Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer and
thank you for joining me today
00:00:17.22\00:00:20.56
for His Words are Life.
Today we are going to be reading
00:00:20.59\00:00:23.62
some of the most beautiful
words about the incredible gift
00:00:23.65\00:00:26.78
of eternal life that God
has made possible to us and then
00:00:26.81\00:00:30.04
how we should
conduct ourselves and behave,
00:00:30.07\00:00:33.39
knowing that we
have been given this gift
00:00:33.42\00:00:35.01
that we are so unworthy of.
But before we read these words,
00:00:35.04\00:00:38.13
let's go to him in prayer.
Oh, heavenly Father thank you
00:00:38.16\00:00:42.39
for sending us your son. Thank
you, Jesus, for dying for us and
00:00:42.42\00:00:46.98
for making it possible
for all who believe in you
00:00:47.01\00:00:50.07
to be with you forever. Please
send your Holy Spirit to bless
00:00:50.10\00:00:55.06
us as we read these words.
May we not only hear them:
00:00:55.09\00:00:58.68
but may they bear fruit
in our lives, to your honor
00:00:58.71\00:01:01.69
and glory. We love you.
Amen I'm reading today from the
00:01:01.72\00:01:06.07
King James version, the book
of Mark, chapter 9 and beginning
00:01:06.10\00:01:10.03
with verse 49. - For everyone
shall be salted with fire, and
00:01:10.06\00:01:15.48
every sacrifice shall be salted
with salt. Salt is good: but if
00:01:15.51\00:01:19.87
the salt have lost his saltiness
wherewith will ye season it?
00:01:19.90\00:01:23.70
Have salt in yourselves,
and have peace one with another.
00:01:23.73\00:01:28.69
This is Mark, chapter 10.
- And he arose from thence,
00:01:28.72\00:01:33.98
and cometh into the coasts
of Judea by the farther side of
00:01:34.01\00:01:37.10
Jordan: and the people resort
unto him again; and as he was
00:01:37.13\00:01:41.26
wont, he taught them again.
And the Pharisees came to him,
00:01:41.29\00:01:44.89
and asked him, Is it lawful
for a man to put away his wife?
00:01:44.92\00:01:48.85
tempting him. And he
answered and said unto them,
00:01:48.88\00:01:52.96
What did Moses command you?
And they said, Moses suffered
00:01:52.99\00:01:57.36
to write a bill of
divorcement and to put her away.
00:01:57.39\00:02:00.10
And Jesus answered and
said unto them, For the hardness
00:02:00.13\00:02:04.08
of your heart he wrote you this
precept. But from the beginning
00:02:04.11\00:02:07.66
of the creation God made them
male and female. For this cause
00:02:07.69\00:02:12.40
shall a man leave his
father and mother, and cleave to
00:02:12.43\00:02:15.77
his wife; and they twain shall
be one flesh: so then they are
00:02:15.80\00:02:20.45
no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined
00:02:20.48\00:02:25.36
together, let not man
put asunder. And in the house
00:02:25.39\00:02:29.81
his disciples asked him again
of the same matter. And he saith
00:02:29.84\00:02:33.68
unto them, Whosoever shall put
away his wife and marry another,
00:02:33.71\00:02:37.81
committeth adultery against
her. And if a woman shall put
00:02:37.84\00:02:41.73
away her husband, and
be married to another,
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.01
she committeth adultery.
And they brought young children
00:02:44.04\00:02:47.70
to him that he should
touch them: and his disciples
00:02:47.73\00:02:50.97
rebuked those that brought them.
But when Jesus saw it, he was
00:02:51.00\00:02:55.71
much displeased, and said unto
them, Suffer the little children
00:02:55.74\00:02:59.34
to come unto me, and forbid them
not: for of such is the kingdom
00:02:59.37\00:03:03.58
of God. Verily I say unto
you, Whosoever shall not receive
00:03:03.61\00:03:08.05
the kingdom of God as a
little child, he shall not enter
00:03:08.08\00:03:11.76
therein. And he took them up
in his arms, put his hands upon
00:03:11.79\00:03:16.07
them and blessed them. And when
he was gone forth into the way,
00:03:16.10\00:03:20.05
there came one running, and
kneeled to him, and asked him.
