Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer and
thank you for joining me today
00:00:16.43\00:00:20.00
for His Words are Life.
Before we go to the word of God,
00:00:20.03\00:00:23.15
let's go to God
in prayer together.
00:00:23.18\00:00:24.75
Our dear heavenly
Father, thank you so very much
00:00:24.78\00:00:28.78
for the blessings that you
just pour upon us every day;
00:00:28.81\00:00:31.72
and the blessing of the
word that you have preserved
00:00:31.75\00:00:34.96
through all these
years to be a guide to us
00:00:34.99\00:00:38.17
and a light to our
path: A blessing at this time,
00:00:38.20\00:00:40.51
especially apart right now
to spend with you in your word.
00:00:40.54\00:00:45.44
Please send your Holy Spirit
to be with us. Guide our minds
00:00:45.47\00:00:48.60
that we might understand. Thank
you so much for loving us. Amen.
00:00:48.63\00:00:53.31
I'm reading today from
the King James Version,
00:00:53.34\00:00:57.06
in the book of
Mark, chapter twelve.
00:00:57.09\00:00:59.60
When we last read it was
the story that Jesus was telling
00:00:59.63\00:01:02.60
of a man that planted a vineyard
and gave it to workers to
00:01:02.63\00:01:06.17
take care of and he sent
his servant to these workers
00:01:06.20\00:01:08.70
to collect the fruit of
the vineyard and the workers
00:01:08.73\00:01:11.50
killed the servant. And
servant after servant was sent
00:01:11.53\00:01:14.47
to collect and time and again
they were killed. So finally
00:01:14.50\00:01:17.90
the owner said, I
will send my beloved son.
00:01:17.93\00:01:20.27
Surely they will treat him with
respect. And now we'll pick up
00:01:20.30\00:01:23.80
the story again in Mark, chapter
twelve, beginning with verse 7.
00:01:23.83\00:01:28.64
But those husbandmen said among
themselves, This is the heir;
00:01:28.67\00:01:33.70
come, let us kill him, and
the inheritance shall be ours.
00:01:33.73\00:01:37.78
And they took him, and killed
him, and cast him out of the
00:01:37.81\00:01:41.98
vineyard. What shall therefore
the lord of the vineyard do?
00:01:42.01\00:01:45.64
he will come and
destroy the husbandmen,
00:01:45.67\00:01:48.65
and will give the
vineyard unto others.
00:01:48.68\00:01:50.33
And have ye not read this
scripture; The stone which
00:01:50.36\00:01:54.38
the builders rejected is
become the head of the corner.
00:01:54.41\00:01:57.78
This is the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes?
00:01:57.82\00:02:01.16
And they sought to lay hold
on him, but feared the people:
00:02:01.19\00:02:05.59
for they knew that he had
spoken the parable against them:
00:02:05.62\00:02:09.39
and they left him
and went their way.
00:02:09.42\00:02:11.33
And they send unto him
certain of the Pharisees
00:02:11.36\00:02:14.88
and of the Herodians,
to catch him in his words.
00:02:14.91\00:02:17.87
And when they were come,
they say unto him, Master,
00:02:17.90\00:02:20.88
we know that thou art
true, and carest for no man:
00:02:20.91\00:02:24.44
for thou regardest
not the person of men,
00:02:24.47\00:02:27.54
but teachest the
way of God in truth:
00:02:27.57\00:02:29.27
Is it lawful to give tribute to
Ceasar, or not? Shall we give,
00:02:29.30\00:02:34.57
or shall we not give? But
he, knowing their hypocrisy,
00:02:34.60\00:02:39.23
said unto them, Why
tempt ye me? bring me a penny,
00:02:39.26\00:02:43.36
that I may see it. And
they brought it. And he saith
00:02:43.39\00:02:47.31
unto them, Whose is this
image and superscription?
