"He also said to them, "Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come in power."" Mark 9:1
What showed the kingdom of God come in power? The people of that time needed a king who would save them from the suppression they were under. Jesus was in high demand, healing the sick and casting out demons. Even while doing these things He was showing them what it meant to be in the kingdom of God, yet they didn't understand. On Palm Sunday they praised their King as he rode in on a donkey. This was their savior. Christ surrendered His will to the Father, Jesus changes how the word power is used. The kingdom is of God came in power when Jesus surrendered Himself and crawled on to the cross. Have You surrendered? Or are you still afraid of death

Dear Lord Jesus, You are mighty when it appears You are weak. I ask for help in not buying into the worlds view of power. Lord, Your Kingdom didn't come until You died on a cross. Help me surrender as You did for the Father. Bless this day with understanding and insight. Guard us from the wickedness of the devil and may we do the will of the Father today. Jesus, Lead the way, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.