00:03:20.08\00:03:23.77
Good Master, what shall I do
that I may inherit eternal life?
00:03:23.80\00:03:28.29
And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest thou me good?
00:03:28.32\00:03:33.04
there is none good
but one, that is, God.
00:03:33.07\00:03:36.57
Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery, Do not
00:03:36.60\00:03:40.75
kill, Do not steal, Do not
bear false witness, Defraud not,
00:03:40.78\00:03:45.44
Honor thy father and
mother. And he answered and said
00:03:45.47\00:03:49.11
unto him, Master, all these
have I observed from my youth.
00:03:49.14\00:03:52.62
Then Jesus beholding him
loved him, and said unto him,
00:03:52.65\00:03:58.63
One thing thou lackest; go thy
way, sell whatsoever thou hast,
00:03:58.66\00:04:04.89
and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven:
00:04:04.92\00:04:08.11
and come, take up the cross,
and follow me. And he was sad
00:04:08.14\00:04:13.22
at that saying, and went
away grieved: for he had great
00:04:13.25\00:04:17.09
possessions. And Jesus looked
round about, and saith unto his
00:04:17.12\00:04:21.13
disciples, How hardly shall
they that have riches enter
00:04:21.16\00:04:25.35
into the kingdom of God! And
the disciples were astonished
00:04:25.38\00:04:28.77
at his words. But
Jesus answereth again,
00:04:28.80\00:04:31.27
and saith unto them, Children,
how hard is it for them
00:04:31.30\00:04:34.77
that trust in riches to
enter into the kingdom of God.
00:04:34.80\00:04:38.64
It is easier for a camel to
go through the eye of a needle,
00:04:38.67\00:04:42.18
than for a rich man to
enter into the kingdom of God.
00:04:42.21\00:04:45.79
And they were astonished out of
measure, saying among themselves
00:04:45.82\00:04:50.36
Who then can be saved? And
Jesus looking upon them saith,
00:04:50.39\00:04:55.21
With men it is impossible,
but not with God: for with God
00:04:55.24\00:05:00.86
all things are possible. Then
Peter began to say unto him,
00:05:00.89\00:05:05.56
Lo, we have left all,
and have followed thee.
00:05:05.59\00:05:09.14
And Jesus answered and said,
Verily I say unto you, There is
00:05:09.17\00:05:14.43
no man that hath left house, or
brethren, or sisters, or father,
00:05:14.46\00:05:18.76
or mother, or wife, or
children, or lands, for my sake,
00:05:18.79\00:05:23.22
and the gospel's, but he shall
receive and hundredfold now
00:05:23.25\00:05:26.93
in this time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters,
00:05:26.96\00:05:29.46
and mothers, and children,
and lands, with persecutions;
00:05:29.49\00:05:32.14
and in the world to come eternal
life. But many that are first
00:05:32.17\00:05:38.15
shall be last;
and the last first.
