426. Mar 10:30, “but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.”
Note: If as a Christian you have never persecuted for Jesus’ sake and for the Gospel’s sale, something is wrong with you. The Chinese people believe one had past life, present life, and life to come through the so-called endless cycle of rebirth. That is sheer superstition. You do not have past life. The moment you are born is the beginning of your life. When your present life is ended you either go to Hell or Heaven for eternity. There is no rebirth to come back to earth in another life form. Christians have the age to come, eternal life.
427. Mar 10:31, “But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”
Note: Do not get the wrong idea, that the Apostles who were first will be come last, and we Christians of the last days will become first. It appears to me that some who were earlier church members later became lukewarm.
428. Mar 10:33,“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.”
Note: Ironically, it was the chief priests and the scribes — the Jewish religious establishment who condemned Jesus Christ — those who knew the Law of Moses. Just like Judas who was a disciple of Jesus Christ who betrayed Him. It is also the false prophets and false teachers who distort and misinterpret the Word of God.
429. Mar 10:34, “They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”
Note: The wicked mocked Jesus, spat on Him, and scourged Him and killed Him. Whenever Jesus talks about His death He invariably speaks about his rising again, resurrection. Crucifixion and Resurrection are the two cardinal doctrines of Christianity. All founders of world religions are dead in the tomb.
430. Mar 10:36, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
Note: If Jesus asks what do you want Him to do for you, what will you ask? Do you ask for money, power, pleasure and longevity (long-life)? What you ask will reflect your true value.
431. Mar 10:38, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
432. Mar 10:39, “The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.”
433. Mar 10:40, “But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
Note: This was said before the Resurrection. After the Resurrection, Jesus has all the authority. He can give anything to anybody. However, it is wise not to ask for earthly things, how much more to ask for Heavenly things. What it has been prepared for will get it. First no one is worthy to sit on the right or the left of Jesus Christ. Evidently, God has prepared for those who sit on the right or on the left of Jesus Christ. I personally believe three persons are candidates, two will be chosen: Apostle Paul, Apostle John or Stephen.
434.Mar 10:42, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.”
Note: In all nations, the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them. Democracy is a lie. Public servant is also a lie. High ranking officials exercise authority over the citizens. That is why I propose change of the U.S. Constitution to stipulate the ultimate sovereignty be vested in the American citizens, so that 51 per cent of American citizens can remove any official, including the president of the U.S. Some arrogant American leader thinks power belongs to him personally, not wise enough to know that power ultimately belongs to the people of the country. Not a few corrupt and bad leaders of poor and undeveloped nations, they act and think national treasury is their own money, so they live in luxury while their people live in abject poverty,
435. Mar 10:43, “But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;”
Note: The way of the world whether it is Western style so-called democracy or backward dictatorship, is not the way among Christians. Whoever wishes to become great among believers shall be the servant. The white people have sense of supremacy, many preachers also have spiritual sense of superiority.
436. Mar 10:44, “and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.”
Note: Jesus Christ defines leadership and greatness quite different from how the world behaves.
437. Mar 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Note: Not only Jesus Christ did not come to be served, but to serve, He gave up His life for a ransom of His followers.
438. Mar 10:49, “Call him here.”
Note: Jesus is calling sinners here.
439. Mar 10:51, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
Note: The blind man knew exactly what he wanted; he wanted to regain his sight.
440. Mar 10:52, “Go; your faith has made you well.”
Note: Just as the blind man immediately regained his sight, so a repentant sinner can be saved immediately. Regeneration is like a new birth, but growth takes a lifetime. A saved individual knows how to follow Jesus.
441. Mar 11:2, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.”
Note: What Jesus says is always true. How many American politicians (male and female) over the years claimed that God wanted them to run for the American presidency, but not one them ever got elected. So they lied in the name of God. Those politicians used the name of God in vain.
442. Mar 11:3, “If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.”
Note: Blessed it the person or thing the Lord has need of it.
443. Mar 11:14, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!”
Note: The Lord has need of the colt. But the fig tree has no fruit when the Lord was hungry.
444. Mar 11:17, “Is it not written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS’? But you have made it a ROBBERS’ DEN.”
Note: Man is able to turn the holy into profane. The Church of Christ is a House of prayers, but there are some organized churches but Robbers’ dens. Some ministers use churches as their own money making institutions.
445. Mar 11:22, “Have faith in God.”
Note: When the disciples were passing by, they saw the fig tree which Jesus cursed has withered from the roots up. But Jesus says, Have faith in God.
446. Mar 11:23, “Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.”
Note: To have faith is not to doubt in one’s heart.
447. Mar 11:24, “Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.”
Note: To pray is to ask God for something, and believe that we will receive them.
448. Mar 11:25, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in Heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
Note: Transgressions stand in the way when we pray to our Father who is in Heaven. We need to forgive others as God has forgiven our transgressions.
449. Mar 11:26, [But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in Heaven forgive your transgressions.”]
Note: If we want our Father who is in Heaven to forgive our transgressions, so we must forgive our brothers and sisters of their faults.
450. Mar 11:29, “I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Note: Jesus knows all peoples and their hearts. It is wonderful to see how the Lord uses a good question to answer a bad question to highlight the truth and reveal the heart of man. On the Internet, you can see many outrageous comments against the truth, I never want to waste my time on the enemies of truth. If they reject the truth, I do not lose anything. Once a woman challenged me to prove her sins. If they accept the truth, it is good for them.
451. Mar 11:30, “Was the baptism of John from Heaven, or from men? Answer Me.”
Note: The question of the Lord puts the enemies of truth in a bind. They began reasoning among themselves, saying, if they say, From Heaven. Jesus will say why did you not believe him? If they say, from men. They were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet. So they answered Jesus that they do not know.
452. Mar 11:33, “Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Note: Of course, by the authority of God Jesus does many things, including raising the dead, walking on the sea, healing every disease or sickness.
453. Mar 12:1, “A man PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT, AND DUG A VAT UNDER THE WINE PRESS AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.”
454. Mar 12:2, “At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.”
455. Mar 12:3, “They took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.”
456. Mar 12:4, “Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.”
457. Mar 12:5, “And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.”
458. Mar 12:6, “He had one more to send, a beloved Son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Note: A beloved Son is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
459. Mar 12:7, “But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the Heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’
460. Mar 12:8, “They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.”
461. Mar 12:9, “What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.”
462. Mar 12:10, “Have you not even read this Scripture:
‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone;”
463. Mar 12:11, “THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD,
AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’?”
Note: Everything in my life that came about from the Lord is marvelous in my eyes, and I am eternally grateful. The Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes were not idiots or mentally retarded. The knew that Jesus spoke this parable against them. They wanted to seize Jesus but they feared the people. These enemies of truth, the problem is not their head, but their heart, evil heart of unbelief.
464. Mar 12:15, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.”
Note: Jesus knows the hearts and minds of men. Jesus knows their hypocrisy. There are many hypocrites in this world who claim to be Christians.
465. Mar 12:16, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
466. Mar 12:17, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Note: This is a famous statement of Jesus Christ which has been quoted millions of times. It is a legal ground to justify a legal action. This verse fundamentally divides the kingdoms of the world and the Kingdom of God. A Christian has duty to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, for example paying income tax. No one can render the things of God to Caesar. There is no such a thing calls Christian nationalism. There is no Christendom. There is no Christian nation anywhere on earth. UK, EU, AMERICA, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc. have looted, robbed, and stolen millions of items of China’s national treasures since the Opium Wars to this day. These white nations and pagan Japan continue to slander, slur, and smear China out of jealousy and envy because of the peaceful rise of China, yet none of them has rendered to China the things that are China’s. When will they return the precious antiques, and priceless national treasures of China to China? The truth of Christ is amazing indeed.
467. Mar 12:24, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?”
Note: People who are mistaken are so many. The reason they are mistaken is because they do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. Many scientists, philosophers, theologians, politicians, etc. are mistaken because they do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. People who believe in evolution do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God.
468. Mar 12:25, “For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Note: The righteous when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven. The wicked when they rise from the dead, they do not marry either, they will suffer for eternity in Hell.
469. Mar 12:26, “But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THEGOD OF JACOB’?”
470. Mar 12:27, “He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”
471. Mar 12:29, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;”
Note: Both Judaism and Christianity teach monotheism. God is ONE, and there is no other. The doctrine of many gods (polytheism) like some superstitious countries still believe is unacceptable from any intelligent person. Japan worships its convicted war crime criminals as living gods.
472. Mar 12:30, “AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’
473. Mar 12:31, “The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Note: Christianity basically teaches people to love God and to love their neighbors. Terrorism and violence are not compatible with Christianity.
474. Mar 12:34, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
Note: What do you think of American and European, UK, Canadian, Australian, and white nations’ leaders who continue to lie, kill, and rob many nations and peoples; are they far or not far from the Kingdom of God?
475. Mar 12:35, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?”
476. Mar 12:36, “David himself said in the Holy Spirit,
‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD,
“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,
UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET.”’
477. Mar 12:37, “David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?”
Note: A teacher who is able to resolve historical inconsistency or conflict, the crowd certainly would enjoy listening to him.
478. Mar 12:38, “Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,”
Note: Beware in Greek is blepō which means to see; to take heed; to discern; to perceive by the senses; to look at; to feel; to discover; to know by experience; to have understanding; to observe carefully, to direct the mind to; to pay attention; to consider; to weigh carefully; to examine; – which occurs 142 times in the New Testament. We must examine all teachings of men by the Word of God.
479. Mar 12:39, “and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,”
Note: The hypocrites always like to show off themselves with fashion, and like respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the congregation and places of honor at banquets.
480. Mar 12:40, “who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation.”
Note: The pretenders devour widows’ houses, exploit the poor, and for appearance’s sake they offer long prayers. The hypocrites and pretenders will receive greater condemnation.
481. Mar 12:43, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;”
Note: God knows not the quantity but the quality of your offerings.
482. Mar 12:44, “for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”
483. Mar 13:2, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down.”
Note: If you have been to Europe, you will see many great and wonderful buildings. In particular, the evil empire of Britain sucked and depleted the resources of its colonies to build up their infrastructures. The Roman Catholic Church also has a great many properties around the world. Although I had not seen the Milan Cathedral, but I had seen the Notre Dame Cathedral. The most famous is probably St. Peter Basillica.
According to https://www.answers.com/Q/How_much_is_Saint_Peter%27s_Basilica_worth: “Ironically, even from a purely worldly prospective, the building itself with its historical value and artwork are indeed priceless. In other words, the basilica and all its contents are so precious that there is no amount of money or gold that could take its place.” I agree that Sistine Chapel is Michelangelo’s masterpiece. But I want to assure you that Vatican City is no comparison with the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
484. Mar 13:5, “See to it that no one misleads you.”
Note: The devil deceives you. False prophets and false teachers mislead you. World leaders and politicians mislead you. Mainstream media mislead you. There is no truth in the world. Do you see?
485. Mar 13:6, “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many.’
Note: The crux of the matter is the fact that many will come in Jesus’ name and claim to be Jesus and will mislead many.
486. Mar 13:7, “When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.”
Note: Since the end of WWII, there are many unjust and unholy wars conducted and incited by America, Europe, UK, white nations and Islamic State. The US and Western powers use war to dictate and dominate the world. China and Russia do not start any war. I am afraid the coming nuclear war started by the West will destroy the whole world.
487. Mar 13:8, “For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in many places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.”
Note: No Western leader or media have the moral courage to tell the truth that the conflict between India and China was caused by the evil legacy of the British empire. The British empire wanted to make itself look bigger, and so they robbed the large area of China to be included in their colony Indian map. UK never apologized for the abuses and evil deeds they had done to their colonies. Even now they and other Western nations interfered in the internal affairs of Hong Kong and lied about it. Their hypocritical pretexts and phony reasons would even make the devil blush.
488. Mar 13:9, “But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.”
489. Mar 13:10, “The Gospel must first be preached to all the nations.”
Note: The mission of our website is to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations absolutely free.
490. Mar 13:11, “When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.”
491. Mar 13:12, “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.”
492. Mar 13:13, “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
Note: Jesus did not call Christians to a revolution or insurrection. Jesus calls His followers to take up the cross and endure to the end.
493. Mar 13:14, “But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.”
Note: This Scripture may well refer to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and also the cataclysmic end of the world.
494. Mar 13:15, “The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house;”
495. Mar 13:16, “and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.”
496. Mar 13:17, “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”
