~ Regarding “How Long” (3X) ~
Introduction
~ This series is about questions
involving Jesus. Some were asked by
individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth. Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked
others. We will look at questions on over
160 topics (some may split into two or more posts). Even so, it is far from an exhaustive
list.
Remark
~ The last two weeks posts in
this series and this final post are by far the most important posts in the
entire series!
Scripture
~ “And when He came to the
disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with
them. Immediately, when they saw Him,
all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. And He asked the scribes, ‘What are you
discussing with them?’ …
“He answered
him and said, ‘O faithless generation, how long shall I be
with you? How long
shall I bear with you? Bring him to
Me.’
Then they
brought him to Him. And when he saw Him,
immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed,
foaming at the mouth.
“So He asked
his father, ‘How long has this been happening to him?’
“And he said,
‘From childhood. And often he has thrown
him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion
on us and help us.’
“Jesus said
to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’
Immediately
the father of the child cried out and said with tears, ‘Lord, I believe; help
my unbelief!’ …
“So He said
to them, ‘This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting’ (Mark
9:14-29).
Comment
~ “How long” is repeated three
times in this passage.
The key
question and most important question for you to answer during your life on
earth is “How long will it be before you accept the
forgiveness of your sins offered to you by your Creator?” He is patiently waiting you. The Spirit of God may well be tugging at your
heart. What will you do with Christ? If you need assistance I suggest that you
