Jesus ashamed in word retorted
Gospel of Mark Ch 8 v- 34 thru 38
34 (Jesus) summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it. 36 What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 What could one give in exchange for his life? 38 Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
In the world you struggle with this statement of truth; ““Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it.” You don’t want to battle with your surrender to Jesus because you can’t deny yourself and proclaim He who is the Redeemer of the world in everything you do. When you learn to submit to the Cross of Christ in everything you do, you find your thoughts, actions and deeds are centered on living God First. You can and will be forgiven for your struggles of the flesh by calling on His Name to overcome gaining the strength of He who saved the world. God reminds us too that if we deny Him He will deny you in the presence of His Father which means no introduction to Heaven and Life Eternal. Amen.
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty we pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. Silence for the prayers of others dealing with the war in Ukraine. In the Holy Spirit we pray our brothers in Kairos especially a prayer for our men in blue. Day 7 We pray for our niece Brittany who is a mother of four and 33 years old who has brain cancer stage three. We pray for Holy Mother Church. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Jesus ashamed in word retorted**
Disciples His with crowd summoned
Cross his take up himself deny
Me follow
Wishes whoever can comply
Life his lose
Sake Mine find
Gospel you amuse
Life saved unwind
Is profit there in life forfeited
Life his exchange for not
Jesus ashamed in word retorted
Generation sinful and faithless spot
Ashamed be of Man’s Son
Coming He glory of Father His
Angels holy in His glory to see
Whoever claims what the world can’t free
