MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
JESUS IS LORD OF THE SABBATH:
(Matthew 12:1-8)
1. At that particular time Jesus went through the fields of standing grain on the Sabbath; and His disciples were hungry, and they began to pick off the spikes of grain, and to eat. 
2. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him: "See there! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful and not permitted on the Sabbath."
3. He said to them: "Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, and those who accompanied him -
4. "How he went into the house of God and ate the loaves of showbread - which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for the men who accompanied him, but for the priests only?
5. "Or have you never read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple violate the sanctity of the Sabbath (breaking it), and yet are guiltless?  
6. "But I tell you, Something greater and more exalted and more majestic than the temple is here!
7. "And if you only had known what this saying means: 'I desire mercy (readiness to help, to spare, to forgive) rather than sacrifice and sacrificial victims,' you would not have condemned the guiltless. 
8. "For the Son of Man is Lord (even) of the Sabbath."

Dinsdag 9 Februarie 2016. 
WOORD VAN DIE DAG:
(Markus 14:62)

(Matthéüs 12:1-8)
1. In daardie tyd het Jesus op die Sabbat deur die gesaaides geloop, en Sy dissipels het honger geword en  are begin pluk en eet. 
2. Maar toe die Fariseërs dit sien, sê hulle vir Hom: "U dissipels doen wat nie geoorloof is om op die Sabbat te doen nie."
3. Maar Hy sê vir hulle: "Het julle nie gelees wat Dawid gedoen het nie - toe hy en die wat saam met hom was, honger gehad het - 
4. "Hoe hy in die huis van God gegaan en die toonbrode geëet het, wat vir hom en die wat saam met hom was, nie geoorloof was om te eet nie, maar net vir die priesters alleen?
5. "Of het julle nie in die wet gelees dat die priesters op die Sabbat in die tempel die Sabbat ontheilig en onskuldig is nie?
6. "En Ek sê vir julle, Een wat groter is as die tempel is hier. 
7. "Maar as julle geweet het wat dit beteken: 'Ek wil barmhartigheid hê en nie offerande nie,' sou julle die onskuldiges nie veroordeel het nie.
8. "Want die Seun van die Mens, is Here ook van die Sabbat."

THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS. / DIE OORLEWERING VAN DIE OU MENSE.

Thursday 11 February 2016. 
WORD OF THE DAY:
(Matthew 24:44)
"You also must be ready therefore, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him."

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS:
(Mark 7:1-8)
1. Now there gathered together to (Jesus) the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, 
2. For they had seen that some of His disciples ate with common hands, that is, unwashed (with hands defiled and unhallowed, because they had not given them a ceremonial washing) - 
3. For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless (merely for ceremonial reasons) they wash their hands (diligently up to the elbow) with clenched fist, adhering (carefully  and faithfully) to the tradition of (practices and customs handed down to them by) their forefathers (to be observed). 
4. And when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they purify themselves; and there are many other traditions (oral, man-made laws handed down to them, which they observe faithfully and diligently such as) the washing of cups and wooden pitchers and widemouthed jugs and utensils of copper and beds- 
5. And the Pharisees and scribes kept asking (Jesus): "Why do Your disciples not order their way of living according to the tradition handed down by the forefathers (to be observed), but eat with hands unwashed, and ceremonially not purified?"
6. But He said to them: "Excellently and truly (so that there will be no room for blame) did Isaiah prophecy of you, the pretenders and hypocrites, as it stands written: 'These people (constantly) honour Me with their lips, but their hearts hold off and are far distant from Me.     
7. "'In vain (fruitlessly) and without profit) do they worship Me, ordering and teaching (to be obeyed) as doctrines, the commandments and precepts of men.'
8. "You disregard and give up, and ask to depart from you the commandments of God, and cling to the tradition of men (keeping it carefully and faithfully).

