Paul instructs Christ followers how to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  

Jesus prepares His disciples for coming events and officiates the first communion.  Jesus gave His body and shed His blood for me (use your name), so that I might have life and have it more abundantly and gave me a way to spend eternity with Him! 

Paul addresses how to handle trials and difficulties we face in life.

Jesus at times taught in parables to allow us to think about eternal truths.  Today we looked at the "Parable of the Wicked Tenants"  where Jesus tells us about the fate of those who reject Jesus's gift of salvation! 
CHRIST FOLLOWERS HAVE WORK TO DO! 
Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
