TIME ALONE WITH JESUS

Today's reading: Mark 4-5

"He used many such stores and illustrations to teach the people as much as they were able to understand. in fact, in his public teaching he taught only with parables, but afterward when he was alone with his disciples, he explained the meaning to them." Mark 4:33-34 NLT

Jesus spoke to crowds.

Jesus preached to multitudes.

Jesus proclaimed His message to throngs.

But it was when He was alone with His closest friends, His most intimate twelve, that He ministered and explained the deepest meanings of His words.

He made sure they understood what He was preaching and teach about.

He wanted them to 'get it'.

That's why He wants time alone with you.

Sure He desires you be at church for worship service and in Bible study with fellow believers, but are you setting aside time for Him to speak to you personally?

Are you making sure there are moments when the world is tuned out and your ears are tuned in to nothing else but Him?
