“The Power of God”

My Friends,

Today’s Gospel:

Mark 12:18-27 (Questions About The Resurrection)

“And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children; and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise; and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died. In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the Power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong."

Reflection:
God breathe physical life into man, while Jesus breathe spiritual life into the disciples, and us. God's wisdom allowed the Holy Spirit to be so close to our heart beat; that the quiet voice of God can be heard. Our faith-filled life is such a blessing not only to us; but it is such a blessing to all those around us, who's hearts we can touch with that part of God we all have within us to share. This kind of a gift isn't one that should be embraced and put in a safe place and locked up. Rather it should give away over and over again. No matter how much we give away, we will always have more to give.

Come on everybody: Do we really hunger for the life in the Spirit inside of us? and do we really want the Spirit to come alive? The answer is obvious, Yes! The excitement, the joy, the overwhelming power inside me, is the Holy Spirit, it is partly the reason why I am so wound up all the time. The greatest reason why I love this so much, is that the Holy Spirit is self-empowering. The Holy Spirit gives us everything we need to honor, worship and love God with all our hearts, without ever needing to seek anything else. This is what I say to you, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13. Scripture helps us understand the Power of God even more.

It is the power, and the excitement, and the joy that is in the Holy Spirit, that is so alive inside us. No matter what we are going through, no matter how difficult it is; we need to allow the Holy Spirit to come alive inside us and explode with excitement.

Mark 12:18-27

Pondering these thoughts today: Let us begin with these questions: Do we really, truly, with all our hearts, believe the scriptures? Are we confident that the power of the Holy Spirit, can and will work through us, to bring us closer to God? God’s Word is one of the most important part of our lives. We should and must make time to read scripture. Absorb it! Embrace it! Share it!

LOVE YOU GUYS !!!!
