Marcos 7:22

Have you heard the vocal warm-up, “Me-me-me-me-me-me-me….”? This phrase can also characterize the attitude of one who places his or her own desires before others’ needs.

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

But the surest defense against him is a firm understanding of what Christ has done for us. We were sinners, but he forgave us through His shed blood, He intercedes for us even now, and is preparing a place for us to live with Him forever.
