Devotion Mark 1:21 Study 1 Peter 2:22-24

Devotion

Mark 1:21

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾²¹ And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾²¹ And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

My thoughts.

Jesus did not wait, He saw a chance where He could teach and took advantage of it.

Study

1 Peter 2:22-24

King James Version (KJV)

²²Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

²³Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

²⁴Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 Peter 2:22-24

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

²²“who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth”;

²³who when He was reviled, reviled not in return; when He suffered, He threatened not, but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously;

²⁴who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

22 Everyone is a sinner, Christ was the only one without His own sins but He did have ours that He bared. All that Christ ever spoke was true, He was the Word made flesh.

23 Jesus was hated by those who were blinded from the truth and did not see the light, we will also be hated by these people for following after Him, and they will want to do the same things to us on His account. They put Him to death thinking they would get rid of Him but it was according to His plan. They made Him suffer but, He did it for us. He fulfilled the plan of the Father and this is what we should do even if it costs us our lives as well, follow God’s will.

24 Jesus bore our sins, not His own because He had any of His own. He died so that we may live. Without Jesus we were doomed and without hope. We live by His will and His Spirit carries us through our life. He suffered for our sake, He took God’s punishment for us.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

My thoughts.

God will call some to leave what they know to follow Him.

1 Peter 2:19-21

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

²⁰For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²¹For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

¹⁹For this is thankworthy: if a man, because of his conscience toward God, endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

²⁰For what glory is it if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? But if when ye do well and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

²¹For even unto this were ye called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps,

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

19 We should be thankful even though our persecutions. The world will watch us the most thru our persecutions; we need to stand strong for the witness. This world will also cause us grief. This world has caused God Himself grief which is why He ended once with a flood. As we become more like God we will grief the world more like God. Jesus was persecuted we will be for following Him. To be persecuted is to follow after Jesus.

20 Glory is a reflection of God. There is no true glory without having God in our life. We should not look for our faults but look to Him for our strength. Our sins as believers are under the blood of Christ forgiven and forgotten by God and we are not to feel guilt or bad for sins that are forgiven even though the world will throw them in our face. It is not for us to question what God allows the world to put us thru but we should take as Christ did, even if it does cost us our life. Our faith can grow the most during times of trouble if we put trust in Him to get us thru the troubles.

21 Christ died even though He did nothing wrong, people excused Him of wrong doing this could happen with us when the world can not see our sins. The world will look to destroy us because we spread the truth which can expose their evil. The word will shine light of truth into the darkness of this sinful world.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Mark 1:19

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾¹⁹ And when he had gone a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

My thoughts.

We just live a normal life than Jesus comes and it is changed for the better forever.

Study

1 Peter 2:15-18

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

¹⁶As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

¹⁷Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

¹⁸Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1 Peter 2:15-18

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

¹⁵For so is the will of God, that with welldoing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men”

¹⁶as free, and not using your liberty as a cloak for maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

¹⁸Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

15 Gods will is what we believers are to seek to follow. Peter is referring to the believers giving Him praise and giving Him glory. People may not believe in Christ but they can not deny what the way we live when they see first hand and maybe because of our obedience to the Lord we will make them thing, maybe there is something to what they are saying. Our lives could spark a fire for the Spirit to come into them.

16 We are made free in Christ from our sins and from the second death. We are not lie as if we are still serving the evils of our flesh, our own desires. We are to follow God and by this we will grow more like Him and as we go we will be less like the world around us. The more He has changed us the more we will be able to shine the light into the darkness of this world.

17 We should show respect to all people. Jesus went outside what was accepted to talk to those that we outcasts, we should not be afraid to take this same set if He leads us. We should always understand God is all powerful; we live because He allows us to. We should always remain aware of who He is. We should live by the laws of the land and do what those who run the land ask us as long as it doesn’t go against what God wants of us.

18 We should be good workers for our bosses. We should work like a Christian. Many people today only live the Christian walk only around other believers. They do not live like Christian while they work, they do under handed tactics. It is not always easy to do this but we as believers should attempt to take the extra step and please the Lord.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.

Devotion

Mark 1:18

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾¹⁸ And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾¹⁸ And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

My thoughts.
We are to leave the our pasts, our sinful flesh, behind us and just follow Jesus.

Study

1 Peter 2:11-14

King James Version (KJV)

¹¹Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

¹²Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹³Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

¹⁴Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

1 Peter 2:11-14

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

¹¹Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

¹²having your way of life honest among the Gentiles, that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹³Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether it be to the king as supreme,

¹⁴or unto governors as unto those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do well.

21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

11 As believers all we should do should be done with love; Peter wrote this letter out of love and to aid and advise those He loved by sharing what the Spirit had him pen down. We are not meant for this world, we are strangers wandering around the world, when we belong and are meant for heaven and to be with our Lord Jesus. We are not be involved with the fleshly things of this world but be involved with the things of the Spirit and things of the heavenly realm instead of the earthly realm. It will be a constant battle but our spirit and flesh.

12 We are to be different than those of the world, than those without the faith. We are not to live a life of evil but a life that gives glory to the Lord and give Him praise. The world will see our good works and will see how the Lord uses us. They will see us and because of our commitment to the Lord they may give Him praise because of us allowing to be used by the Spirit for the work of the Lord.

13 We are to do the things required of us to continue to serve the Lord. We are to live by the laws of the land just as long as it is not against what the Lord has commanded us in His word and by His Spirit.

14 We may be punished for doing what the Lord leads us to do; the disciples were as well as others were. The scriptures say do not fear those who can destroy the body but fear the one who can destroy the body and soul.

Keep our eyes on Jesus.