00:02:47.34\00:02:50.46
And they said unto him,
Ceasar's. And Jesus answering
00:02:50.49\00:02:55.56
said unto them, Render to Ceasar
the things that are Caesar's,
00:02:55.59\00:02:59.83
and to God the things that are
God's. And they marveled at him
00:02:59.86\00:03:05.21
Then come unto him the Sadducees
00:03:05.24\00:03:08.83
which say there
is no resurrection;
00:03:08.86\00:03:10.83
and they asked him, saying,
Master, Moses wrote unto us,
00:03:10.86\00:03:15.43
If a man's brother die,
and leave his wife behind him,
00:03:15.46\00:03:19.17
and leave no children, that his
brother should take his wife,
00:03:19.20\00:03:22.92
and raise up
seed unto his brother.
00:03:22.95\00:03:25.26
Now there were 7 brethren:
and the first took a wife,
00:03:25.29\00:03:28.65
and dying, left no seed. And
the second took her, and died,
00:03:28.68\00:03:33.76
neither left he any
seed: and the third likewise.
00:03:33.79\00:03:37.60
And the seven had
her, and left no seed:
00:03:37.63\00:03:41.53
last of all, the woman
died also. In the resurrection
00:03:41.56\00:03:45.10
therefore, when they shall rise,
whose wife shall she be of them?
00:03:45.13\00:03:49.50
for the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus answering said unto
00:03:49.53\00:03:54.64
them, Do ye not therefore
err, because ye know not
00:03:54.67\00:03:58.53
the scriptures,
neither the power of God?
00:03:58.56\00:04:00.58
For when they shall rise from
the dead, they neither marry,
00:04:00.61\00:04:04.61
nor are given in marriage; but
are as the angels which are in
00:04:04.64\00:04:08.52
heaven. And as touching
the dead, that they rise:
00:04:08.55\00:04:12.22
have ye not read in the
book of Moses, how in the bush
00:04:12.25\00:04:15.82
God spake unto him,
saying, I am the God of Abraham,
00:04:15.85\00:04:19.04
and the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
00:04:19.07\00:04:21.28
He is not the God of the
dead, but the God of the living:
00:04:21.31\00:04:25.27
ye therefore do greatly
err. And one of the scribes came
00:04:25.30\00:04:30.51
and having heard them reasoning
together, and perceiving that
00:04:30.54\00:04:33.74
he had answered them well,
asked him, Which is the first
00:04:33.77\00:04:36.68
commandment of all? And Jesus
answered him, The first of all
00:04:36.71\00:04:40.78
the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God
00:04:40.81\00:04:44.93
is one Lord: And thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy
00:04:44.96\00:04:48.54
heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind,
00:04:48.57\00:04:50.80
and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment.
00:04:50.83\00:04:54.24
And the second is
like, namely this,
00:04:54.27\00:04:56.99
Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself. There is none other
00:04:57.02\00:05:01.19
commandment greater than these.
And the scribe said unto him,
00:05:01.22\00:05:05.74
Well, Master, thou hast said,
the truth: for there is one God;
00:05:05.77\00:05:09.64
and there is none other but
he: And to love him with all
00:05:09.67\00:05:13.86
the heart, and with all
the understanding, and with all
00:05:13.89\00:05:16.09
the soul, and with all
the strength, and to love
00:05:16.12\00:05:18.33
his neighbor as himself, is more
than all whole burnt offerings
00:05:18.36\00:05:22.34
and sacrifices. And when Jesus
saw that he answered discreetly,
00:05:22.37\00:05:27.41
he said unto him, Thou art
not far from the kingdom of God.
00:05:27.44\00:05:31.80
And no man after that
durst ask him any question.
00:05:31.83\00:05:35.61
And Jesus answered and said,
while he taught in the temple,
00:05:35.64\00:05:39.26
How say the scribes that
Christ is the son of David?
