If Jesus’ audience was relaxing in the assumption that the preceding teachings were directed only at the Pharisees and their followers, they could not dodge the direct force of this challenge. It is specifically directed to those who profess to follow Jesus and looks at what it means to build our lives on Him as the solid rock. Jesus is making the point that it’s not mere words or even generally ethical behavior or religious practice that mark true believers, but whether they do what He says. Jesus is calling His followers to a radical obedience that will lead them to continue to turn the world upside-down through His love and grace.

Transfiguration Sunday is a weekend when we remember that Jesus truly is God Almighty. On the Mount of Olives Jesus pulls back His humanity and shows us all the glory that is within Him. It absolutely blows my mind to think that the Great I AM, the Creator and sustainer of all things, the beginning and the end, God Himself would take on human flesh and walk amongst us. Jesus is a God who loves us all with a love so great that it would propel Him to suffer, die, and rise on our behalf. He is the one that unites the Old & New Testament in His blood. Jesus is God!

Chapter 14 in the book of Romans

This week we look at how Jesus was sent as the grace of God & the love of God. The good news of God was that the Father loved the world so much that He sent His one and only Son. Jesus came not to condemn the world but to save the world on account of sin. Jesus was sent to bring the grace & love of God to this sinful world. Everything that Jesus did was motivated by His grace and love for His creation, and it is seen clearest, when Jesus went to the cross to show us all how far the grace and love of God will go for each of us.
