John Wells - September 20th, 2026 - The Teachings of Jesus Christ in Mark Chapter 10
Jesus taught in Parables, in Principles, and in Spiritual Paradoxes
1 Corinthians 2:14
“ The natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God for they are folly (foolishness) to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned ”
Jesus taught Spiritual Paradoxes
Two shall be one flesh - Marriage
Rich shall become poor – Eternal Life
Loss shall become gain – Discipleship
The servant shall become Ruler – Humility
Jesus warned us about :
Our Deception
Hardness of heart
Lust for possessions
Lack of child like faith
Short term thinking
2. Our Decisions
Accept the Lord Jesus Christ or reject him
Seek comfort, ease and financial security or be a true disciple of Jesus Christ
3. Our Discernment
Who can be saved ? Jesus said “ with God all things are possible”
Greatness vs Humility
Suffering before Glory -
Jesus’s teaching :
Marriage – Two shall be one
Covenant relationship – joined by God - one man with one women
Life long union - Two become one – for life – not to be separated
2. Eternal Life – The rich become poor
God must have first place in my heart
Conviction, Repentance, Surrender , Faith , Forgiveness & Contentment
3. Discipleship – Loss becomes gain
We have left all and followed you – let go of everything
You will receive one hundred fold – rich spiritual blessing
4. Humility – the servant of all become the ruler
The greatest is the one who serves – even the Son of Man …
First shall be last and the last shall be the first Mark 10:31