00:05:39.29\00:05:43.04
For David himself said by
the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to
00:05:43.07\00:05:47.60
my Lord, Sit thou on my right
hand, till I make thine enemies
00:05:47.63\00:05:51.45
thy footstool. David therefore
himself calleth him Lord;
00:05:51.48\00:05:55.57
and whence is he then his
son? And the common people heard
00:05:55.60\00:06:00.29
him gladly. And he said
unto them in his doctrine,
00:06:00.32\00:06:03.51
Beware of the scribes, which
love to go in long clothing,
00:06:03.54\00:06:08.24
and love
salutations in the marketplaces,
00:06:08.27\00:06:10.89
and the chief seats in the
synagogues, and the uppermost
00:06:10.92\00:06:13.83
rooms at feasts:
Which devour widows' houses,
00:06:13.86\00:06:16.80
and for a pretence make long
prayers: these shall receive
00:06:16.83\00:06:21.54
greater damnation. And Jesus
sat over against the treasury,
00:06:21.57\00:06:26.21
and beheld how the people
cast money into the treasury:
00:06:26.24\00:06:29.31
and many that were rich cast in
much. And there came a certain
00:06:29.34\00:06:34.94
poor widow, and she threw in
2 mites, which make a farthing.
00:06:34.97\00:06:39.50
And he called unto him his
disciples, and saith unto them,
00:06:39.53\00:06:43.47
Verily I say unto you,
That this poor widow hath cast
00:06:43.50\00:06:48.30
more in, than all they which
have cast into the treasury:
00:06:48.33\00:06:51.98
For all they did cast
in of their abundance;
00:06:52.01\00:06:55.61
but she of her want did
cast in all that she had,
00:06:55.64\00:07:01.31
even all her living. - I am
reading from the book of Mark,
00:07:01.34\00:07:05.97
chapter 13. - And as
he went out of the temple,
00:07:06.00\00:07:10.69
one of his disciples saith unto
him, Master, see what manner
00:07:10.72\00:07:15.13
of stones and what buildings are
here! And Jesus answering said
00:07:15.16\00:07:19.56
unto him, Seest thou these great
buildings? there shall not be
00:07:19.59\00:07:23.87
left one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.
00:07:23.90\00:07:27.66
And as he sat upon the mount of
Olives over against the temple,
00:07:27.69\00:07:32.24
Peter and James and John
and Andrew asked him privately,
00:07:32.27\00:07:36.69
Tell us, when shall these things
be? and what shall be the sign
00:07:36.72\00:07:41.21
when all these things shall be
fulfilled? And Jesus answering
00:07:41.24\00:07:45.51
them began to say, Take
heed lest any man deceive you:
00:07:45.54\00:07:49.48
For many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ;
00:07:49.51\00:07:53.00
and shall deceive many.
And when ye shall hear of wars
00:07:53.03\00:07:56.91
and rumors of wars, be ye not
troubled: for such things must
00:07:56.94\00:08:01.16
needs be; but the end shall not
be yet. For nation shall rise
00:08:01.19\00:08:05.73
against nation, and kingdom
against kingdom: and there shall
00:08:05.76\00:08:09.51
be earthquakes in divers places,
and there shall be famines and
00:08:09.54\00:08:12.78
troubles: these are
the beginnings of sorrows.
00:08:12.81\00:08:16.16
But take heed to yourselves:
for they shall deliver you up
00:08:16.19\00:08:20.64
to councils; and in the
synagogues ye shall be beaten:
00:08:20.67\00:08:23.59
and ye shall be brought before
rulers and kings for my sake,
00:08:23.62\00:08:27.48
for a testimony against
them. And the gospel must first
00:08:27.51\00:08:31.28
be published among all nations.