00:05:38.18\00:05:40.65
And they were in the way going
up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went
00:05:40.68\00:05:45.12
before: and they were amazed;
and as they followed, they were
00:05:45.15\00:05:48.65
afraid. And he took again the
twelve, and began to tell them
00:05:48.68\00:05:52.52
what things should happen unto
him, saying, Behold, we go up to
00:05:52.55\00:05:56.44
Jerusalem; and the Son of
man shall be delivered unto the
00:05:56.47\00:06:00.11
chief priests, and unto the
scribes; and they shall condemn
00:06:00.14\00:06:03.39
him to death, and shall deliver
him to the Gentiles: And they
00:06:03.42\00:06:06.79
shall mock him, and shall
scourge him, and shall spit
00:06:06.82\00:06:08.97
upon him, and shall kill
him: and the third day he shall
00:06:09.00\00:06:12.86
rise again. And James and
John, the sons of Zebedee,
00:06:12.89\00:06:17.11
come unto them, saying, Master,
we would that thou shouldest
00:06:17.14\00:06:21.50
do for us whatsoever we shall
desire. And he said unto them,
00:06:21.53\00:06:25.86
What would ye that I should
do for you? They said unto him,
00:06:25.89\00:06:30.45
Grant unto us that we may
sit, one on thy right hand,
00:06:30.48\00:06:34.77
and the other on thy left hand,
in thy glory. But Jesus said
00:06:34.80\00:06:40.86
unto them, Ye know not what
ye ask: can ye drink of the cup
00:06:41.04\00:06:45.22
that I drink of? and be
baptized with the baptism
00:06:45.49\00:06:48.49
that I am baptized
with? And they said unto him,
00:06:48.52\00:06:51.40
We can. And Jesus said unto them
00:06:51.44\00:06:54.22
Ye shall indeed drink of the cup
that I drink of; and with the
00:06:54.25\00:06:59.01
baptism that I am baptized
withal shall ye be baptized
00:06:59.04\00:07:02.46
But to sit on my right hand
and on my left hand is not mine
00:07:02.49\00:07:06.32
give; but it shall be given
to them for whom it is prepared.
00:07:06.35\00:07:10.79
And when the ten heard it,
they began to be much displeased
00:07:10.82\00:07:16.09
with James and John. But Jesus
called them to him, and saith
00:07:16.12\00:07:20.67
unto them, Ye know that
they which are accounted to rule
00:07:20.70\00:07:25.02
over the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them;
00:07:25.05\00:07:28.01
and their great ones
exercise authority upon them.
00:07:28.04\00:07:31.07
But so shall it not be among
you: but whosoever will be great
00:07:31.10\00:07:36.94
among you shall be
your minister: And whosoever
00:07:36.97\00:07:41.79
of you will be the chiefest,
shall be servant of all.
00:07:41.82\00:07:45.68
For even the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but
00:07:45.71\00:07:50.34
to minister, and to give
his life a ransom for many.
00:07:50.37\00:07:54.34
And they came to Jericho:
and as he went out of Jericho
00:07:54.37\00:07:58.71
with his disciples and
a great number of people,
00:07:58.74\00:08:01.29
blind Bartimaeus, the son
of Timaeus, sat by the highway
00:08:01.32\00:08:05.79
beside begging. And when
he head that it was Jesus
00:08:05.82\00:08:09.48
of Nazareth, he began to cry out
and say, Jesus thou son of David
00:08:09.51\00:08:13.76
have mercy on me. And
many charged him that he should
00:08:13.79\00:08:17.04
hold his peace: but he
cried the more a great deal,
00:08:17.07\00:08:20.79
Thou son of David, have mercy
on me. And Jesus stood still,
00:08:20.82\00:08:25.06
and commanded him to be called.
And they call the blind man,
00:08:25.09\00:08:28.73
saying unto him, Be of good
comfort, rise: he calleth thee.
00:08:28.76\00:08:32.17
And he, casting away his
garment rose, and came to Jesus.
00:08:32.20\00:08:36.62
And Jesus answered and
said unto him, What wilt thou
00:08:36.65\00:08:40.15
that I should do unto thee?
The blind man said unto him,
00:08:40.18\00:08:43.53
Lord, that I might receive my
sight. And Jesus said unto him,
00:08:43.56\00:08:48.04
Go thy way; thy faith hath
made thee whole. And immediately
00:08:48.07\00:08:52.98
he received his sight,
and followed Jesus in the way.
00:08:53.01\00:08:56.24
I'm reading from the
book of Mark, chapter eleven.