497. Mar 13:18, “But pray that it may not happen in the winter.”
498. Mar 13:19, “For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.”
Note: Evolution contradicts God’s creation.
499. Mar 13:20, “Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
Note: The elect refer to the children of God.
500. Mar 13:21, “And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him;”
Note: Believe the Words of Jesus, do not believe the false prophets, false Christs, false teachers, and the Anti-christ.
501. Mar 13:22, “for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.”
Note: Not all signs and wonders come from God.
502. Mar 13:23, “But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.”
Note: Not only Jesus Christ knows all things, He controls also all events or things to come.
503. Mar 13:24, “But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,”
504. Mar 13:25, “AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from Heaven, and the powers that are in the Heavens will be shaken.”
505. Mar 13:26, “Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.”
Note: Two things will describe the second coming of Jesus Christ: great power and glory.
506. Mar 13:27, “And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of Heaven.”
Note: When Jesus returns, the angels will gather together God’s elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of Heaven, the largest crowds in history to meet the Lord in the space.
507. Mar 13:28, “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.”
Note: Life is a big lesson, unending lesson. Followers of Jesus Christ have many things to learn. The most important is to learn is the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Words of Jesus Christ.
508. Mar 13:29, “Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”
Note: When we see the things Jesus told us in advance happening, when we see the signs of the second coming of Jesus, we must recognize that the Lord is near, right at the door.
509. Mar 13:30, “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
Note: The things that Jesus says will certainly take place.
510. Mar 13:31, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.”
Note: Whoever knew or thought Heaven and earth will pass away. Yes, Jesus says, they will pass away. But the Words of Jesus will not pass away. This tells us the preciousness and everlastingness of the Words of Jesus. Everything earthly and humanly will pass away.
511. Mar 13:32, “But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
Note: As it has been said before, Jesus spoke this before His resurrection and exaltation. We believe after the resurrection, Jesus received all authority and He knew that day or hour of His second coming.
512. Mar 13:33, “Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come.”
Note: The reasons the followers of Jesus must keep on the alert is because they do not know when the appointed time will come.
513. Mar 13:34, “It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.”
Note: It is necessary to remind us the followers of Jesus Christ that we are nothing but slaves, and the Lord has assigned to each one his task. Blessed is the person who knows his assignment and does his task.
514. Mar 13:35, “Therefore, be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—”
Note: The reason we must be on the alert is because we do not know when our Master the Lord Jesus is coming. Jesus in this verse alludes to the fact the world at different locations have different time zones; it may be in the evening at one location, at midnight at another location, or in the morning somewhere else.
According to: https://cn.bing.com/search?q=when+did+scientists+begin+to+discover+time+zones%3F&pc=U528&pq=
“Sandford Fleming instigated the initial efforts that led to the adoption of the time zones used by the railways in 1883 and the global time zones we use today. Fleming advocated dividing the world into 24 time zones, each equal to 15o of longitude and to one hour, beginning at the Greenwich Meridian (0o longitude).”
The Holy Bible is not a scientific textbook, but it is scientifically accurate.
515. Mar 13:36, “in case He should come suddenly and find you asleep.”
Note: Beware the Lord comes suddenly or imminently.
When I was a boy, I did not dare to sleep. I was worried when Jesus comes and finds me asleep or I did not hear the sound of the Trumpet. Oh, the preacher did not explain. The sleep that Jesus speaks about is not the physical sleep. The sleep Jesus refers to is a spiritual slumber which is inattentive to your post, neglecting your duty, unfit for service, and unprepared for his coming. Christians must wait, watch, and work until Jesus comes.
516. Mar 13:37, “What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!’”
Note: In the Holy Bible, very few cases that Jesus Christ speaks to individuals like Peter, etc. In almost all cases, Jesus says to all His followers. What Jesus says to us He says to all, Be on the alert!
517. Mar 14:6, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.”
Note: Sometimes when someone does a good deed to Jesus, he/she would be bothered or opposed.
518. Mar 14:7, “For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.”
Note: The world will always have the poor because the governments and corporations are corrupt, the monopolists are greedy, unjust wars, exploitation, injustice, unfair trade, and natural disasters such as drought, flood, earthquakes, pandemics, famines, etc.
519. Mar 14:8, “She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.”
Note: The highest compliment that a follower or slave of Jesus can receive is when the Master says to you, You have done what you could. Blessed is the person who has done what he/she could for Jesus. Have you?
520. Mar 14:9, “Truly I say to you, wherever the Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
Note: Whatever good you have done for yourself may last a lifetime. Whatever good you have done for humanity may last a few generations. Whatever good you have done for Jesus is not wasted but will last for eternity in memory of you.
521. Mar 14:13, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;’
Note: If you are on a mission, you will find everything just as the Lord has said. I often ask the Lord to let me meet the person I should meet and keep away from me the person I should not meet.
522. Mar 14:14, “and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
Note: The teachings of Jesus were so famous and widespread that just mentioning the Teacher, they will know who He is. Do you have a guest room in your house for Jesus?
523. Mar 14:15, “And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”
Note: Whatever we prepared for Jesus, must be furnished and ready.
524. Mar 14:18, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.”
Note: It is sad and bad that a disciple would betray the Master. Evil is a mystery, and wickedness comes from the wicked. For that reason, I did not routinely accept invitation to eat with anybody.
525. Mar 14:20, And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.”
Note: Although I am not a Chinese citizen, I am disgusted with people of Taiwan and Hong Kong who are Chinese traitors supported by foreigners. I do not object to have them executed in public.
526. Mar 14:21, “For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Note: Woe to Judas who betrayed the Lord. It would have been good for Judas if he had not been born. In history there have been many evil persons, it would have been good to the world if they had not been born!
527. Mar 14:22, “Take it; this is My body.”
Note: The bread represents the body of Christ, not the true body of Christ as Roman Catholic Church teaching of transubstantiation. The Body of Christ is right now sitting at the right hand of God in the highest Heaven.
528. Mar 14:24, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.”
Note: The cup of grape juice also represents the blood of Jesus which is poured out for many. We do not literally drink the blood of Jesus. The precious blood of Jesus washes away our sins.
529. Mar 14:25, “Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
Note: How eager are Christians to wait for that Day when Jesus and we will drink the fruit of the vine anew in the Kingdom of God.
530. Mar 14:27, “You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.’
Note: The relationship between the Sheep and the Shepherd is so intimate and can never be separated. The Sheep can do nothing without the Shepherd. The Christians can do nothing without Jesus Christ.
531. Mar 14:28, “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
Note: The Crucifixion was such a depression, but the Resurrection is such a joy and glory. Jesus Christ, the Great Shepherd, will always go ahead of the Sheep.
532. Mar 14:30, “Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”
Note: This was what Jesus spoke to Peter personally.
We cannot deny the Lord, for He will deny us.
533. Mar 14:32, “Sit here until I have prayed.”
Note: When you do not know what to do, pray.
534. Mar 14:34, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”
Note: We do not know how the soul of Jesus was deeply grieved to the point of death. We do not know how Jesus suffered for the agony of sin.
535. Mar 14:36, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
Note: We do not know how terrible was the cup. We do know Jesus was obedient to the will of the Father.
536. Mar 14:37, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?”
Note: How weak is the flesh. Peter could not keep watch even for one hour!
537. Mar 14:38, “Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Note: Not to come into temptation requires Christians to keep watching and praying. The spirit vs the flesh is life vs death, glory vs shame, honor vs dishonor.
538. Mar 14:41, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
539. Mar 14:42, “Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
540. Mar 14:48, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?”
541. Mar 14:49, “Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures.”
542. Mar 14:62, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OFMAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
543. Mar 15:2, “It is as you say.”
544. Mar 15:34, “ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” which is translated, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
544. .Mar 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.”
545. Mar 16:16, “He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.”
546. Mar 16:17, “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;”
547. Mar 16:18, “they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
548. Luk 2:49, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
549. Luk 4:4, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.’”
550. Luk 4:8, “It is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”
551. Luk 4:12, “It is said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”
552. Luk 4:18, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,”
553. Luk 4:19, “TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
554. Luk 4:21, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
555. Luk 4:23, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’”
556. Luk 4:24, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.”
557. Luk 4:25, “But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;”
558. Luk 4:26, “and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.”
559. Luk 4:27, “And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”
560. Luk 4:35, “Be quiet and come out of him!”
Note: Take note, demons and evil spirits are noisy. This reminds me of those who loudly broadcast their false and facetious opinions on the Internet. False and facetious opinions are weeds flourishing everywhere.
561. Luk 4:43, “I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose.”
Note: The Gospel must be preached to all creation. This is the main mission of the Church.
562. Luk 5:4, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
Note: Some fish live in deep water and so your nets must put into the deep water.
563. Luk 5:10, “Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men.”
Note: Mankind has so many fear, if not that, it is this. Catching men for Jesus is winning souls. Winning souls is not like a worldly man winning friends and influencing people.
564. Luk 5:13, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
Note: Sin is worse than leprosy. Sin is the leprosy of the soul. Come, let Jesus cleanse you from all sins.
565. Luk 5:14, “But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Note: A saved sinner has something to show, to give a testimony to the world.
566. Luk 5:20, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
Note: Jesus sees if you have faith or not. Yes, God alone can forgive sins. Jesus is God and so He can forgive sins. It is blasphemous for sinful Catholic priests to forgive sins of his members.
567. Luk 5:22, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?”
Note: Jesus knows all things, including the reasoning of your heart.
568. Luk 5:23, “Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?”
Note: None is easy. Both are not easy. Only Jesus can do both.
569. Luk 5:24, “But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home.”
Note: Jesus has authority on earth to forgive sins. Your sins must be forgiven on earth before you can go to Heaven. There is no sin in Heaven.
570. Luk 5:27, “Follow Me.”
571. Luk 5:31, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.”
Note: The legalistic, rigid and self-righteous Pharisees and the scribes grumbled because Jesus ate and drank with the tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees and the scribes criticize Jesus about everything. They are far away from the Kingdom of God because they do not think they have sins. Self-righteous people are like lepers who have lost their sensitivity. They do not think they need to be saved. American leaders and politicians think they are exceptional so that they can continuously lie, kill, and rob many nations and peoples. They slander, smear, and sully China and Russia in everything; they fail to look at themselves in a mirror. They want to continuously dictate and dominate the world. Their ambition blinds their perception.
572. Luk 5:32, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
Note: Not surprising there are many self-righteous people in this world who have high opinions about themselves.
573. Luk 5:34, “You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?”
Note: Blessed is a person who knows what he cannot and can.
574. Luk 5:35, “But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”
Note: The days are coming when Jesus Christ will return to judge the world and reign with the saints.
575. Luk 5:36, “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.”
Note: Man is so mixed up, not knowing the difference between the new and the old; not knowing the consequences of their behavior.
576. Luk 5:37, “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.”
Note: Human beings have great ability in ruining themselves and their environment.
577. Luk 5:38, “But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.”
Note: I have discovered that you can know a lot about a person by the way he/she put things. They have great potential of putting things in the wrong way or wrong order. For example, many habitually put things to block the passage way and put things in inconvenient way. They do not know how to put new wine into fresh wineskins.
578. Luk 5:39, “And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is good enough.”
Note: It is a great wisdom to know what is good enough, whether the old is good enough, or the new is good enough. No one is good enough to enter Heaven.
579. Luk 6:3, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,”
Note: If you had read bad books, it is better you had read none. Jesus often asks the question, Have you not read? The so-called world classic literature will pass away. It does not hurt you if you had never read Oxford World’s Classics. You will perish if you do not know the Words of Jesus. For this reason, the Words of Jesus are collected and made them available to the world.
580. Luk 6:4, “how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?”
Note: Do not use the opinion of man to test the Word of God, use the Word of God to test all opinions of men.
581. Luk 6:5, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Note: The more you understand the Words of Jesus, the less you make mistake in faith and practice.
582. Luk 6:8, “Get up and come forward!”
Note: Jesus knows what men are thinking, men are think of evil continuously. Men are down with sins.
583. Luk 6:9, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?”
Note: To do good you can do it anytime and anywhere. To do harm you cannot do it anytime and anywhere.
584. Luk 6:10, “Stretch out your hand!”
Note: The scribes and the Pharisees were filled with rage because Jesus healed on the Sabbath a man whose right hand was withered. Strange but it is true, there are peoples who are filled with rage because they see some people do good. The wicked are unhappy when they see the righteous do good. American and European leaders knew they forefathers had done much evil in their African colonies, so they impinge on China all kinds of bad motives and reasons when they see China aided so many African nations without strings attached.
585. Luk 6:20, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.”
Note: This does not mean if you are poor you automatically have the Kingdom of God. It means the Gospel is preached to the poor. The poor are easier to enter the Kingdom of God than the rich. If you see many poor nations today, many are self-inflicted with corrupt and greedy leaders, civil wars, inferior culture, violence, destructive behavior, unproductive citizens, mismanagement of national resources, undisciplined, misfit, lazy and dirty, uneducated and uncivilized, and over populated.
