March 13th: Mark 9:1: They Would See the Power of the Kingdom

The people who are listening to Jesus at this time would see Gods kingdom come in with power. . All of Jesus closest disciples, except for Judas, saw Jesus ressurection and saw the day of Pentacost in Acts 2. Gods kingdom is revealed, with power, in both of those instances. Acts Chapter 2:2-4 says "Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were sitting. And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them." That is the kingdom of God coming in power. Later on the day of Pentacost Peter, who just days before had been a fisherman, preaches the gospel. The response of the crowd is amazing Acts 2:41 says "So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added." 3000 people came to know Jesus because of the message that was proclaimed. That is the power of God's kingdom revealed!
