Mark 12:35-40, NIV
MM
David called Christ “LORD” vs 36-37 and not son.
Hypocrites would be severely punished…watch out for the teachers of the law …walk around in flowing robes and be greeted in the market-places, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honour at banquets…devour widows houses and for a shoe make lengthy prayers.
Th: Beware of appearance and show. Looks deeper in a person’s actions and motives.
Revelation 2:1-7, NIV
…to the church in Ephesus…words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands….know your hard work…perseverance…not tolerate wicked men..tested those who claim to be apostles…endured hardships for my names…not grown weary…hold this against you..you have forsaken your first love vs 4.
To him who overcomes I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God vs 7.