Donderdag 11 Februarie 2016. 
WOORD VAN DIE DAG:
(Matthéüs 24:44)
"Daarom moet julle ook gereed wees, want die Seun van die Mens kom op 'n uur dat julle dit nie verwag nie."

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:
DIE OORLEWERING VAN DIE OU MENSE:
(Markus 7:1-8)
1. En die Fariseërs en sommige van die skrifgeleerdes wat van Jerusalem gekom het, het by Hom saamgekom;
2. En toe hulle sommige van Sy dissipels met onrein, dit is met ongewaste hande sien brood eet, het hulle dit afgekeur.  
3. Want die Fariseërs en al die Jode eet nie as hulle nie deeglik die hande gewas het nie, omdat hulle vashou aan die oorlewering van die ou mense.   
4. En wanneer hulle van die mark kom, eet hulle nie as hulle nie gewas het nie; en baie ander dinge is daar wat hulle aangeneem het om te onderhou: die wassery van bekers en kanne en kopergoed en bedde. 
5. Daarop stel die Fariseërs en skrifgeleerdes Hom die vraag: "Waarom wandel U dissipels nie ooreenkomstig die oorlewering van die ou mense nie, maar eet brood met ongewaste hande?"
6. En Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: "Tereg het Jesaja oor julle, geveinsdes, geprofeteer soos geskrywe is: 'Hierdie volk eer my met die lippe, maar hulle hart is ver van My af.  
7. "'Maar tevergeefs vereer hulle My deur leringe te leer, wat gebooie van mense is.'
8. "Want terwyl julle die gebod van God nalaat, hou julle aan die oorlewering van mense vas: die wassery van kanne en bekers, en ander dergelike dinge van dieselfde aard, doen julle baie."

THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS. / DIE OORLEWERING VAN DIE OU MENSE.

Monday 15 February 2016. 
WORD OF THE DAY:
(Ephesians 2:5b)
"By grace you are saved."

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
THE TRADITION OF THE ELDERS, Second section ...
(Mark 7: 9-19)
9. And He said to them: "You have a fine way of rejecting (thus thwarting and nullifying and doing away with) the commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition (your own human regulations)!
10. "For Moses said: 'Honour (revere with tenderness of feeling and deference) your father and mother, and, He who curses or reviles or speaks evil of or abuses or treats improperly his father or mother, let him surely die.'
11. "But (as for you) you say: "A man is exempt if he tells (his) father or mother: 'What you would otherwise have gained from me (everything I have that would have been of use to you) is Corban, that is, is a gift (already given as an offering to God), 
12. "Then you no longer are permitting him to do anything for (his) father or mother (but are letting him off from helping them). 
13. "Thus you are nullifying and making void and of no effect (the authority of) the Word of God through your tradition, which you (in turn) hand on. And many things of this kind you are doing."
14. And He called the people to (Him) again and said to them: "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand (what I say).
15. "There is not (even) one thing outside a man which by going into him, can pollute and defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him, and make him unhallowed and unclean. 
16. "If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening (and let him perceive and comprehend, by hearing)."
17. And when He had left the crowd and had gone into the house, His disciples began asking Him about the parable. 
18. And He said to them: "Then you are also unintelligent and dull and without understanding? Do you not discern and see that whatever goes into a man from the outside cannot make him unhallowed or unclean, 
19. "Since it does not reach and enter his heart, but (only his) digestive tract, and so passes on (into the place designed to receive waste)?" Thus He was making and declaring all foods (ceremonially) clean (that is: abolishing the ceremonial distinctions of the Levitical law).