586. Luk 6:21, “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.”
587. Luk 6:22, “Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.”
Note: For the sake of Jesus Christ, have you ever suffered when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn you as evil?
588. Luk 6:23, “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.”
Note: To suffer for Jesus is to glorify with Jesus when He returns. The righteous have a great reward in Heaven.
589. Luk 6:24, “But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.”
Note: This verse and this woe has full application to the executives of Washington-Wall Street-Hollywood, corrupt and fraudulent doctors and hospital owners, drugs and insurance companies, labs and medical suppliers, military-industrial-security complex.
590. Luk 6:25, “Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.”
591. Luk 6:26, “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.”
592. Luk 6:27, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,”
593. Luk 6:28, “bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
594. Luk 6:29, “Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.”
Note: Judging from the Words of Jesus, watching American and European (UK, Canadian, Australian included) leaders who lie, kill, and rob the world, how could anyone believe they are Christians? How can any one who believe white and black supremacists are Christians?
595. Luk 6:30, “Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.”
596. Luk 6:31, “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.”
597. Luk 6:32, “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.”
598. Luk 6:33, “If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.”
599. Luk 6:34, “If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.”
600. Luk 6:35, “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
601. Luk 6:36, “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
Note: Be holy, just as our Father is holy. Be merciful, just as our Father is merciful.
602. Luk 6:37, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.”
Note: Do not judge means do not put yourself up in the place of God to pass judgment on people’s motive or action before it becomes evident. It does not mean do not differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad, light and darkness. When a false teacher preaches a false gospel, I dare to say so and withstand him for the sake of truth.
603. Luk 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
604. Luk 6:39, “A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?”
Note: A false teacher or preacher is like a blind man, you cannot let the blind lead the blind. You cannot let them lead the people astray from the truth.
605. Luk 6:40, “A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.”
606. Luk 6:41, “Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”
Note: Remember, a speck is a speck; a log is a log. To call a speck a speck is not to judge people. To call a log a speck is to tell a lie.
607. Luk 6:42, “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.”
Note: American and European leaders do not see the log that is their own eyes. For the last 500 years white supremacists have committed so much abuse and atrocities in the world; they have not apologized or make retributions to their colonies. Yet they accuse and smear Russia and China for what they have not done. The evil British empire is the major culprit. WHITE SUPREMACISTS believe a lie and practice lies, they are hypocrites without shame.
608. Luk 6:43, “For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.”
Note: This is the truth of Christ: A good tree cannot produce bad fruit. A bad tree cannot produce good fruit. This is not passing judgment. Western nations (European, UK, Australia, Canada, USA) have done so much evil in this world under imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, monopolism, unilateralism, supremacism, racism, hegemonism, etc. but they claim to be Christians. They are bad trees that produce bad fruit; and yet they pretend to be good trees.
609. Luk 6:44, “For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.”
Note: Each tree is known by its own fruit. A man is known by his word and deed. A nation is also known by its words and deeds of its leaders and politicians.
610. Luk 6:45, “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.”
Note: Jesus Christ divides the people of the world into two groups only: the good man and the evil man. If you are the good man, you cannot be the evil man. If you are the evil man, you cannot be the good man. It is right to call the good man good man; and it is right to call the evil man evil man. That is not passing judgment. By the things a man’s mouth speaks you can tell that which fills his heart.
611. Luk 6:46, “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
Note: Why is a philosophical question. Why do people call Jesus, Lord, Lord, and do not do what Jesus says. Why the Western white nations call Jesus Lord, Lord, and do not do what Jesus says.
612. Luk 6:47, “Everyone who comes to Me and hears My Words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:”
Note: It is not sufficient to come to Jesus and hear His Words, we must act on them.
613. Luk 6:48, “he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.”
Note: Every man who builds a house wants to build it well. The developers build poor houses to make money at the least cost and labor.
614. Luk 6:49, “But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
615. Luk 7:9, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
616. Luk 7:13, “Do not weep.”
617. Luk 7:14, “Young man, I say to you, arise!”
618. Luk 7:22, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.”
619. Luk 7:23, “Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.”
620. Luk 7:24, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?”
621. Luk 7:25, “But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces!”
622. Luk 7:26, “But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.”
623. Luk 7:27, “This is the one about whom it is written,
‘BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU,
WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.’”
624. Luk 7:28, “I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
625. Luk 7:31, “To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?”
626. Luk 7:32, “They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’”
627. Luk 7:33, “For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
628. Luk 7:34, “The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
629. Luk 7:35, “Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
630. Luk 7:40, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
631. Luk 7:41, “A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.”
632. Luk 7:42, “When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?”
633. Luk 7:43, “You have judged correctly.”
Note: When you say yes is yes, no is no; you have judged correctly. It is one thing to judge a man; it is another thing to judge a matter. It is wrong to pass judgement on a man as God. When you call black is black, white is white; you have judged correctly. When you say right is right, wrong is wrong; you have judged correctly.
634. Luk 7:44, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.”
635. Luk 7:45, “You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.”
636. Luk 7:46, “You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.”
637. Luk 7:47, “For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
638. Luk 7:48, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
639. Luk 8:5, “The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.
640. Luk 8:6, “Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.”
641. Luk 8:7, “Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.”
642. Luk 8:8, “Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
643. Luk 8:10, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.”
644. Luk 8:11, “Now the parable is this: the seed is the Word of God.”
645. Luk 8:12, “Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the Word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.”
Note: The simple Gospel message is this: Believe and be saved. What to believe? Believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and your Lord and Savior. Be saved from what? Be saved from your sins; be saved from the judgment to come; be saved from Hell fire!
646. Luk 8:13, “Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.”
647. Luk 8:14, “The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.”
Note: The thorns to the Word of God are worries and riches and pleasures of this life. How many for riches and pleasures of this life reject the Gospel?
648. Luk 8:15, “But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.”
649. Luk 8:16, “Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.”
650. Luk 8:17, “For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.”
651. Luk 8:18, “So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”
652. Luk 8:21, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the
Word of God and do it.”
653. Luk 8:22, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.”
654. Luk 8:25, “Where is your faith?”
655. Luk 8:30, “What is your name?”
656. Luk 8:39, “Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you.”
Note: What great things Jesus has done for you are the same great things God has done for you.
657. Luk 8:45, “Who is the one who touched Me?”
658. Luk 8:46, “Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me.”
659. Luk 8:48, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”
660. Luk 8:50, “Do not be afraid any longer; only believe, and she will be made well.”
661. Luk 8:52, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.”
662. Luk 8:54, “Child, arise!”
663. Luk 9:3, “Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.”
Note: This is Jesus’ special instruction for the twelve disciples. The Twelve Apostles were give authority and special rights that ordinary believers do not have. For ordinary believers, you have to make arrangements and prepare for your journey.
664. Luk 9:4, “Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city.”
665. Luk 9:5, “And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”
666. Luk 9:13, “You give them something to eat!”
667. Luk 9:14, “Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each.”
Note: The Lord is the Author of order, not chaos. Everything must be done orderly. It is un-Christian and shameful when the hungry crowds rob and loot the food distribution car.
668. Luk 9:18, “Who do the people say that I am?”
669. Luk 9:20, “But who do you say that I am?”
Note: What the people say who Jesus is is different what the disciples who say that Jesus is.
670. Luk 9:22, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day.”
671. Luk 9:23, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
Note: In this world when people join a party or an organization, they want to get something. But to follow Jesus Christ, one needs to deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Him. To take up one’s cross and follow Jesus is not once a year Easter or Christmas. Christians take up the cross daily and follow Jesus.
672. Luk 9:24, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.”
673. Luk 9:25, “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?”
674. Luk 9:26, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”
675. Luk 9:27, “But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God.”
Note: Peter and John and James were the ones who saw the Kingdom of God in glory during Jesus’ transfiguration.
676. Luk 9:41, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
Note: Lately the world has witnessed what a perverted generation where lies are the prominent features: American and Europeans leaders and politicians lied publicly without shame, and the mainstream mass media continuous spew out lies, deceptions, disinformation, misinformation like an avalanche. The Age of Lies has begun in politics, news, mass media in an organized and widespread way.
677. Luk 9:44, “Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”
Note: Let the Words of Jesus sink into our ears; so we must memorize them aloud. We must let the Words of Jesus to be written in our hearts.
678.Luk 9:48, “Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
Note: Christians are to do many good and right things in the name of Jesus. American and European (including Canadian, Australian, UK) leaders and politicians have dictated and dominated the world for hundred of years and doing many abuses and evil deeds in the name of Jesus, because they claim to be Christians?
679. Luk 9:50, “Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you.”
Note: Jesus enunciates a great principle: He who is not against you is for you. There is no neutrality concerning Jesus Christ: you are either against Him or for Him. Those who are for Jesus must speak up and stand up in this perverted generation. Do not hinder your friends.
680. Luk 9:55, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of;”
Note: Christians cannot have the spirit of revenge or the spirit of malice and ill will. White supremacists of America, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, ETC. have the spirit of jealousy and spirit distortion against China’s peaceful rise, so they do everything in their power to hinder, oppress, suppress and slander and smear China as much as possible.
681. Luk 9:56, “for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
Note: Remember the Words of Jesus: Jhn 10:7-10, “So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.“ I AM the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” The works of thieves and robbers are to steal and kill and destroy. Be alert, those who steal and kill and destroy are the works of Satan.
682. Luk 9:58, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
683. Luk 9:59, “Follow Me.”
684. Luk 9:60, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the Kingdom of God.”
Note: There are two dead groups: those who are living dead (without the Spirit of God) can bury their own dead (the physical dead). The Gospel must be proclaimed everywhere. Wherever Christians are, they must proclaim the Gospel.
685. Luk 9:62, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
Note: To be a fit Christian, after putting your hand to the plow, you must not look back. Remember Lot’s wife who looked back
686. Luk 10:2, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Note: In addition to the Twelve Apostles, Jesus Christ also appointed seventy other disciples and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. Jesus also gave them, 35 pairs of disciples special authority and rights that no other disciples have.
687. Luk 10:3, “Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.”
Note: The followers of Jesus Christ are lambs indeed, but the people of the world are wolves.
688. Luk 10:4, “Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.”
689. Luk 10:5, “Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
690. Luk 10:6, “If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.”
691. Luk 10:7, “Stay in that house, eating and drinking drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.”
692. Luk 10:8, “Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;”
693. Luk 10:9, say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
694. Luk 10:10, “But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,”
695. Luk 10:11, ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God has come near.’
696. Luk 10:12, “I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.”
697. Luk 10:13, “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.”
Note: There are people of Chorazin and Bethsaida, no matter how many miracles had been performed in them, they would not have repented anyway.
698. Luk 10:14, “But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.”
Note: The judgment to come has various severity that some may be more tolerable than others. The penalty in Hell is not the same or equal among all. There is no equality in Hell. Hell punishment is already unbearable, but some are even worse. The greater the wickedness, the greater the punishment. You can be sure the punishment of Judas the Traitor is much worse that the common crooks and criminals.
699. Luk 10:15, “And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!”
Note: Capernaum is singled out as a city to be brought down to Hades. Washington, D.C. will be brought down to Hades unlike many unknown little cities. This is Divine equal justice.
700. Luk 10:16, “The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
Note: This is the law of Divine equal reciprocity: those who listen to the disciples of Jesus, listen to Jesus; those who reject the disciples of Jesus, reject Jesus; and he who rejects Jesus rejects the ONE who sent Jesus. He who rejects the Son rejects the Father.
701. Luk 10:18, “I was watching Satan fall from Heaven like lightning.”
Note: This is the mystery of evil. Satan before the fall was some superior angel in Heaven. Why the fallen angel was not contented in his position and he wanted to be like the Almighty? The fall of Satan was destructive and swift like lightning. Those who rebel against God have the same fate.
702. Luk 10:19, “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.”
Note: Behold, the Lord has given to the disciples authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure them. This authority and power none can imitate. The Lord has not given me any authority or power described.
703. Luk 10:20, “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in Heaven.”
Note: Although I neither have authority nor power, but I rejoice that my name is recorded in Heave, a sinner saved by grace.
704. Luk 10:21, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.”
705. Luk 10:22, “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
Note: The Father and Son are ONE. Blessed are the ones whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
