The Book of Mark parallels and covers much of the same material covered in [[Matthew]], but from a different point of view. In chapter 8:35-38 there is a message that should grip the hearts of every individual. So much importance is placed upon this life, and the profit and gain of this world. [[Jesus]] said, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Eternity is sure and everlasting. The man who prepares for the future is a wise man. Christ died that we might have assurance of eternity in [[heaven]]. It is the responsibility of every individual to accept [[Jesus]] Christ by [[faith]], and receive His free pardon of [[sin]]. This is explained so beautifully in [[John]] 3.
'''MEMORY VERSE FOR TODAY:''' Man now can be: Righteous.
[[Romans]] 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