But when they shall lead you,
00:08:31.31\00:08:35.46
and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand
00:08:35.49\00:08:38.30
what ye shall speak, neither do
ye premeditate: for whatsoever
00:08:38.33\00:08:43.03
shall be given you in that hour,
that speak ye: for it is not ye
00:08:43.06\00:08:47.57
that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Now the brother shall betray
00:08:47.60\00:08:52.22
the brother to death,
and the father the son;
00:08:52.25\00:08:54.85
and the children shall
rise up against their parents,
00:08:54.88\00:08:58.04
and shall cause them to be put
to death. And ye shall be hated
00:08:58.07\00:09:01.91
of all men for my name's
sake: but he that shall endure
00:09:01.94\00:09:05.93
unto the end, the same shall
be saved. But when ye shall see
00:09:05.96\00:09:10.86
the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
00:09:10.89\00:09:14.72
standing where it ought not,
let him that readeth understand,
00:09:14.75\00:09:19.63
then let them that be in
Judaea flee to the mountains:
00:09:19.66\00:09:23.62
and let him that is on
the housetop not go down
00:09:23.65\00:09:27.24
into the house, neither enter
therein, to take any thing out
00:09:27.27\00:09:30.25
of his house: And let him that
is in the field not turn back
00:09:30.28\00:09:34.48
again for to take up
his garment. But woe to them
00:09:34.51\00:09:38.01
that are with child, and to them
that give suck in those days!
00:09:38.04\00:09:41.41
And pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter.
00:09:41.44\00:09:45.18
For in those days shall be
affliction, such as was not
00:09:45.21\00:09:49.49
from the beginning of the
creation which God created
00:09:49.52\00:09:52.35
unto this time, neither shall
be. And except that the Lord
00:09:52.38\00:09:57.08
had shortened those
days, no flesh should be saved:
00:09:57.11\00:10:00.09
but for the elect's
sake, whom he hath chosen,
00:10:00.12\00:10:03.32
he hath shortened the days.
And then if any man shall say
00:10:03.35\00:10:08.19
to you, Lo, here is Christ; or
lo, he is there; believe him not
00:10:08.22\00:10:12.91
For False Christs and false
prophets shall rise, and shall
00:10:12.94\00:10:17.98
shew signs and wonders, to
seduce, if it were possible,
00:10:18.01\00:10:21.44
even the elect. But
take ye heed: behold,
00:10:21.47\00:10:25.00
I have foretold
you all these things.
00:10:25.03\00:10:27.52
But in those days,
after that tribulation,
00:10:27.56\00:10:32.20
the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not
00:10:32.23\00:10:35.87
give her light, and the
stars of heaven shall fall,
00:10:35.90\00:10:39.34
and the powers that are
in heaven shall be shaken.
00:10:39.37\00:10:42.14
And then shall they see the
Son of man coming in the clouds
00:10:42.17\00:10:45.66
with great power and glory.
And then shall he send his
00:10:45.69\00:10:50.12
angels, and shall
gather together his elect
00:10:50.15\00:10:52.71
from the four winds, from
the uttermost part of the earth
00:10:52.74\00:10:56.20
to the uttermost part of
heaven. Now learn a parable
00:10:56.23\00:11:00.46
of the fig tree; When her branch
is yet tender, and putteth forth
00:11:00.49\00:11:04.80
leaves, ye know that summer
is near: So ye in like manner,
00:11:04.83\00:11:09.29
when ye shall see these things
come to pass, know that it is
00:11:09.32\00:11:12.99
nigh, even at the doors.
Verily I say unto you, that this
00:11:13.02\00:11:17.54
generation shall not pass,
till all these things be done.
00:11:17.57\00:11:20.96
Heaven and earth shall pass
away: but my words shall not
00:11:20.99\00:11:25.27
pass away. But of that day
and that hour knoweth no man,
00:11:25.30\00:11:29.48
no, not the angels which
are in heaven, neither the Son,
00:11:29.51\00:11:33.77
but the Father. Take ye heed,
watch and pray: for ye know
00:11:33.80\00:11:39.66
not when the time is. For the
Son of man is as a man taking
00:11:39.69\00:11:44.50
a far journey, who left
his house, and gave authority
00:11:44.53\00:11:48.08
to his servants, and to every
man his work, and commanded
00:11:48.11\00:11:51.67
the porter to watch. Watch
ye therefore: for ye know not
00:11:51.70\00:11:55.98
when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight,
00:11:56.01\00:11:59.83
or at the cockcrowing, or in the
morning: Lest coming suddenly
00:11:59.86\00:12:04.57
he find you sleeping. And what
I say unto you I say unto all,
00:12:04.60\00:12:09.43
Watch. - I'm reading
from Mark, chapter fourteen.
