I am loving the gospels more and more every day. My good friend Paul Hartung has advised me to be always and consistently reading the Gospels and the Psalms; I think he is right….  (Mark 1:34)

Jesus so often commanded both demons and those who were healed by him of demons and other sicknesses and maladies to not speak a word about who he was or what he did.
I read today this about the “hidden-ness” of Christ: That which changes the human heart and ultimately compels one to recognize and follow Jesus can never come from coercion or a display of miraculous power. Jesus will have no allegiance exacted by amazement and astonishment. The faith of his disciples must be evoked through humility and ultimately through suffering. If one will not receive Jesus in this form, one will not receive Jesus in all his power and majesty… Until the consumption of Jesus’ work on the cross all speculations about him are premature. Only on the cross can Jesus be rightly known. James Edwards,  PNTC Mark
Thank Him that our King’s throne was a cross! Only in it do we see His majesty.. What wondrous love is this…. Oh what free and magnificent grace!
