“Lord Instills Forever Emancipation!"(L.I.F.E)”

Ramesh C. Reddy
Publisher

SCRIPTURE:

“The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God." (Mark 1:1, NIV)

Observation/Interpretation:
I asked myself why does the Gospel of Mark start out with “The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
What comes to my mind is that Mark wants to introduce us to the Gospel through Jesus Christ. The Gospel cannot exist apart of Jesus Christ. By stating 'the beginning of the Gospel', Mark is preparing us to go on an adventure with Jesus Christ and learn what the Gospel really means. This Gospel will be revealed through Jesus Christ in the chapters that follow throughout the Gospel of Mark.

Implications:
I asked myself what are the implications for my own life?
If I want to really understand what the Gospel is really about, I cannot do that apart from knowing what is revealed about Jesus Christ. When I learn what is revealed about Jesus Christ through His claims, His capability, His circumstances, His character, His convictions, His commitment, and His credibility as I study the Gospel of Mark, I will come to understand why the Gospel of Mark starts out with 'The beginning of the Gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God' for the Gospel is revealed through Jesus Christ for me. This also means I should put aside my own preconceived notions about the Gospel and investigate what is revealed about the Gospel in the chapters that follow as I look at the life of Jesus Christ. Already, I see a claim being made for Jesus Christ that He is the Son of God. I am excited to be investigating Jesus at Pittsburgh Standard using the Gospel of Mark as a credible news source. There is no fake news here.

I ask you now dear friend, why bother with the L.I.F.E of Jesus Christ?
Dear friend, it is very important for us to bother with the life of Jesus Christ because only then can we really understand what the Gospel means for our lives. As we investigate the life of Jesus Christ by using the Gospel of Mark as a credible news source, we will come to discover how Jesus Christ alone is connected with the Gospel and what it means for our own lives. This means we should diligently explore each individual statement from the news source not keeping any statement unturned. Come join me in this exciting adventure!

 I am very excited to see what evidence is revealed in the life of Jesus Christ to understand what the Gospel is about for my life. I hope you would join me in exploring the Gospel of Mark verse by verse whether you believe in Jesus Christ or not. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, this will only strengthen your own faith and if you are not a believer yet, I believe you can come to believe in Jesus Christ and what He has in store for you!

It starts with making a conscious effort to explore and investigate Jesus Christ. You will not be disappointed so I hope you join me in this adventure each time for then you will come to understand the 'Beginning of the Gospel.". This alone is exciting because it does not say the beginning and the end of the Gospel. There is so much to the Gospel that you will come to understand as you look at God's Word through the Gospel of Mark and then start to investigate Genesis to Revelation. We will start out with the 7 C's of Jesus: His claims, His credibility, His circumstances, His character, His commitment, His convictions, and His capability.

May you come to know and understand the Gospel about Jesus Christ for your own life! Amen!

"Lord Instills Forever Emancipation!"(L.I.F.E)/"Why bother with the L.I.F.E of Jesus Christ?"

Prayer:
Father God as I investigate the life of Jesus Christ, I know the Gospel will be revealed to me through Jesus Christ. Help me Father God to investigate the life of your Son that I may understand truly the beginning of the Gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Thank you Father God as I look at Jesus' claims, capability, credibility, circumstances, character, convictions, and commitment, I will learn about Jesus and the Gospel in a non-threatening way. Help me not to give up but keep searching the Scriptures. I pray for those that don't know you or searching for you that you would reveal yourself to them through this Gospel. Help them to learn about Jesus that they may come to know Jesus as their own Lord and Personal Savior. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace, Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a life of righteousness, holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case. Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN! (Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)

May the Lord Jesus guide you in His love leading you! Amen!

No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend. You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who brings us hope, healing, and help by His grace alone!
