Mark 3:23-25

It is time for a new creation in Christ to rise from the ashes. Christ followers need to come together in unity for good and in so doing bring about good for the entire Body of Christ, His Bride, the Church.

No longer can we stand for any act that is immoral and call it good. We need to stand for what Jesus commanded us to do. He did not speak in parables about the evils of society but directly to those who would choose to listen. Hate never comes from Jesus, remember we love because He first loved us! Those who truly love others have passed from death into life. If the world hates us…so it did Jesus and all the prophets and the saints. 

 What is it if you gain the world and lose your soul?

God first country second. God first monetary gain second. God first party lines second. God first period.

  What did He command us to do? To love God above any person, place or thing  and to love our neighbor as ourself. If we obey Him we fulfill all the commandments. Those who do the will of the Father…they are His brothers and sister.

We need to humble ourselves, ask for forgiveness and come to Him as little children…for what we do to the least of them we do to God.

Jesus’ parables contained truths about the kingdom of God. Jesus confronts the religious leaders with the possibility that, by opposing Him, they might be aligning themselves with evil powers. The defining mark of a disciple of God’s kingdom is allegiance to Jesus and His teaching. Faithlife Bible.

Jesus’ reply in parables was actually a threefold message that contrasted unity and disunity. Nothing—including Satan’s kingdom—can stand if it is divided. NKJ Bible.

Mark 3:23–25 (NKJV)

²³ So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: “How can Satan cast out Satan? ²⁴ If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. ²⁵ And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Matthew 12:25 (NKJV)

²⁵ But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