(Markus 7:9-19)
9. En Hy sê vir hulle: "Julle verstaan dit goed om die gebod van God opsy te sit, en só julle oorlewering te onderhou. 
10. "Want Moses het gesê: 'Eer jou vader en jou moeder, en; hy wat vader of moeder vloek, moet sekerlik sterwe.'
11. "Maar julle sê: 'As 'n mens aan vader of moeder sê: 'Enige voordeel wat u van my mag geniet, is korban, dit is 'n offergawe - '
12. "Dan laat julle hom nie meer toe om iets vir sy vader en moeder te doen nie. 
13. "So maak julle dan die Woord van God kragteloos deur julle oorlewering wat julle bewaar het; en dergelike dinge van dieselfde aard doen julle baie."
14. En Hy het die hele skare na Hom geroep en vir hulle gesê: "Luister almal na My en verstaan. 
15. "Daar is niks wat van buite af in die mens ingaan wat hom onrein kan maak nie; maar die dinge wat van hom uitgaan, dit is die dinge wat die mens onrein maak. 
16. "As iemand ore het om te hoor, laat hom hoor!"
17. En toe Hy van die skare af in 'n huis gekom het, vra Sy dissipels Hom oor die gelykenis. 
18. En Hy sê vir hulle: "Is julle ook so sonder verstand? Begryp julle nie dat alles wat van buite af in die mens ingaan, hom nie onrein kan maak nie, 
19. "Omdat dit nie ingaan in sy hart nie, maar in die maag, en dit gaan in die heimelikheid uit, en maak al die voedsel rein?"

12. "Hoeveel meer is 'n mens dan nie werd as 'n skaap nie! So is dit dan geoorloof om op die Sabbat goed te doen."
13. Toe sê Hy vir die man: "Steek jou hand uit!" En hy het dit uitgesteek, en dit is herstel, gesond soos die ander een. 
14. Daarop het die Fariseërs uitgegaan en saam raad gehou teen Hom, sodat hulle Hom sou kan ombring.

Weekend 12 & 13 March 2016. 
WORD OF THE DAY:
(Luke 2:23)
As it is written in the Law of the Lord: "Every (firstborn) male that opens the womb, shall be set apart and dedicated and called holy to the Lord."
  
MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
JESUS WALKS ON THE SEA:
(Mark 6:45-52) and also:
(Matthew 14:22-36)
45. Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida while He dispersed the crowd.  
46. After saying good-bye to them, He went to the mountain to pray. 
47. When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. 
48. He saw them straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. As the night was ending, He came to them walking on the sea, for He wanted to pass by them. 
49. When they saw Him walking on the water, they thought He was a ghost. They cried out, 
50. For they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke to them: "Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid."
51. Then He went up with them into the boat, and the wind ceased. They were completely astonished.  
52. After they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there. 

(Matthew 14:22-36)
22. Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into a boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He dispersed the crowds. 
23. And after He sent the crowds away, He went up the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there slone. 
24. Meanwhile the boat, already far from land, was taking a beating from the waves because the wind was against it.  
25. As the night was ending, Jesus came to them walking on the sea. 
26. When the disciples saw Him walking on the water they were terrified and said: "It's a ghost!" And cried out with fear.  
27. But immediately Jesus spoke to them: "Have courage, it is I. Do not be afraid." 
28. Peter said to Him: "Lord if it is You, order me to come to You on the water."
29. So He said: "Come." Peter got out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus. 
30. But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out: "Lord, save me!"
31. Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him, saying to him: "You of little faith, why did you doubt!"
32. When they went up into the boat, the wind ceased. 
33. Then those who were in the boat, worshiped Him, saying: "TRULY, YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD." 
34. After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. 
35. When the people there recognized Him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all the sick to Him. 
36. They begged Him if they could only touch the edge of His cloak, and all who touched it, were healed.   

Naweek 12 & 13 Maart 2016. 
WOORD VAN DIE DAG:
(Lukas 2:23)
Soos geskrywe is in die wet van die Here: "Elke manlike kind wat die moederskoot open, sal heilig vir die Here genoem word."