706. Luk 10:23, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,”
Note: The eyes of the disciples (the Twelve, the Seventy, and others) were blessed because they saw Jesus Christ in person, the miracles Jesus performed and many other things.
707. Luk 10:24, “for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”
Note: Many prophets and kings wished to see the things which the disciples saw, and did not see them, and to hear the Words of Jesus which the disciples heard, and did not hear them.
708. Luk 10:26, And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”
Note: Those before only had the Law and the Old Testament to read. Christians today have the whole Bible to read. Have you read it?
709. Luk 10:28, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE.”
Note: Even you know the Law, you have to Do in order to live. Under grace, you Believe and be Saved.
710. Luk 10:30, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.”
711. Luk 10:31, “And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
Note: There are three causes which explain the things happen in this world: first by predetermination, that is by the will of God that certain things or events must happen. Second by cause and effect, for example drought may cause famine. Thirdly, by chance. By chance a priest was going down on that road. For example, by chance I met an old friend at a mall. No one is wise enough to know which is which because of the complexity of things. We Christians believe in the Divine Providence that all things work together for our good (Rom 8:28) to those who love the Lord. For example, I believe it was Divine Providence that I studied under Dr. Harold Koontz and achieved the highest grade in his advanced management class of 40 highly intelligent MBA and Ph.D. candidates. Had it not for the letter of recommendation by Professor Koontz, I did not believe the Chinese Ministry of Education would hire me as a professor, then my coming to China and other things could not and would not happen. So I do know my friendship with Dr. Arthur Mouw was arranged by God before the foundation of the world, otherwise cause and effect cannot be explained rationally. So some philosophers believe God is the First Cause.
712. Luk 10:32, “Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.”
Note: Some religious establishment would not practice charity and compassion but deliberately passed by on the other side to ignore the desperate and helpless victims.
713. Luk 10:33, “But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,”
Note: If only you know Jews have no dealings with Samaritans you will realize how poignant it was a Samaritan who felt compassion for a Jew who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho.
714. Luk 10:34, “and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.”
Note: The Good Samaritan is a type (person who believed to foreshadow or represent) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came down from Heaven to save sinners.
715. Luk 10:35, “On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’
Note: This is real charity and work of mercy. Unlike many charity organizations in America that raised a $100 and give out $1 and claim to be non-profit.
716. Luk 10:36, “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
Note: It is sad but true, many corrupt government leaders are robbers’ hands. Many greedy business and industry are robbers’ hands. Many corrupt charity organizations are robbers’ hands. Many religious establishments are robbers’ hands.
717. Luk 10:37, “Go and do the same.”
Note: The Christian faith is not an empty talk religion; it is a “do or practice” religion.
718. Luk 10:41, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;”
Note: Are we not worried and bothered about so many unimportant things?
719. Luk 10:42, “but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Note: In life only one thing is necessary. Do you know what one thing is necessary? Are we not ignorant not knowing that one thing is necessary? Let us imitate Mary to choose the good part. If you have the Words of Jesus is your heart, it shall not be taken away from you. It is possible and tragic that a person may have many things but lacks the only one necessary thing.
720. Luk 11:2, “When you pray, say:
‘Father, hallowed be Your Name.
Your Kingdom come.”
721. Luk 11:3, ‘Give us each day our daily bread.”
722. Luk 11:4, ‘And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
723. Luk 11:5, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;”
724. Luk 11:6, “for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;”
725. Luk 11:7, “and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’
726. Luk 11:8, “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.”
Note: Persistence is one of the principles of success. We need persistence to get an education, to be trained in a job, to undertake an enterprise, to build a happy and harmonious home, to be hardworking and thrifty, to handle human relationships, to raise and rear children, to wins friends and influence people; above all, to follow Jesus Christ.
727. Luk 11:9, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Note: This is the secret of success: ASK, SEEK, KNOCK. If all my students, remember this, they will be doing all right.
728. Luk 11:10, “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.”
729. Luk 11:11, “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?”
730. Luk 11:12, “Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?”
731. Luk 11:13, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
732. Luk 11:17, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.”
Note: Jesus is Omniscient, He knows our thoughts and our hearts.
733. Luk 11:18, “If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.”
Note: It appears the kingdom of Satan is more united than the kingdoms of men.
734. Luk 11:19, “And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.”
735. Luk 11:20, “But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.”
736. Luk 11:21, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.”
737. Luk 11:22, “But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.”
738. Luk 11:23, “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.”
Note: This is the clear principle of taking sides. He who is not with Jesus is against Jesus. He who does not gather with Jesus, scatters. I have discovered there are plentiful of people whose ability is only to scatter all their lives. They lie, kill, steal, and rob.
739. Luk 11:24, “When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
740. Luk 11:25, “And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.”
741. Luk 11:26, “Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Note: Even among evil spirits there are spirits more evil.
742. Luk 11:28, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and observe it.”
Note: Truths are often contrary to many human opinions. Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and observe it. They are more blessed than what the whole world aspire the rich and powerful!
743. Luk 11:29, “This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.”
744. Luk 11:30, “For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.”
745. Luk 11:31, “The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.”
746. Luk 11:32, “The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.”
747. Luk 11:33, “No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.”
748. Luk 11:34, “The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.”
749. Luk 11:35, “Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.”
750. Luk 11:36, “If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”
751. Luk 11:39, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.”
752. Luk 11:40, “You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?”
753. Luk 11:41, “But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.”
754. Luk 11:42, “But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.”
755. Luk 11:43, “Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.”
756. Luk 11:44, “Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it.”
757. Luk 11:45, “Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too.”
Note: American preachers including Billy Graham did not preach against the sins of American presidents fearing to insult them. Jesus was not afraid of anyone and pronounced woes to Pharisees and lawyers!
758. Luk 11:46, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.”
759. Luk 11:47, “Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.”
760. Luk 11:48, “So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs.”
761. Luk 11:49, “For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,”
762. Luk 11:50, “so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,”
763. Luk 11:51, “from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.’”
764. Luk 11:52, “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”
Note: The key of knowledge is the knowledge of the Kingdom of God.
765. Luk 12:1, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”
Note: Jesus defines what He says. The leaven of the Pharisees is hypocrisy. The leaven (sourdough) of the Pharisees has permeated the white race nations (EU, UK, NATO, AMERICA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) for THOUSAND of years to this day.
766. Luk 12:2, “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.”
Note: Almost every crime and sin of Western nations are revealed and made know to this day. They will lay open in the Day of Judgement.
767. Luk 12:3, “Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.”
768. Luk 12:4, “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.”
Note: The devil, his agents, the wicked can kill the body–do not be afraid of them; but God can kill both body and soul in Hell.
769. Luk 12:5, “But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into Hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!”
770. Luk 12:6, “Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.”
Note: God has not forgotten sparrows, how can God forget you?
771. Luk 12:7, “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.”
Note: God has numbered the very hairs of our heads.
772. Luk 12:8, “And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;”
Note: If you deny Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ will also deny you.
773. Luk 12:9, “but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.”
Note: Why it is important before the angels of God? When the angels sort out the righteous from the wicked, the angels will recognize you as the wicked.
774. Luk 12:10, “And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.”
Note: I am not sure whether those who lie against the truth blaspheme against the Holy Spirit of not. I know whoever blasphemes against Jesus Christ blasphemes against the Holy Spirit.
775. Luk 12:11, “When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say;”
776. Luk 12:12, “for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
Note: Somehow most church goers do not know to be taught by the Holy Spirit is better than to study under the greatest theologian.
777. Luk 12:14, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?”
Note: American, EU, NATO, UK, Canada, Australia, etc. Appoint themselves to the judge and arbitrator, police and executor over nations.
778. Luk 12:15, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”
Note: Executives of Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security-complex practice a form of greed; corrupt doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, labs and medical suppliers practice another form of greed. Lawyers and monopolists, etc. practice another form of greed. They all believe life consists of possessions (money, power, and sex).
779. Luk 12:16, “The land of a rich man was very productive.”
780. Luk 12:17, “And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’
781. Luk 12:18, “Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.”
782. Luk 12:19, ‘And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’
783. Luk 12:20, “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’”
Note: The wisest of man does not know that God calls him, ‘You fool”
784. Luk 12:21, “So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Note: There are three groups of peoples: those who are poor and have nothing; those who store up treasure for themselves but not rich toward God; and those who are rich toward God.
785. Luk 12:22, “For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.”
786. Luk 12:23, “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.”
Note: There are those who live for food; and there are women who consider clothing more than their body.
787. Luk 12:24, “Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!”
788. Luk 12:25, “And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span?”
Note: Worrying is the most useless activity, it cannot add a single hour to your life’s span, but it can turn your black hair into gray. According to
https://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/how-worrying-affects-your-body#1 “Worrying is feeling uneasy or being overly concerned about a situation or problem. With excessive worrying, your mind and body go into overdrive as you constantly focus on “what might happen.” In the midst of excessive worrying, you may suffer with high anxiety — even panic — during waking hours. Many chronic worriers tell of feeling a sense of impending doom or unrealistic fears that only increase their worries. Ultra-sensitive to their environment and to the criticism of others, excessive worriers may see anything — and anyone — as a potential threat. Chronic worrying can affect your daily life so much that it may interfere with your appetite, lifestyle habits, relationships, sleep, and job performance. Many people who worry excessively are so anxiety-ridden that they seek relief in harmful lifestyle habits such as overeating, cigarette smoking, or using alcohol and drugs.”
789. Luk 12:26, “If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?”
Note: Ask the greatest scientist can he add a single hour to his life’s span? In God’s view, this is a very little thing. Man is so helpless. The things that matter we do not have control. How stupid and foolish are white and black supremacists who think they can control the world!
790. Luk 12:27, “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.”
Note: The lilies clothe themselves in more glory than even Solomon.
791. Luk 12:28, “But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!”
Note: Once I was traveling in Denmark, I was impressed with the beauty of the field like a sea of yellow flowers.
792. Luk 12:29, “And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.”
Note: I was born a worrying type, thank God He cares for me.
793. Luk 12:30, “For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.”
Note: I do not see nations that cannot feed, clothe, house, and educate themselves seek eagerly to improve. Caravans of illegal migrants want to invade Europe and America thinking they can live on welfare. I was young but now I am old, I thank my Heavenly Father who takes care of me all these years.
794. Luk 12:31, “But seek His Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.”
Note: The peoples of nations are so stupid, they do not seek the first thing first.
795. Luk 12:32, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.”
Note: There are many blessings being children of God, one of them is not to be afraid, our Father has chosen gladly to give us the Kingdom. Followers of Jesus are the little flock.
796. Luk 12:33, “Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.”
Note: Treasure in Heaven is unfailing and cannot wear out.
797. Luk 12:34, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Note: This is a great truth of Christ: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Where is your treasure, and where is your heart?
798. Luk 12:35, “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.”
Note: Why keep your lamps lit? When darkness falls, you can see. Readiness is a condition of every serious person.
799. Luk 12:36, “Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.”
800. Luk 12:37, “Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.”
801. Luk 12:38, “Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.”
802. Luk 12:39, “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.”
803. Luk 12:40, “You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”
804. Luk 12:42, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?”
805. Luk 12:43, “Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.”
806. Luk 12:44, “Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
807. Luk 12:45, “But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;”
808. Luk 12:46, “the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.”
809. Luk 12:47, “And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,”
810. Luk 12:48, “but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.”
811. Luk 12:49, “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!”
812. Luk 12:50, “But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!”
813. Luk 12:51, “Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;”
814. Luk 12:52, “for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.”
815. Luk 12:53, “They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
816. Luk 12:54, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out.”
817. Luk 12:55, “And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,’ and it turns out that way.”
818. Luk 12:56, “You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?”
819. Luk 12:57, “And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?”
820. Luk 12:58, “For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.”
821. Luk 12:59, “I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent.”
822. Luk 13:2, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?”
823. Luk 13:3, “I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
824. Luk 13:4, “Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?”

