A Message From Pastor Dwight Cockerham

A Note From The Pastor’s Desk
Mark 9:8
ONLY JESUS

The KJV interpretation of our text “c clause” concludes “Jesus Only” was with His disciples.  Let's reverse the KVJ to say “Only Jesus”.

​

Great encouragements can be gleaned from these two words.  Whether we use the KJV or a reversed use of these two words, when we examine our text scripture as well as the surrounding context of scriptures, “Only

Jesus” is the object of so much before us.

 

Prior to our text chapter and verse, Mark 9:8 it is Only Jesus who instructs His followers to deny self, take up their cross, and follow Him (Mark 8:34).  ONLY JESUS speaks to them of a saved life that consists of losing a lifestyle to gain A Gospel Lifestyle (Mark 8:35). ONLY JESUS encourages his followers to not be ashamed to share Him and His Words (Mark 8:38). And  ONLY JESUS encourages His followers to not be ashamed to share Him and His Words (Mark 8:28).

 

Furthermore, ONLY JESUS shined exceedingly white as snow while conversing with Elijah and Moses. God bearing witness to ONLY JESUS as His beloved son in whom He is well-pleased (Mark 9:7).

​

These references to ONLY JESUS speak volumes to Jesus alone being our

Strength and Security in these most recent events. 


Only JESUS
JESUS Only

Has left us precious promises: 
- I will not leave you comfortless - John 14:8
- Be of good cheer - John 16:33
- Let not your hearts be troubled - John 14:1
- I am come that you may have life and have life more abundantly - John 10:10

​

HOLD ONLY TO JESUS!