00:08:56.27\00:08:59.57
And when they came nigh
to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage
00:08:59.60\00:09:04.04
and Bethany, at the mount
of Olives, he sendeth forth two
00:09:04.07\00:09:07.91
of his disciples, and saith
unto them, Go your way into the
00:09:07.94\00:09:11.92
village over against you: and
as soon as ye be entered into it
00:09:11.95\00:09:15.39
ye shall find a colt
tied, whereon never man sat;
00:09:15.42\00:09:19.34
loose him, and bring him. And
if any man say unto you, Why do
00:09:19.37\00:09:24.69
ye this, say ye that
the Lord hath need of him;
00:09:24.72\00:09:28.38
and straightway he will
send him hither. And they went
00:09:28.41\00:09:32.51
their way and found
the colt tied by the door
00:09:32.54\00:09:34.99
without in a place where two
ways met; and they loose him.
00:09:35.02\00:09:38.26
And certain of them that
stood there said unto them,
00:09:38.29\00:09:41.26
What do ye, loosing the
colt? And they said unto them
00:09:41.29\00:09:45.06
even as Jesus had commanded:
and they let them go. And they
00:09:45.09\00:09:49.47
brought the colt to Jesus,
and cast their garments on him;
00:09:49.50\00:09:52.51
and he sat upon him. And many
spread their garments in the way
00:09:52.54\00:09:56.34
and others cut down branches
off the trees, and strawed them
00:09:56.37\00:09:59.52
in the way. And they that went
before, and they that followed,
00:09:59.55\00:10:03.19
cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed
is he that cometh in the name
00:10:03.22\00:10:07.45
of the Lord: Blessed be the
kingdom of our father David,
00:10:07.48\00:10:11.28
that cometh in the name of the
Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
00:10:11.31\00:10:14.63
And Jesus entered into Jerusalem
and into the temple: and when he
00:10:14.66\00:10:19.11
had looked round about upon
all things, and now the eventide
00:10:19.14\00:10:22.55
was come, he went out
unto Bethany with the twelve.
00:10:22.58\00:10:25.57
And on the morrow, when
they were come from Bethany,
00:10:25.60\00:10:29.01
he was hungry: And seeing a
fig tree afar off having leaves;
00:10:29.04\00:10:33.39
he came if haply he might find
anything thereon: and when he
00:10:33.42\00:10:38.25
came to it, he found nothing
but leaves; for the time of figs
00:10:38.29\00:10:41.83
was not yet. And Jesus
answered and said unto it,
00:10:41.86\00:10:45.80
No man eat fruit of
thee hereafter for ever.
00:10:45.83\00:10:49.67
And his disciples heard
it. And they come to Jerusalem:
00:10:49.70\00:10:54.10
and Jesus went into the temple,
and began to cast out them
00:10:54.13\00:10:57.42
that sold and bought in
the temple, and overthrew
00:10:57.45\00:11:00.94
the tables of the money
changers, and the seats of them
00:11:00.97\00:11:03.41
that sold doves; And would
not suffer that any man should
00:11:03.44\00:11:06.83
carry any vessel through the
temple. And he taught, saying
00:11:06.86\00:11:10.17
unto them, Is it not written,
My house shall be called
00:11:10.20\00:11:13.68
of all nations the house
of prayer? but ye have made it
00:11:13.71\00:11:17.54
a den of thieves. And
the scribes and chief priests
00:11:17.57\00:11:21.22
heard it and sought how
they might destroy him: for they
00:11:21.25\00:11:25.14
feared him, because all
the people were astonished
00:11:25.17\00:11:27.32
at his doctrine. And
when even was come, he went
00:11:27.35\00:11:30.73
out of the city. And in
the morning, as they passed by,
00:11:30.76\00:11:34.45
they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots.
00:11:34.48\00:11:38.35
And Peter calling to remembrance
saith unto him, Master, behold,
00:11:38.38\00:11:43.59
the fig tree which thou
cursedst is withered away.
