Supposing leads to error, but knowing Jesus and responding to Him in faith is the way of uprightness. Through a miracle Jesus did in a synagogue by loosing a woman from bondage, Jesus demonstrated His power to deliver and save all who come to Him by grace through faith. Today Jesus seeks from all the fruit of repentance to restore us to Himself.

Preparation is a practical part of all our lives inherent to success, and many do not realise the importance of spiritual preparation for a glorious eternal future. Jesus urged all people to prepare themselves to receive Him by faith because a day is coming when all will stand before God and give account for our stewardship. Those who watch and are prepared for Him will be most blessed by Him.

Jesus warned His followers of hypocritically trusting God for eternal life but not seeking Him to meet daily needs. Worry and greed will rob us blind of the abundant life God has already given us. Instead of vainly focusing on earthly security, we find rest for our souls in seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Jesus accepted the invitation of a Pharisee to dine together. During the meal Jesus pronounced many woes upon the self-righteous Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers which have relevance for all people. How gracious is our Saviour who desires mercy over sacrifice.

Jesus did miraculous signs to show He was the Messiah, but it was not enough for some people who were blinded by unbelief. The timeless teaching and exhortation the light of the world Jesus gave to His doubters and disciples is relevant for all today.

The disciples of Jesus asked Him to teach them to pray. In His lesson Jesus also taught them of the nature of God who delights in the persistent asking, seeking, and knocking of His beloved children aided by the Holy Spirit.

In the days of Jeremiah, the people of Judah turned away from the Lord. God sent His prophets to turn them back to Him but unfortunately false prophets captured people's attention. How could this happen then? How can this happen today?

Through the parable of the Good Samaritan and the interaction of Jesus with Martha and Mary we are provided wisdom for living today and eternity. Man's attempts to justify himself will fail, but the ones Jesus justifies by grace through faith in Him have assurance of eternal life and usefulness in His service now.

Jesus sent 70 disciples as lambs among wolves to proclaim the kingdom of God and prepare the way for Jesus. After their return Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit with thanksgiving at the fulfilment of God's awesome plans, and it is fitting we rejoice in Jesus as He works in and through us.

Jesus set His face to go to Jerusalem and called disciples to follow Him. Their interactions provide practical insight of the pitfalls believers face in excusing ourselves from the work He desires to do in and through us by His grace. If we know who Jesus is and the Spirit we are of, we are greatly aided to follow Jesus at any cost.