826. Luk 13:6, “A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.”
827. Luk 13:7, “And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’”
828. Luk 13:8, “And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;”
829. Luk 13:9, “and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
830. Luk 13:12, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.”
831. Luk 13:15, “You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?”
832. Luk 13:16, “And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
833. Luk 13:18, “What is the Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?”
834. Luk 13:19, “It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.”
835. Luk 13:20, And again He said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?”
836. Luk 13:21, “It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened.”
837. Luk 13:24, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.”
Note: To follow Jesus is a serious matter, we need to “strive.”
838. Luk 13:25, “Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’”
839. Luk 13:26, “Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’;”
840. Luk 13:27, and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’”
841. Luk 13:28, “In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.”
Note: Hell is a real Place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
842. Luk 13:29, “And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the Kingdom of God.”

852. Luk 14:10, “But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.”
853. Luk 14:11, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
854. Luk 14:12, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.”
855. Luk 14:13, “But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,”
856. Luk 14:14, “and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
857. Luk 14:16, “A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many;”
858. Luk 14:17, “and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for everything is ready now.’

865. Luk 14:24, ‘For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my dinner.’”
866. Luk 14:26, “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.”

870. Luk 14:30, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’:
871. Luk 14:31, “Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?”
872. Luk 14:32, “Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.”

875. Luk 14:35, “It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

878. Luk 15:6, “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’”
879. Luk 15:7, “I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
880. Luk 15:8, “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?”
881. Luk 15:9, “When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’”

906. Luk 16:2, “And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’”

911. Luk 16:7, “Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He *said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’”
912. Luk 16:8, “And his master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light.”
913. Luk 16:9, “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.”
914. Luk 16:10, “He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.”
915. Luk 16:11, “Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?”
916. Luk 16:12, “And if you have not been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?”
917. Luk 16:13, “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”

1,006. Luk 19:22, “He *said to him, ‘By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?”

1,026. Luk 20:13, “The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; perhaps they will respect him.’”
1,027. Luk 20:14, “But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’”
1,028. Luk 20:15, “So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?”
1,029. Luk 20:16, “He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”
1,030. Luk 20:17, “What then is this that is written:

1,033. Luk 20:25, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Note: This is the famous truth that Jesus demarcates the division of Caesar’s and God’s, between the secular and the sacred.
1,034. Luk 20:34, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,”
1,035. Luk 20:35, “but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;”

1,042. Luk 20:44, “Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord,’ and how is He his son?”

1,045. Luk 21:3, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;”
1,046. Luk 21:4, “for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on.”

1,054. Luk 21:14, “So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;”

1,066. Luk 21:26, “men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the Heavens will be shaken.”

1,073. Luk 21:33, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.”

1,103. Luk 22:42, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

1,181. Jhn 4:48, “Unless you people see miracles and wonders, you simply will not believe.”

