But the thing about hatred is it does not just become a killer in the relationship with the person that is its target.

It becomes a murderer to its host.

Jesus compared hatred to murder, and there's a reason for that.

Hatred kills all sorts of things.

Hatred cannot do anything but kill.

Thank you. Would you turn with me, please, to Luke chapter 10.

Oh, we're going to have fun today.

We are going to have some fun today. See, I think Bible study is a blast.

We have to get involved with it and get in there with it, not separate the word of God from the mouth of God.

Does anybody hear what I'm saying to him this morning?

When we're having our study time at home, when we're reading our scriptures, perhaps in the morning, that we're engaging with him, that we're speak to him, we're dialogueing with him, that he's speaking to us through his word and we are speaking back.

Luke chapter 10, I want to read what to any of you really familiar with the Gospels and familiar

with some of these really, really well-known stories.

You will already start smiling by the time I get through the first verse.

It is verse 38 of Luke chapter 10 that says, now as went on their way Jesus entered a village and a woman

named Martha welcomed him into her house and she had a sister called Mary now it just this drives me

crazy I got no answer for you I got all sorts of questions I don't have any answers for whatsoever.

But one of the things that drives me great, you can check any of your major translations,

that she is named Martha and the other woman is called Mary. Why? Why? Why? Why was she going?

Why wasn't she named Mary? One was named Martha and the other one was called Mary.

Well, there can be, there's several meanings to the name Mary, but one of those words can mean bitter.
