090 Judges 13 – 14; Mark 10.1 – 10.34
Mr. Israel is what people called him because he was “the bomb” when it came to strength. His real name was Samson. Yes, Israel was in trouble again and God helps by helping Manoah's wife to have a baby. The baby is to be a Nazirite from birth for he will grow up to be Israel's deliverer. Samson was born for a purpose. You are born for a purpose as well.
God was using Samson to confound and defeat the Philistines. Each time Samson went to fight them the Scriptures tell us that the Spirit of God came upon him in a mighty way. The key to Samson's strength was not his ability but God's power. The key for victory for every Christian is to deeply understand we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. What Philistine are facing today? this week? Know that God can give you the victory because Christ lives in you by the power of His Holy Spirit.
Good teacher, what must I do to get eternal life? Don't you wish you got more of those kinds of questions? The answer that Jesus gives is not from any text book that I have ever read. I do believe that in the context, Jesus who could read hearts (we can't) knew what was blocking him from the truth. So, Jesus went to the issue at hand. The disciples were blown away by His answer and further explained that with God all things are possible even getting people into heaven who think they have everything. Don't give up people for all things are possible with God our Savior.