1,186. Jhn 5:17, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”
1,187. Jhn 5:19, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.”
1,188. Jhn 5:20, “For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.”
1,189. Jhn 5:21, “For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.”
1,190. Jhn 5:22, “For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,”
1,191. Jhn 5:23, so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.”
1,192. Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”
1,193. Jhn 5:25, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.”
1,194. Jhn 5:26, “For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;”
1,195. Jhn 5:27, “and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.”
Note: When Jesus executes judgment, who can escape???
1,196. Jhn 5:28, “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,”
1,197. Jhn 5:29, “and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.”
Note: God knows all the evil deeds that Western nations and their leaders and politicians have done for hundreds of years in this world.
1,198. Jhn 5:30, “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”
1,199. Jhn 5:31, “If I alone testify about Myself, My testimony is not true.”
1,200. Jhn 5:32, “There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.”
Note: Jesus is true, He is the Son of God, and His testimony is also true.
1,201. Jhn 5:33, “You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.”
1,202. Jhn 5:34, “But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.”
1,203. Jhn 5:35, “He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.”
1,204. Jhn 5:36, “But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.”
Note: John the Baptist was not the Christ, Jesus is the Christ, the Savior.
1,205. Jhn 5:37, “And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.”
1,206. Jhn 5:38, “You do not have His Word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.”
1,207. Jhn 5:39, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;”
1,208. Jhn 5:40, “and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.”
1,209. Jhn 5:41, “I do not receive glory from men;”
1,210. Jhn 5:42, “but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.”
1,211. Jhn 5:43, “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.”
1,212. Jhn 5:44,“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?”
1,213. Jhn 5:45, “Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.”
1,214. Jhn 5:46, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.”
1,215. Jhn 5:47, “But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My Words?”
1,216. Jhn 6:5, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”
1,217. Jhn 6:10, “Have the people sit down.”
1,218. Jhn 6:12, “Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost.”
Note: The Lord does not want His followers to waste food.
1,219. Jhn 6:20, “It is I; do not be afraid.”
Note: When the Lord is present, you have nothing to fear.
1,220. Jhn 6:26, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw miracles, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.”
Note: There are people who join churches with ulterior motives.
1,221. Jhn 6:27, “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”
1,222. Jhn 6:29, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
Note: This is a great truth of Christ: To believe in Him whom God has sent is the work of God. To believe is to do the work of God.
1,223. Jhn 6:32, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of Heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of Heaven.”
1,224. Jhn 6:33, “For the Bread of God is that which comes down out of Heaven, and gives life to the world.”
1,225. Jhn 6:35, “I AM the Bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.”
1,226. Jhn 6:36, “But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.”
1,227. Jhn 6:37, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.”
Note: Do not believe John Calvin; believe in Jesus Christ that whoever comes to Jesus, He will certainly not cast you out.
1,228. Jhn 6:38, “For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”
1,229. Jhn 6:39, “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.”
1,230. Jhn 6:40, “For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
1,231. Jhn 6:43, “Do not grumble among yourselves.”
1,232. Jhn 6:44, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.”
1,233. Jhn 6:45, “It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.”
1,234. Jhn 6:46, “Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father.”
1,235. Jhn 6:47, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”
1,236. Jhn 6:48, “I AM the bread of life.”
1,237. Jhn 6:49, “Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.”
1,238. Jhn 6:50, “This is the Bread which comes down out of Heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.”
1,239. Jhn 6:51, “I AM the living Bread that came down out of Heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
1,240. Jhn 6:53, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.”
1,241. Jhn 6:54, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
1,242. Jhn 6:55, “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.”
1,243. Jhn 6:56, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.”
1,244. Jhn 6:57, “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.”
1,245. Jhn 6:58, “This is the Bread which came down out of Heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.”
1,246. Jhn 6:61, “Does this cause you to stumble?”
1,247. Jhn 6:62, “What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?”
1,248. Jhn 6:63, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the Words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.”
1,249. Jhn 6:64, “But there are some of you who do not believe.”
1,250. Jhn 6:65, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
1,251. Jhn 6:67, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”
1,252. Jhn 6:70, “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?”
1,253. Jhn 7:6, “My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.”
1,254. Jhn 7:7, “The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.”
Note: If you testify the deeds of the world are evil, the world hates you.
1,255. Jhn 7:8, “Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.”
1,256. Jhn 7:16, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.”
1,257. Jhn 7:17, “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.”
1,258. Jhn 7:18, “He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”
1,259. Jhn 7:19, “Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
1,260. Jhn 7:21, “I did one deed, and you all marvel.”
1,261. Jhn 7:22, “For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.”
1,262. Jhn 7:23, “If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?”
1,263. Jhn 7:24, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
1,264. Jhn 7:28, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.”
1,265. Jhn 7:29, “I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
1,266. Jhn 7:33, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.”
1,267. Jhn 7:34, “You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
1,268. Jhn 7:37, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.”
1,269. Jhn 7:38, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”
1,270. Jhn 8:7, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
1,271. Jhn 8:10, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”
1,272. Jhn 8:11, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”
1,273. Jhn 8:12, “I AM the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
1,274. Jhn 8:14, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I AM going.”
1,275. Jhn 8:15, “You judge according to the flesh; I AM not judging anyone.”
1,276. Jhn 8:16, “But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I AM not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.”
1,277. Jhn 8:17, “Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.”
1,278. Jhn 8:18, “I AM He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”
1,279. Jhn 8:19, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”
1,280. Jhn 8:21, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I AM going, you cannot come.”
1,281. Jhn 8:23, “You are from below, I AM from above; you are of this world, I AM not of this world.”
1,282. Jhn 8:24, “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM He, you will die in your sins.”
1,283. Jhn 8:25, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?”
1,284. Jhn 8:26, “I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.”
1,285. Jhn 8:28, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.”
1,286. Jhn 8:29, “And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
1,287. Jhn 8:31, “If you continue in My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;”
1,288. Jhn 8:32, “and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
Note: The truth of Christ is the greatest and most precious in this world.
1,289. Jhn 8:34, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.”
1,290. Jhn 8:35, “The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.”
1,291. Jhn 8:36, “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”
1,292. Jhn 8:37, “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My Word has no place in you.”
1,293. Jhn 8:38, “I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”
1,294. Jhn 8:39, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.”
1,295. Jhn 8:40, “But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.”
1,296. Jhn 8:41, “You are doing the deeds of your father.”
1,297. Jhn 8:42, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.”
1,298. Jhn 8:43, “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My Word.”
1,299. Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
1,300. Jhn 8:45, “But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.”
1,301. Jhn 8:46, “Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?”
1,302. Jhn 8:47, “He who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
1,303. Jhn 8:49, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.”
1,304. Jhn 8:50, “But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.”
1,305. Jhn 8:51, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My Word he will never see death.”
1,306. Jhn 8:54, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;
1,307. Jhn 8:55, “and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His Word.”
1,308. Jhn 8:56, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
1,309. Jhn 8:58, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.”
1,310. Jhn 9:3, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the Works of God might be displayed in him.”
1,311. Jhn 9:4, “We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.”
1,312. Jhn 9:5, “While I AM in the world, I AM the Light of the world.”
1,313. Jhn 9:7, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam”
1,314. Jhn 9:35, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”
1,315. Jhn 9:37, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.”
1,316. Jhn 9:39, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”
1,317. Jhn 9:41, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.”
1,318. Jhn 10:1, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.”
1,319. Jhn 10:2, “But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.”
1,320. Jhn 10:3, “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”
1,321. Jhn 10:4, “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.”
1,322. Jhn 10:5, “A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
1,323. Jhn 10:7, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep.”
1,324. Jhn 10:8, “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.”
1,325. Jhn 10:9, “I AM the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
1,326. Jhn 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
Note: Western nations and its leaders have stolen and killed and destroyed for hundreds of years in this world.
1,327. Jhn 10:11, “I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
1,328. Jhn 10:12, “He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.”
1,329. Jhn 10:13, “He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.”
1,330. Jhn 10:14, “I AM the good Shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,”
1,331. Jhn 10:15, “even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.”
1,332. Jhn 10:16, “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one Shepherd.”
1,333. Jhn 10:17, “For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.”
1334. Jhn 10:18, “No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
1,335. Jhn 10:25, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.”
1,336. Jhn 10:26, “But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.”
Note: Don’t be surprised that some people do not believe, because they are not Jesus’ sheep.
1,337. Jhn 10:27, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;”
Note: The proof that you are Jesus’ sheep: you hear His voice, and Jesus knows you, and you follow Jesus.
1,338. Jhn 10:28, “and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.”
Note: Jesus gives Christians eternal life and eternal salvation.
1,339. Jhn 10:29, “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
1,340. Jhn 10:30, “I and the Father are ONE.”
Note: The relationship between the Father and the Son is the most holy, glorious, wonderful and eternal.
1,341. Jhn 10:32, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”
1,342. Jhn 10:34, “Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?”
1,343. Jhn 10:35, “If he called them gods, to whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),”
1,344. Jhn 10:36, “do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”
1,345. Jhn 10:37, “If I do not do the Works of My Father, do not believe Me;”
1,346. Jhn 10:38, “but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”
1,347. Jhn 11:4, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
1,348. Jhn 11:7, “Let us go to Judea again.”
1,349. Jhn 11:9, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.”
Note: In Jesus’ time, the usual system of reckoning day hours was from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.; from sunrise to sunset.
1,350. Jhn 11:10, “But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
1,351. Jhn 11:11, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.”
Note: Sometimes Jesus uses “sleep” to mean “death.”
1,352. Jhn 11:14, “Lazarus is dead,”
1,353. Jhn 11:15, “and I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe; but let us go to him.”
1,354. Jhn 11:23, “Your brother will rise again.”
1,355. Jhn 11:25, “I AM the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,”
1,356. Jhn 11:26, “and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
1,357. Jhn 11:34, “Where have you laid him?”
1,358. Jhn 11:39, “Remove the stone.”
1,359. Jhn 11:40, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
Note: Faith will see the glory of God.
1,360. Jhn 11:41, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.”
1,361. Jhn 11:42, “I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”
1,362. Jhn 11:43, “Lazarus, come forth.”
1,363. Jhn 11:44, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
1,364. Jhn 12:7, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.”
1,365. Jhn 12:8, “For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”
1,366. Jhn 12:23, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.”
1,367. Jhn 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
1,368. Jhn 12:25, “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”
1,369. Jhn 12:26, “If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.”
Note: To follow Jesus is to serve Jesus. God will honor those who serve Jesus.
1,370. Jhn 12:27, “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.”
Note: God has a purpose for every Christian in this world. Do you know?
1,371. Jhn 12:28, “Father, glorify Your name.”
1,372. Jhn 12:30, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.”
1,373. Jhn 12:31, “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”
Note: The devil is now the ruler of this world. Many are his agents.
1,374. Jhn 12:32, “And I, if I AM lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
1,375. Jhn 12:35, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.”
Note: Believers walk in the Light, unbelievers walk in the darkness.
1,376. Jhn 12:36, “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”
Note: Christians believe in the Light and they become sons of Light.
1,377. Jhn 12:44, “He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.”
Note: To believe in Jesus is to believe in God. Father and Son are ONE.
1,378. Jhn 12:45, “He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.”
Note: To see Jesus is to see God.
1,379. Jhn 12:46, “I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.”
1,380. Jhn 12:47, “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.”
Note: The Sayings of Jesus are the Words of Jesus.
1,381. Jhn 12:48, “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the Word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.”
1,382. Jhn 12:49, “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.”
1,383. Jhn 12:50, “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
1,384. Jhn 13:7, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.”
Note: Spiritual knowledge is progressive; hereafter is different from now.
1,385. Jhn 13:8, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”
Note: To be cleansed by the blood of Jesus is to have part with Jesus.
1,386. Jhn 13:10, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”
1,387. Jhn 13:11, “Not all of you are clean.”
Note: Those who betray or deny the Lord are not clean.
1,388. Jhn 13:12, “Do you know what I have done to you?”
1,389. Jhn 13:13, “You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I AM.”
Note: Among other things, Jesus is our Teacher and Lord.
1,390. Jhn 13:14, “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”
1,391. Jhn 13:15, “For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.”
Note: Jesus gave us an example that we also should do as Jesus did to us.
1,392. Jhn 13:16, “Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.”
