What do you think Jesus is talking about when He says"I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."? I had a thought that maybe He was talking about His death. When Jesus died and it was over, that in essence was when the Kingdom of God came, that was the point in time when we became saved. The Kingdom came and the only one dead at the time was Judas, what's your thought?
Elijah was taken away to heaven yet Moses saw the promise land but never entered. If the Kingdom of God had not come yet, Jesus was still alive, how did Moses come from the dead, and why? Who was God talking to when He said this is my Son whom I love, listen to him! Was the voice for Moses and Elijah or for the prophets?
I love the statement of the father when he says," But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us." If you can, I have heard that many times in church when someone is praying and I think to myself, if you can, God can do anything, it should be if it's your will. Jesus says this demon can only come out by prayer, that's why the disciple's could not drive it out, yet Jesus rebukes the demon and it comes out. Prayer or rebuke, disciple or Jesus?
Allot of different things in this chapter, being like little children, the least is the greatest, how many times do we put ourselves in those positions. Everybody wants to be first,nobody wants to be last. Reply to this
