The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 19:23-30

With God All Things Are Possible

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 “And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.
30 “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?”
49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

The Gospel Of Matthew Chapter 10:34-39

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

35 “For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’,

36 “and ‘man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’

37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38 “And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

39 “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

SHINE

Shine.
The world is longin’ to see the light.
Cryin’, waitin’ in the night
To see the morning star shine.
Shine.

Shine.
You are the children of light.
You have to shine through the night,
Through the night.
Shine.
The world is longin’ to see the light.
Cryin’, waitin’ in the night
To see the morning star shine.
Shine.

You are called to be His people
And to be His holy nation.
You must speak the living word
So the voice of God is heard.

It’s time to rise and…

Shine.
You are the children of light.
You have to shine through the night,
Through the night.
Shine.
The world is longin’ to see the light.
Cryin’, waitin’ in the night
To see the morning star shine.
Shine.

You are called to love each other
As the Master loved you first.
And He prayed that you’d be one
That the world may believe.

Now it’s time to…

Shine.
You are the children of light.
You have to shine through the night,
Through the night.
Shine.
The world is longin’ to see the light.
Cryin’, waitin’ in the night
To see the morning star shine, shine.
Shine.