Note: Who is greater is clear.
1,393. Jhn 13:17, “If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.”
Note: Those who do the Words of Jesus are blessed.
1,394. Jhn 13:18, “I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.’
1,395. Jhn 13:19, “From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I AM He.”
Note: True prophesy has value because it will come to pass or occur.
1,396. Jhn 13:20, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
Note: This is the truth of representation: He who receives whomever Jesus sends receives Jesus; and he who receives Jesus receives God who sent Jesus.
1,397. Jhn 13:21, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.”
1,398. Jhn 13:26, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.”
1,399. Jhn 13:27, “What you do, do quickly.”
Note: People who do not have the Holy Spirit in them are in danger of Satan entering into them.
1,400. Jhn 13:31, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;”
1,401. Jhn 13:32, “if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.”
1,402. Jhn 13:33, “Little children, I AM with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
Note: Jesus sometimes calls His followers, ‘Little Flock’ or ‘Little children.”
1,403. Jhn 13:34, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
Note: Jesus gives a new commandment to His followers, that we love one another, even as Jesus has loved us, that we also love one another.
1,404. Jhn 13:35, “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Note: By Christians loving one another, all men will know that we are the disciples of Jesus Christ. Conflict, division, hatred do not obey the new commandment of Jesus Christ.
1,405. Jhn 13:36, “Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”
Note: All disciples of Jesus Christ will follow Him later to Heaven.
1,406. Jhn 13:38, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.”
1,407. Jhn 14:1, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.”
Note: If you believe in God and believe also in Jesus, do not let your heart be troubled.
1,408. Jhn 14:2, “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.”
Note: The Most Expensive Mansion is Antilla, $1B, in my view it is not beautiful. I am sure the Mansions above are more beautiful than Antilla.
1,409. Jhn 14:3, “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”
Note: Heaven is a place; Hell is also a real place but place of suffering.
1,410. Jhn 14:4, “And you know the way where I am going.”
1,411. Jhn 14:6, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
Note: I believe this is the Manifesto of Jesus Christ to the whole world.
1,412. Jhn 14:7, “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”
Note: To know Jesus Christ is to know God. To see Jesus Christ is to see God.
1,413. Jhn 14:9, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”
1,414. Jhn 14:10, “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The Words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.”
Note: This is the greatest mystery of all: Jesus Christ is in the Father, and the Father is in Jesus Christ.
1,415. Jhn 14:11, “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.”
Note: Yes, Lord, I believe; I also believe the Works of Jesus.
1,416. Jhn 14:12, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.”
1,417. Jhn 14:13, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
1,418. Jhn 14:14, “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”
1,419. Jhn 14:15, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
Note: To love Jesus is to keep His commandments.
1,420. Jhn 14:16, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever;”
1,421. Jhn 14:17, “that is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.”
Note: How can the white and black supremacists who lie, kill, and rob claim to be Christians since they do not have the Spirit of Truth?
1,422. Jhn 14:18, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
Note: Christians are not orphans.
1,423. Jhn 14:19, “After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.”
Note: Because my Redeemer lives, I will live also.
1,424. Jhn 14:20, “In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.”
Note: This is the second mystery: The Son is in the Father, and believers are in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is in believers.
1,425. Jhn 14:21, “He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
Note: This is the Law of Reciprocity: He who loves Jesus keeps His commandments, and he who loves Jesus will be loved by the Father, and Jesus will love him and disclose Himself to him.
1,426. Jhn 14:23, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.”
1,427. Jhn 14:24, “He who does not love Me does not keep My Words; and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.”
1,428. Jhn 14:25, “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.“
1,429. Jhn 14:26, “But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”
Note: The Comforter in Greek is paraklētos which means advocate; helper; pleader; assistant; intercessor; consoler; – which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter of Christians.
The Holy Spirit will teach you all things, not your pastor or theologian.
1,430. Jhn 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”
Note: If you have the peace of Jesus Christ, your heart will not be troubled, nor will it be fearful.
1,431. Jhn 14:28, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.”
1,432. Jhn 14:29, “Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.”
1,433. Jhn 14:30, “I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;”
Note: If you have the Holy Spirit, the devil has nothing in you.
1,434. Jhn 14:31, “but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.”
1,435. Jhn 15:1, “I AM the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.”
1,436. Jhn 15:2, “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.”
1,437. Jhn 15:3, “You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.”
Note: The Words of Jesus have cleansing power.
1,438. Jhn 15:4, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”
Note: Abide in Greek is menō which means to remain; to dwell; to continue; to endure; to persevere; to persist; – which occurs 118 times in the New Testament. Christians cannot depart from Christ.
1,439. Jhn 15:5, “I AM the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”
1,440. Jhn 15:6, “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.”
1,441. Jhn 15:7, “If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
1,442. Jhn 15:8, “My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.”
1,443. Jhn 15:9, “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.”
1,444. Jhn 15:10, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.”
1,445. Jhn 15:11, “These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”
1,446. Jhn 15:12, “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.”
1,447. Jhn 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
1,448. Jhn 15:14, “You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
Note: Those who do what Jesus commands are raised from disciples to friends.
1,449. Jhn 15:15, “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
1,450. Jhn 15:16, “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”
1,451. Jhn 15:17, “This I command you, that you love one another.”
1,452. Jhn 15:18, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.”
1,453. Jhn 15:19, “If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.”
1,454. Jhn 15:20, “Remember the Word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My Word, they will keep yours also.”
1,455. Jhn 15:21, “But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.”
1,456. Jhn 15:22, “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.”
1,457. Jhn 15:23, “He who hates Me hates My Father also.”
1,458. Jhn 15:24, “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.”
1,459. Jhn 15:25, “But they have done this to fulfill the Word that is written in their Law, ‘THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.’
1,460. Jhn 15:26, “When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,”
1,461. Jhn 15:27, “and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”
1,462. Jhn 16:1, “These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.”
1,463. Jhn 16:2, “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but the hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.”
1,464. Jhn 16:3, “These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.”
1,465. Jhn 16:4, “But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.”
1,466. Jhn 16:5, “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’”
1,467. Jhn 16:6, “But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.”
1,468. Jhn 16:7, “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”
1,469. Jhn 16:8, “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;”
1,470. Jhn 16:9, “concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;”
Note: Do not believe in Jesus Christ is sin which may send a person to Hell.
1.471. Jhn 16:10, “and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;”
1,472. Jhn 16:11, “and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.”
1,473. Jhn 16:12, “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.”
Note: Even spiritual knowledge is progressive, we may not bear them now.
1,474. Jhn 16:13, “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”
Note: The Spirit of Truth will guide us into all the truth, do not be misled by theologian or philosopher. Prophesy deals what is to come.
1,475. Jhn 16:14, “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.”
1,476. Jhn 16:15, “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.”
1,477. Jhn 16:16, “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”
Note: We are still waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ, but to Jesus who is God it is just “a little while.”
1,478. Jhn 16:19, “Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?”
1,479. Jhn 16:20, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.”
1,480. Jhn 16:21, “Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.”
1,481. Jhn 16:22, “Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.”
1,482. Jhn 16:23, “In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.”
1,483. Jhn 16:24, “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.”
1,484. Jhn 16:25, “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
Note: It is important that Jesus has spoken in figurative language and plain language. No one can misinterpret Jesus’ plain language.
1,485. Jhn 16:26, “In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;”
1,486. Jhn 16:27, “for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.”
1,487. Jhn 16:28, “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.”
1,488. Jhn 16:31, “Do you now believe?”
1,489. Jhn 16:32, “Behold, the hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”
1,490. Jhn 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
1,491. Jhn 17:1, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,”
Note: The most important thing is to glorify God.
1,492. Jhn 17:2, “even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.”
Note: God gave Jesus Christ authority over all flesh, including the American presidents, prime ministers of UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, and Arab kings, etc.
1,493. Jhn 17:3, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
Note: To know the only true God and Jesus Christ is eternal life.
1,494. Jhn 17:4, “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.”
Note: The work which Christ did was the work of God. The work of Christ was the saving work, while the Holy Spirit is doing the sanctifying work.
1,495. Jhn 17:5, “Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”
1,496. Jhn 17:6, “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your Word.”
Note: God gave Jesus Christ followers out of the world, and they have kept the Word of God.
1,497. Jhn 17:7, “Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;”
1,498. Jhn 17:8, “for the Words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.”
Note: The Words of Jesus are the Words of God, and Christians received them and truly understood that Jesus came forth from God.
1,499. Jhn 17:9, “I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;”
1,500. Jhn 17:10, “and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.”
1,501. Jhn 17:11, “I AM no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.”
1,502. Jhn 17:12, “While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.”
Note: Judas the traitor was the son of perdition.
1,503. Jhn 17:13, “But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.”
1,504. Jhn 17:14, “I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
1,505. Jhn 17:15, “I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.”
Note: The evil one is the devil or Satan.
1,506. Jhn 17:16, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
Note: Christian Nationalism is not possible because Christians are not of the world even as Christ is not of the world.
1,507. Jhn 17:17, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your Word is truth.”
Note: The Word of God is truth and can sanctify believers.
1,508. Jhn 17:18, “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.”
1,509. Jhn 17:19, “For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.”
Note: The Word of God is truth and Christians are sanctified in truth.
1,510. Jhn 17:20, “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;”
1,511. Jhn 17:21, “that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.”
1,512. Jhn 17:22, “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;”
Note: Father and Son are ONE. The ONENESS between Father and Son is beyond human comprehension. It is the perfect UNITY.
1,513. Jhn 17:23, “I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.’
Note: When Christians are perfected in unity, Christians are perfected.
1,514. Jhn 17:24, “Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”
Note: Christians will be with Christ where He is, and that is Heaven.
1,515. Jhn 17:25, “O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;”
Note: Not only we have our Heavenly Father, He is also Righteous Father.
1,516. Jhn 17:26, “and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
1,517. Jhn 18:4, “Whom do you seek?”
1,518. Jhn 18:5, “I am He.”
1,519. Jhn 18:7, “Whom do you seek?”
1,520. Jhn 18:8, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
1,521. Jhn 18:11, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
1,522. Jhn 18:20, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.”
Note: The false teachers said Jesus had secret messages. Wrong. Jesus has spoken openly to the world. Jesus spoke nothing in secret.
1,523. Jhn 18:21, “Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”
1,524. Jhn 18:23, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
1,525. Jhn 18:34, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”
1,526. Jhn 18:36, Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My Kingdom is not of this realm.”
Note: The Kingdom of Jesus is not of this world, not of this realm; therefore there is no such a thing called Christian Nation or Christian Nationalism or Christendom.
1,527. Jhn 18:37, Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a King. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My Voice.”
Note: Jesus Christ has come into the world to testify to the truth, the truth of Christ. Everyone who is of the truth hears the Voice of Jesus and believes in His Words.
1,528. Jhn 19:11, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
Note: No authority unless it had been given from above. Sin has degrees or sizes or weights or measures. Some sin is greater than others.
1,529. Jhn 19:26, “Woman, behold, your son!”
1,530. Jhn 19:27, “Behold, your mother!”
1,531. Jhn 19:28, “I am thirsty.”
1,532. Jhn 19:30, “It is finished!”
Note: The work that Jesus came to do is finished. The redemption or salvation that Jesus did for sinners was accomplished.
1,534. Jhn 20:15, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”
1,535. Jhn 20:16, “Mary!”
1,536. Jhn 20:17, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”
1,537. Jhn 20:19, “Peace be with you.”
1,538. Jhn 20:21, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
1,539. Jhn 20:22, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
1,540. Jhn 20:23, “If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
Note: This is most serious matter; if I am not mistaken, it has never been written anyway that the Apostles or disciples have forgiven the sins of any, or they retain the sins of any.
1,541. Jhn 20:26, “Peace be with you.”
1,542. Jhn 20:27, “Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
Note: To every believer, Jesus says, Do not be unbelieving, but believing.
1,543. Jhn 20:29, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”
Note: Except the Christians of the first century who had seen the Lord, all Christians of all generations did not see the Lord, and yet believed. Jesus says, Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.
1,544. Jhn 21:5, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?”
1,545. Jhn 21:6, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.”
Note: Blessed are those who do what the Lord says.
1,546. Jhn 21:10, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.”
1,547. Jhn 21:12, “Come and have breakfast.”
1,548. Jhn 21:15, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Tend My lambs.”
1,549. Jhn 21:16, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” “Shepherd My sheep.”
1,550. Jhn 21:17, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” “Tend My sheep.”
1,551. Jhn 21:18, “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.”
Note: Youth and old age are quite different.
1,522. Jhn 21:19, “Follow Me!”
Note: No matter what is your destiny, Follow Jesus.
1,523. Jhn 21:22, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
1,524. Act 1:4, “not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” “you heard of from Me;”
1,525. Act 1:5, “for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