00:11:43.62\00:11:46.73
And Jesus answering saith
unto them, Have faith in God.
00:11:46.76\00:11:51.30
For verily I say unto you, that
whosoever shall say unto this
00:11:51.33\00:11:55.67
mountain, Be thou removed,
and be cast into the sea;
00:11:55.70\00:11:59.34
and shall not doubt in
his heart but shall believe
00:11:59.37\00:12:02.70
that those things which
he saith shall come to pass;
00:12:02.73\00:12:05.08
he shall have whatsoever he
saith. Therefore I say unto you,
00:12:05.11\00:12:10.06
What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye
00:12:10.09\00:12:15.32
receive them and ye shall have
them. And when ye stand praying,
00:12:15.35\00:12:19.68
forgive if ye have aught against
any: that your Father also which
00:12:19.71\00:12:24.53
is in heaven may
forgive you your trespasses.
00:12:24.56\00:12:27.66
But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father
00:12:27.69\00:12:31.20
which is in heaven forgive your
trespasses. And they come again
00:12:31.23\00:12:35.38
to Jerusalem: and as he
was walking in the temple,
00:12:35.41\00:12:37.73
there come to him the
chief priests, and the scribes,
00:12:37.76\00:12:40.96
and the elders, and say
unto him, By what authority
00:12:40.99\00:12:44.28
doest thou these things?
and who gave thee this authority
00:12:44.31\00:12:47.71
to do these things? And Jesus
answered and said unto them,
00:12:47.74\00:12:51.91
I will also ask of you
one question, and answer me,
00:12:51.94\00:12:56.39
and I will tell you by what
authority I do these things.
00:12:56.42\00:12:58.89
The baptism of John, was
it from heaven, or of men?
00:12:58.92\00:13:03.42
Answer me. And they reasoned
with themselves, saying,
00:13:03.45\00:13:07.53
If we shall say, From heaven;
he will say, Why then did ye
00:13:07.56\00:13:11.13
not believe him? But
if we shall say, Of men;
00:13:11.16\00:13:14.00
they feared the people: for all
men counted John, that he was
00:13:14.03\00:13:17.98
a prophet indeed. And they
answered and said unto Jesus,
00:13:18.01\00:13:21.34
We cannot tell. And Jesus
answering saith unto them,
00:13:21.37\00:13:25.32
Neither do I tell you by what
authority I do these things.
00:13:25.35\00:13:29.24
I'm reading from the
book of Mark, chapter twelve.
00:13:29.27\00:13:32.98
And he began to speak unto
them by parables. A certain man
00:13:33.01\00:13:37.90
planted a vineyard, and set
an hedge about it, and digged a
00:13:37.93\00:13:41.05
place for the winevat, and
built a tower, and let it out
00:13:41.08\00:13:44.21
to husbandmen, and went into
a far country. And at the season
00:13:44.24\00:13:48.26
he sent to the husbandmen a
servant, that he might receive
00:13:48.29\00:13:51.73
from the husbandmen
the fruit of the vineyard.
00:13:51.76\00:13:53.84
And they caught him, and beat
him, and sent him away empty.
00:13:53.87\00:13:57.62
And again he sent unto
them another servant; and at him
00:13:57.65\00:14:01.95
they cast stones, and wounded
him in the head, and sent him
00:14:01.98\00:14:04.76
away shamefully handled.
And again he sent another;
00:14:04.79\00:14:09.57
and him they killed, and
many others; beating some,
00:14:09.60\00:14:12.88
and killing some.
Having yet therefore one son,
00:14:12.91\00:14:17.01
his well beloved, he sent
him also last unto them, saying,
00:14:17.04\00:14:21.96
They will reverence my son. -
Thank you again for joining me

His Words are Life.
00:14:27.47\00:14:29.36

his care. Goodbye.
