    Psalm Reading

    Psalm 78:49–52 “He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. He made a path for his anger; he did not spare them from death, but gave their lives over to the plague. He struck down every firstborn in Egypt, the firstfruits of their strength in the tents of Ham. Then he led out his people like sheep and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.”

    Reading

    A Lamp under a Jar
    Mark 4:21–25 ESV
    And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand? For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
    Old & New Treasures
    Matthew 13:51–52 ESV
    “Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.” And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”

    A Lamp under a Jar

    Mark 4:21 ESV
    And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand?
    Ferile hearts resemble shining lamps
    Hearts and lives should be fruitful
    Glorify God, by shining
    The Word of God asserting influence within our hearts and lives
    Hidden by:
    Elaborate Human Traditions
    Hypocritical Actions
    Jesus points out the absurdity if putting a lamp under a basket/jar or bed instead of on a lampstand
    Reminded by Paul in Salutation to Titus:
    Objectively given and promised from eternity
    Hidden - not fuly realised or understood by the men of the old dispensation
    Now fully manifested - by means of universal Gospel-proclamation
    Mark 4:22 ESV
    For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light.
    Men try to cover things up
    but this will always be unsucessful
    God brings everything out into the open
    What is now concealed will be revealed on the day of Judgement
    Many think they can get away with their evil thoughts, plans, words and actions
    God will expose all of it
    Duties of the Citizens of Heaven:
    Mark 4:23 ESV
    If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
    Previously: He who has ears let him hear
    Now: “if anyone has ears to hear, let him hear”
    Mark 4:24 ESV
    And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you.
    Attentively
    Judiciously - reason and good judgement
    With the measure you use, it will be measured to you
    Mark 4:25 ESV
    For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
    Be Careful
    The one who has, more will be given
    The one who has not, event what he has will be taken away
    God’s Riches
    Grace
    Pardons Abundantly
    Lovingkindness

    The True Scribe

    Matthew 13:51–52 ESV
    “Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.” And he said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.”
    Scribe - Student and teacher of God’s Word
    To acknowledge gratefully that our mind has been enriched is wonderful, but is not enough!
    What has been received and understood much be imparted to others
    All citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven should aspire to be “The True Scribe” ...
    a) He must have received adequate training
    in matters regarding The Kingdom of Heaven
    Salvation full and free
    All are invited to enter
    Of Grace and Glory
    b) In the eyes of God, this kingdom-scribe is rich and important
    A Citizen of the kingdom of heaven is endowed with all the rights and priviledges of citizenship
    He is infact the son of the King
    c) This implies that he has the responsibility of providing for his household
    “Who brings out his treasure”
    Opens his treasure store
    God provides a rich supply of knowledge of Scripture
    The way of salvation
    The way of holiness
    The peace that passes all understanding
    The Joy unspeakable and full of glory
    This treasure is imparted first to his household
    And then to others
    d) He must provide “things new and old”
    Scribes were obsessed either with the
    Old - unable to stir men’s souls and to meet his deepest needs
    New - the latest idea or opinion
    The True Scribe
    Must be acquainted with both old and builds on it
    He applies all to new situations
    By God’s Grace, remains ever fresh in his approach, for he drinks from the Fountain of Living Waters