1,526. Act 1:7, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;”
Note: There are things that God does not want Christians to know, among them is the time and day of the second coming of Christ.
1,527. Act 1:8, “but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
Note: To receive power from the Holy Spirit is to be witnesses of Jesus Christ to all creations, not to speak in tongues or show your spiritual superiority.
1,528. Act 9:4, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
1,529. Act 9:5, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
1,530. Act 9:6, “but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”
1,531. Act 9:10, “Ananias.”
1,532. Act 9:11, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,”
1,534. Act 9:12, “and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.”
1,535. Act 9:15, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;”
Note: Paul is a chosen instrument of Jesus.
1,536. Act 9:16, “for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”
Note: A chosen instrument of Jesus is to suffer much for the sake of Jesus’ name.
1,537. Act 11:16, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
1,538. Act 18:9, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;”
Note: How many preachers are silent about the sins of leaders and politicians who claim to be Christians.
1,539. Act 18:10, “for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Note: Whoever thought that Jesus had many people in this city of Corinth which was a busy Roman trading city. Jesus may have many people in your city.
1,540. Act 20:35, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Note: For this reason, Christians must work hard and do not want to be on welfare. If you live on welfare unless you are blind or crippled, your life does not matter. A life that only receives and never gives does not matter.
1,541. Act 22:7, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’
1,542. Act 22:8, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’
1,543. Act 22:10, ‘Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.’
Note: Blessed is the Christian who knows what has been appointed for him/her to do. You must be dead in your transgressions if you think you are appointed to have money, power, and sex.
1,544. Act 22:18, ‘Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.’
Note: If one city does not accept the testimony about Jesus, preachers should go to other cities.
1,545. Act 22:21, ‘Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.”
1,546. Act 23:11, “Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also.”
1,547. Act 26:14, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
1,548. Act 26:15, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.”
1,549. Act 26:16, ‘But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you;”
1,550. Act 26:17, “rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you,”
1,551. Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’
Note: The blind do not know they are in darkness, in the dominion of Satan. The Gospel of truth opens the eyes of believers so that they turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Christ.
1,552. 1Co 11:24, “and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
1,553. 1Co 11:25, In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
1,554. 2Co 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
1,555. Rev 1:11, “I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
1,556. Rev 1:17,“Do not be afraid; I AM the First and the Last,”
1,557. Rev 1:18, “and the Living One; and I was dead, and behold, I AM alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”
Note: Jesus Christ is the Living One; He was dead, and HE IS alive forevermore. Jesus Christ has the keys of death and of Hades, not the devil.
1,558. Rev 1:19, “Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things.”
1,559. Rev 1:20, “As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
1,560. Rev 2:1, “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:”
1,561. Rev 2:2; “I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;”
1,562. Rev 2:3, and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary.”
1,563. Rev 2:4, “‘But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
1,564. Rev 2:5, ‘Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.”
1,565. Rev 2:6, ‘Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
Note: The world’s psychology considers “hate” negative; Jesus approves believers to hate the deeds of Nicolaitans and its heretic teachings, which Jesus also hates. Nicolaitans means the followers of Nicolas. The heretic tenets of Nicolas were similar to those of Balaam. They condoned the eating of food offered to idols and sexual immorality.
Christians ought to beware corrupt doctrine and practice of any sect; especially those preachers who are liars and falsely claim to have heavenly vision but commit sexual immorality and greed.
1,567. Rev 2:7, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’”
Note: Heaven is the Paradise of God, a real place and eternal home for children of God.
1,568. Rev 2:8, “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this:”
1,569. Rev 2:9, ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”
Note: They are people who say they are Christians and they are not, their churches are a synagogue of Satan.
1,570. Rev 2:10, ‘Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
1,571. Rev 2:11, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.’
1,572. Rev 2:12, “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged Sword says this:”
1,573. Rev 2:13, ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.”
1,574. Rev 2:14, ‘But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.”
Note: There are those who teach doctrines are unimportant, the important thing is to have love. Love can never take the place of sound doctrine and practice.
1,575. Rev 2:15, ‘So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.”
Note: World knowledge such as psychology considers hate as negative. Jesus approves believers who hate the evil deeds and heretic teaching of the Nicolaitans. Jesus Christ Himself hates the deeds and teachings of Nicolatans; just as Jesus hates the Pharisees and hypocrisy.
1,576. Rev 2:16, ‘Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the Sword of My mouth.”
Note: Jesus can destroy anyone, including the devil, with the Sword of His Mouth. The power of the devil is exaggerated by his agents.
1,577. Rev 2:17, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’
Note: Almost all of us do not appreciate or grasp the values because no one has seen some of the hidden manna, a white stone, and a new name written on the white stone. The days are coming, and we will know them soon.
1,578. Rev 2:18, “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:”
1,579. Rev 2:19, ‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.”
1,580. Rev 2:20, ‘But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
1,581. Rev 2:21, ‘I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.”
Note: There are those who do not repent when they are given time to repent; there will be time when they want to repent but they are not given time to repent. So repent when you are given time to repent.
1,582. Rev 2:22, ‘Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.”
1,583. Rev 2:23, ‘And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I AM He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.”
Note: The pestilence CORONAVIRUS is the most deadly that the world has never seen before. We have to guard our hearts and minds in Jesus Christ because corrupt doctrines and practices attack our hearts and minds. Judgment of God is according to our deeds.
1,584. Rev 2:24, ‘But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.”
Note: The deep things of Satan include the snares, schemes, skills, subtleties, disguises, and activities of Satan which we must be aware.
1,585. Rev 2:25, ‘Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.”
Note: Christians have grace, mercy, redemption, salvation, faith, hope, love, peace, compassion, newness of life, liberty, labor and strife, sanctification, good conscience, prophetic word, confidence, knowledge, and the mind of Christ. We must keep what we have until Jesus comes.
1,586. Rev 2:26, ‘He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;”
Note: The reward to those who overcome and keep the deeds of Jesus is so great, to be given authority over the nations. In this world, unless one is a dictator, he does not have authority over one nation. The authority over the nations refers to the Millennium Reign of Christ on earth. The United Kingdom is the successor of the British Empire which had done much evil in this world. UK has not confessed its predecessor falsified the Indian map by robbing large China’s territories to be incorporated into India map to make its colony look big. The British empire also left the evil legacy of Palestine and Palestinians which give Israel much problems. Imagine some Christian will be given authority over the UK.
1,587. Rev 2:27, “AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father;”
Note: The Rod of Iron does not mean the truth of Christ. It means the absolute power of Jesus Christ to break His opponents as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces. Remember the Sword of Jesus’ mouth.
The Kingdom of Christ is absolutely unlike the kingdoms of the world or so-called democracy of some nations. What are the differences between world dictators and the absolute Ruler Jesus Christ? Much and great differences; for one world dictators are mortal humans with limited power, Jesus Christ is the everlasting God with absolute power.
1,588. Rev 2:28, “and I will give him the morning star.”
Note: The Morning Star by Bing:
1,589. Rev 2:29, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
1,590. Rev 3:1, “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.”
Note: Some are falsely so-called Christians, but they are dead. I have found many European and American and Chinese churches are dead.
1,591. Rev 3:2, ‘Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.”
1,592. Rev 3:3, ‘So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.”
1,593. Rev 3:4, ‘But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.”
Note: Let it be understood, there is no black color in Heaven. We will walk with the Lord in white.
1,594. Rev 3:5, ‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”
1,595. Rev 3:6, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
1,596. Rev 3:7, “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:”
Note: The key of David denotes authority and control, but I am not satisfied with comments of so-called scholars; I think there are many things about the Key of David which are unknown now. Many self-appointed so-called Bible scholars have a tendency not to admit their ignorance. It is written so we know there are: the key of the house of David, the key of knowledge, the key of the Bottomless Pit, the key of the abyss, the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the keys of death and of Hades. It is dangerous for anyone to pretend to know what he does not exactly know.
1,597. Rev 3:8, ‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My Word, and have not denied My name.”
1,598. Rev 3:9, ‘Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.”
Note: I believe the synagogue of Satan is a religious organization controlled and used by Satan. Today there are quite a few falsely called churches which belong to Satan.
1,600. Rev 3:10, ‘Because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”
1,601. Rev 3:11, ‘I AM coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Note: The “eight” monosyllabic words “so that no one will take your crown” are profound to me and I don’t know what and how and why. It seems there is possibility of some one may take your crown.
1,602. Rev 3:12, ‘He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the Temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the City of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My new name.”
Note: We are all ignorant of what is a pillar in the Temple of God, the name of God, the name of the City of God, and the new name of Jesus Christ.
1,603. Rev 3:13, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
1,604. Rev 3:14, “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:”
Note: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God are the titles or names of Jesus Christ.
1,605. Rev 3:15, ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.’
1,606. Rev 3:16, ‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.”
1,607. Rev 3:17, ‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,”
Note: There are people who are rich, wealthy, and have need of nothing. And they do not know that they are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I venture to say these people not only they have money, but also power and sex.
1,608. Rev 3:18, “I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.”
1,609. Rev 3:19, ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.”
1,610. Rev 3:20, ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
1,611. Rev 3:21, ‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.’
1,612. Rev 3:22, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
1,613. Rev 22:7, “And behold, I AM coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.”
1,614. Rev 22:12, “Behold, I AM coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.”
1,615. Rev 22:13, “I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
Note: Alpha is first letter of Greek alphabet, Omega is the last letter in the Greek alphabet. Christ is the Alpha and the Omega to indicate that He is the beginning and the end. Both occurs 3 times in the New Testament.
1,616. Rev 22:14, “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the City.”
1,617. Rev 22:16, “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I AM the Root and the Descendant of David, the Bright Morning Star.”
Note: Jesus is the Bright Morning Star.
1,618. Rev 22:20, “Yes, I am coming quickly.”
Note: 2Co 1:20, “For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are YES; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.”
PEOPLE should ask, why most of the criminals and crooks at the national capital are blacks? HEAR YE, HEAR YE, AMERICANS. America needs a new beginning. I am to propose moving the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Lincoln is the greatest American president, greater than Washington. The special interest is concretely and concentrically established in Washington, D.C.
The White House, Supreme Court, etc. can be sold to luxurious hotels. American government must be freed from all encumbrances, monopolies, lobbies, and special interests once and for all. Washington can be a regular city of Maryland, most likely a tourist city because the Monuments and Smithsonian Institutions shall be kept. The city can charge admission to all Smithsonian Institutions. There shall be a national referendum to decide the moving of the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska. Congressmen and Senators shall decide whether to move the Capitol or not. The political names of D.C. and Capitol shall be dropped. All unnecessary government employees shall be dismissed and useless departments and agencies shall be discarded.
They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
bscholarly.com/most-corrupt-countries-in-africa/

If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
I agree with Arnold J. Toynbee who said, “ Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
- America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
- America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
- America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
- America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
- America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
- America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
- America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
- America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
- America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
- IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
- America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
- It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish land and relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
CHINA does not share cultural values with Africa. If Africa has the right cultural values, why after hundreds of years Africa is still the most undeveloped, most primitive, poorest, and worst parts of the world? If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour — then China is free indeed — no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
- CHINA does not need to make contributions to global economy. China needs only to make its economy the number one in the world. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization.
- To prevent flooding and deaths, CHINA needs to accelerate dredging and clearing of all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb rain water.
- The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to use AI is to use robots in useful and construtive ways.
- China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
- China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
- China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
- China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news, counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
- China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
- Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
10. China’s troops should never be sent under UN’s peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars –to die for nothing.
11. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
12. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
13. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
14. Pet economy is a wasted economy. Money should be spent for the nourishment and education of children and orphans.