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:
JESUS LOOP OP DIE SEE:
(Markus 6:45-52) asook: 
(Matthéüs 14:22-36)
45. En dadelik het Hy Sy dissipels gedwing om in die skuit te gaan en vooruit te vaar na die oorkant, na Betsáida, onderwyl Hy die skare sou wegstuur. 
46. En nadat Hy van hulle afskeid geneem het, het Hy na die berg gegaan om te bid. 
47. En toe dit aand geword het, was die skuit in die middel van die see, en Hy alleen op die land. 
48. En Hy het gesien dat hulle swaar kry met roei, want die wind was teen hulle. En omtrent die vierde nagwaak het Hy na hulle gekom, al wandelende op die see. En Hy wou by hulle verbygaan. 
49. En toe hulle Hom op die see sien loop, het hulle gemeen dat dit 'n spook was, en hard uitgeskreeu;
50. Want hulle het Hom almal gesien en was ontsteld. Toe spreek Hy dadelik met hulle en sê vir hulle: "Hou goeie moed, dit is Ek, moenie vrees nie."
51. En Hy het by hulle in die skuit geklim, en die wind het gaan lê; en hulle was by hulleself uitermate verbaas en verwonderd. 
 52. Want hulle het by die wonder van die brode, nie verstandig geword nie, omdat hulle hart verhard was.  

(Matthéüs 14:27-36)
27. Maar Jesus het dadelik met hulle gespreek en gesê: "Hou goeie moed, dit is Ek! Moenie vrees nie."
28. En Petrus antwoord Hom en sê: "Here as dit U is, beveel my om op die water na U te kom."
29. En Hy sê: "Kom!" Petrus klim toe van die skuit af, en loop op die water om na Jesus te gaan. 
30. Maar toe hy die sterk wind sien, het hy bang geword; en toe hy begin sink, roep hy uit en sê: "Here, red my!"
31. En Jesus het dadelik Sy hand uitgesteek en hom gegryp en vir hom gesê: "Kleingelowige, waarom het jy getwyfel?"
32. Daarop klim hulle in die skuit en die wind het gaan lê. 
33. Toe kom die wat in die skuit was, en val voor Hom neer, en sê: "WAARLIK, U IS DIE SEUN VAN GOD!"
34. En hulle het oorgevaar en in die land Gennésaret gekom. 
35. En die manne van daardie plek het Hom herken, en in daardie hele  omtrek uitgestuur en almal wat ongesteld was, na Hom gebring; 
36. En hulle het Hom gesmeek dat hulle net maar die soom van Sy kleed mag aanraak; en almal wat dit aangeraak het, het gesond geword.

A GIRL RESTORED TO LIFE, AND A WOMAN HEALED. / DIE DOGTERTJIE VAN JAÏRUS TOT DIE LEWE TERUGGEBRING EN 'N VROU GENEES.

Friday 4 March 2016. 
WORD OF THE DAY:
(Matthew 8:17b)
He took our weaknesses and carried our diseases. (NET version)
He Himself took our infirmaties, and bore our sicknesses. (NKJ version)

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
A GIRL RESTORED TO LIFE, AND A WOMAN HEALED. 
(Mark 5:21-33)
21. When Jesus Had crossed again in a boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him, and He was by the sea. 
22. Then one of the synagogue rulers named Jairus, came up, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at His feet.
23. He asked Him urgently: "My little daughter is near death. Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live."
24. Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him. 
25. Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years. 
26. She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors, and had spent all that she had. Yet, instead of getting better, she grew worse. 
27. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak. 
28. For she kept saying: "If only I touch His clothes, I will be healed."
29. At once the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 
30. Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from Him. He turned around in the crowd and said: "Who touched My clothes?"
31. His disciples said to Him: "You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say: 'Who touched Me?'"
32. But He looked around to see who had done it. 
33. Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth. 
(God willing, I will add verses 34-43 during the weekend.)

