Mark 12:24
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?”
δύναμις
The root of our word dynamite. But dunamis is not explosive destruction — it is the inherent ability to accomplish what needs to be done. Jesus says you will receive this power. Not work for it, earn it or deserve it. Receive it. The Holy Spirit is not a reward. He is a gift.
