If someone hurts us, we should confront them. If they would not listen, take one or two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again.  If he still would not listen, tell the church. If they would not listen to the church, we have to start over from scratch, confront him with the need for repentance, and offer again God's forgiving love. We must do this for false experiences will continue until the lesson will be learned. Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven.

Here we see Jesus asking the people: So why are you upset with me because I made a man's whole body well on the Sabbath? He told them not to be whiners they must use their head — and heart! — to discern what is right, to test what is authentically right.

The religious scholars and Pharisees led in a woman who had been caught in an act of adultery. They stood her in plain sight of everyone and said, "Teacher, this woman was caught red-handed in the act of adultery. They were trying to trap Jesus into saying something incriminating so they could bring charges against him. However, Jesus chose his words wisely bent down, and wrote with his finger in the dirt.

Who gave the order: When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, Do you want to get well?  The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off. That day happened to be the Sabbath. It was against the rules to carry your bedroll around. They asked, Who gave you the order to take it up and start walking? God's word is not subject to man's law

If the Son Sets You Free: then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you. The truth frees us from enslaving thoughts. Anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave to that life.

What the Father Does, the Son Does: The Son can do nothing of himself. We are healthy only as we are in unity with good, which is God. As this concept of unity takes place, it brings with it high authority. The Father quickens the Son, and the Son quickens whom he will. As the individual state of thought becomes unified with goodness and love, it automatically reflects these in whatsoever direction the thought goes.

Jesus Quoted This Proverb: “Can a blind man guide a blind man?” Wouldn't they both end up in the ditch? An apprentice does not lecture the master. The point is to be careful who we follow as our teacher. It is easy to see a smudge on our neighbor's face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on our own. It is who we are, not what we say and do, that counts. Our true being brims over into true words and deeds.

The Most Important Commandment: One of the religious scholars came up to Jesus after hearing the lively exchanges of questions and answers and put this question to Him: "Which is most important of all the commandments?"  Jesus said, "The first in importance is: The Lord your God is one.

The fishermen had just left their boats and were scrubbing their nets when Jesus climbed into the boat that was Simon's and asked him to put out a little from the shore. Sitting there, using the boat for a pulpit, Jesus taught the crowd. When he finished teaching, he said to Simon, "Push out into deep water and let your nets out for a catch."  Simon said, "Master, we have been fishing hard all night and have not caught even a minnow. But if you say so, I'll let out the nets."  It was no sooner said than done — a huge haul of fish, straining the nets past capacity.

We must not try to avoid life experiences for that is one of the ways we learn and grow. If we are not sure of our life's direction we should ask the Father He loves to help.  We must ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who are not direct with their prayers are like wind-whipped waves. We cannot get results praying in that manner