00:12:09.46\00:12:13.66
After two days was
the feast of the Passover,
00:12:13.69\00:12:17.86
and of unleavened
bread: and the chief priests
00:12:17.89\00:12:21.04
and the scribes sought how
they might take him by craft,
00:12:21.07\00:12:24.23
and put him to death. But
they said, Not on the feast day,
00:12:24.26\00:12:28.06
lest there be an uproar of
the people. And being in Bethany
00:12:28.09\00:12:31.63
in the house of Simon the leper,
as he sat at meat, there came
00:12:31.66\00:12:35.61
a woman having an alabaster
box of ointment of spikenard
00:12:35.64\00:12:39.28
very precious; and she brake
the box, and poured it on his
00:12:39.31\00:12:43.51
head. And there were
some that had indignation
00:12:43.54\00:12:46.78
within themselves, and said, Why
was this waste of the ointment
00:12:46.81\00:12:50.60
made? For it might have been
sold for more than 300 pence,
00:12:50.63\00:12:54.03
and have been given to the poor.
And they murmured against her.
00:12:54.06\00:12:57.67
And Jesus said, Let her alone;
why trouble ye her? she hath
00:12:57.70\00:13:03.23
wrought a good work on me. For
ye have the poor with you always
00:13:03.26\00:13:07.14
and whensoever ye will ye may
do them good: but me ye have not
00:13:07.17\00:13:13.59
always. She hath done what
she could: she is come aforehand
00:13:13.62\00:13:18.15
to anoint my body to the
burying. Verily I say unto you,
00:13:18.18\00:13:22.15
Wheresoever this gospel shall
be preached throughout the whole
00:13:22.18\00:13:25.53
world, this also that she hath
done shall be spoken of for a
00:13:25.56\00:13:30.18
memorial of her. And Judas
Iscariot, one of the twelve,
00:13:30.21\00:13:34.12
went unto the chief priests,
to betray him unto them.
00:13:34.15\00:13:37.64
And when they heard it,
they were glad, and promised to
00:13:37.67\00:13:40.82
give him money. And he
sought how he might conveniently
00:13:40.85\00:13:44.13
betray him. And the first day
of unleavened bread, when they
00:13:44.16\00:13:47.91
killed the Passover,
his disciples said unto him,
00:13:47.94\00:13:50.56
Where wilt thou that we go
and prepare that thou mayest eat
00:13:50.59\00:13:53.81
the Passover? And he sendeth
forth two of his disciples,
00:13:53.84\00:13:57.47
and saith unto
them, Go ye into the city,
00:13:57.50\00:14:00.28
and there shall meet you a
man bearing a pitcher of water:
00:14:00.31\00:14:03.87
follow him. And wheresoever
he shall go in, say ye to the
00:14:03.90\00:14:08.77
goodman of the
house, The Master saith,
00:14:08.80\00:14:11.03
Where is the guest chamber,
where I shall eat the Passover
00:14:11.06\00:14:13.91
with my disciples? And he
will shew you a large upper room
00:14:13.94\00:14:18.30
furnished and prepared:
there make ready for us.
00:14:18.33\00:14:22.31
And his disciples went forth,
and came into the city, and
00:14:22.34\00:14:26.34
found as he had said
unto them: and they made ready
00:14:26.37\00:14:29.40
the Passover. - Thank you again
for joining me today. Goodbye.
