Jesus Christ is the Son of God who humbled Himself to be a man, and His disciples were eyewitnesses of His glory. The measure of greatness in the kingdom of God is not in calling, gifting, or accomplishments but those who follow His example of faith, obedience, and humility. The least among us will be great, and the greatest is Jesus Christ without rival.

Jesus gave power and authority to His disciples to preach the kingdom of God and over demons and diseases. Surrendering our lives to Jesus in faith and obedience is the only way we can live life to the full. Denying ourselves and taking up our cross daily is (ironically!) the joyous path to a glorious future with Jesus forever.

As Jesus walked the earth people who desperately sought Him were cleansed, healed and restored to wholeness by faith in Him. Those who follow Jesus are exhorted to confess our faults to one another and pray so we can also experience the redemptive touch of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the almighty God before whom troubled seas become tranquil and the demons flee. He gracious and compassionate to all, providing hope and salvation for all who trust in Him. The peace Jesus gives is beyond this world and in light of His glory all else vanishes away.

Jesus taught His disciples through parables to convey timeless spiritual truth. He exhorted His followers to be careful how they heard, for it is possible we can deceive ourselves to believe we are born again when the good seed of His Word remains unfruitful in our lives. It is those who receive the Word and do it Jesus identifies as His closest kin.

At a meal hosted by a Pharisee, Jesus was anointed by a woman of the city who was a sinner. Jesus used the deed of the woman to illustrate the connection between being freely forgiven by God and the fitting response to Him: those love much who have been forgiven much.

Easter is a day for rejoicing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the new life He has provided all who trust in Him. Instead of doubting let us worship Jesus rejoicing, knowing He will never leave or forsake us.

God's wisdom is justified according to His holy Word, but the wisdom of man may be nothing more than assumptions. Wisdom is justified by her children, and transforming power of Jesus is revealed by the fruit of the Spirit through faith. Blessed is he who not offended because of Him!

Jesus demonstrated the love and grace of God by coming to earth to bring salvation to the rich and poor alike. He knows our need and seeks us out, having offered Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. God's people who sow in tears will reap in joy without a doubt.

In His Sermon on the Plain Jesus exposed hypocrisy in the hearts and lives of His followers. For all who claim Jesus is LORD it is a reminder of our need to examine our own hearts and take steps of obedience to Him. Trees are known by their fruit, our hearts are exposed by our words, and the wise are those who come to Jesus, hear His words, and put them into practice in faith.