(Matthew 9:18-26)
18. As He was saying these things, a ruler came, bowed low down before Him, and said: "My daughter has just died, but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."
19. Jesus and His disciples got up and followed him. 
20. But a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the edge of His cloak. 
21. For she kept saying to herself: "If only I touch His cloak, I will be healed."
22. But when Jesus turned and saw her, He said: "Have courage daughter! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was healed from that hour.  
23. When Jesus entered the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the disorderly crowd,
24. He said: "Go away, for the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they began making fun of Him. 
25. But when the crowd had been put outside, He went in, and gently took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 
26. And the news of this spread throughout that region.  

Vrydag 4 Maart 2016. 
WOORD VAN DIE DAG:
(Matthéüs 8:17b
Hy het ons krankhede op Hom geneem, en ons siektes gedra. 

BOODSKAP VAN DIE DAG:
DIE DOGTERTJIE VAN JAÏRUS TOT DIE LEWE TERUGGEBRING, EN 'N VROU WAT AAN BLOEDVLOEIING GELY HET, GENEES:

(Markus 5:21-32)
21. En toe Jesus weer in die skuit oorgevaar het na die ander kant, het 'n groot menigte by Hom vergader. En Hy was by die see. 
22. En daar kom een van die owerstes van die sinagoge met die naam van Jaïrus; en toe hy Hom sien, val hy aan Sy voete neer,
23. En smeek Hom dringend en sê: "My dogtertjie is op haar uiterste; kom lê haar die hande op, sodat sy gesond kan word, en sy sal lewe." 
24. En Hy het saam met hom gegaan. En 'n groot menigte het Hom gevolg, en Hom verdring. 
25. En 'n sekere vrou wat twaalf jaar lank bloedvloeiing gehad het, 
26. En veel onder baie geneeshere gely het en al haar besittings uitgegee het, sonder om enige baat te vind, maar eerder erger geword het,
27. Het van Jesus gehoor en onder die skare van agter gekom en Sy kleed aangeraak;
28. Want sy het gesê: "As ek maar Sy klere kan aanraak, sal ek gesond word."
29. En dadelik het die fontein van haar bloed opgedroog, en sy het aan haar liggaam bemerk dat sy van haar kwaal genees was. 
30. En dadelik toe Jesus in Homself die krag gewaarword wat van Hom uitgegaan het, draai Hy Hom om onder die skare en sê: "Wie het My klere aangeraak?"
31. En Sy dissipels antwoord Hom: "U sien dat die skare U verdring, en U sê: 'Wie het My aangeraak?"
32. Toe kyk Hy rond om haar te sien wat dit gedoen het. 
33. Die vrou wat gevrees en gebeef het omdat sy wis wat met haar gebeur het, kom toe en val voor Hom neer en vertel Hom die hele waarheid. 
(As die Here wil, sal ek verse 34-43 gedurende die naweek byvoeg.)

(Matthéüs 9:18-26) 
18. Terwyl Hy vir hulle dit sê, kom daar 'n sekere owerste en val voor Hom neer en sê: "My dogter het nou net gesterwe, maar kom en lê U hand op haar, en sy sal lewe."
19. En Jesus het opgestaan en hom gevolg, en ook Sy dissipels. 
20. En daar het 'n vrou wat twaalf jaar lank aan bloedvloeiing gely het, van agter gekom en die soom van sy kleed aangeraak. 
21. Want sy het by haarself gesê: "As ek maar net Sy kleed kan aanraak, sal ek gesond word."
22. En Jesus het omgedraai en haar gesien en gesê: "Hou goeie moed dogter, jou geloof het jou gered." En die vrou het gesond geword van daardie uur af. 
23. En toe Jesus in die huis van die owerste kom, en die fluitspelers sien, en die skare wat te kere gaan,
24. Sê Hy vir hulle: "Gaan weg, want die dogtertjie is nie dood nie, maar sy slaap." En hulle het Hom uitgelag. 
25. En nadat die skare uitgedryf was, het Hy ingegaan en haar hand gegryp; en die dogtertjie het opgestaan. 
26. En die gerug hiervan het deur die hele land versprei.
