Jesus is the Gospel. He is the Lamp that is to be placed on a stand so that His elect may hear the Gospel and be saved.

God's Word only saves some people who hear it. But those people give a big harvest.

There are some who disobey God and resist the Holy Spirit, but the true family of Jesus obey God's will.

Jesus calls 12 disciples. Jesus chooses who He wants, to belong to the new family of God.

We can be very religious but hate Jesus.

Jesus did not come to fit in with the ways of our religion. He came to give us new life. This new life changes us inside.

Jesus did not come for good people. He came for sinners.

Jesus proves His authority to forgive sins by demonstrating His authority to heal paralysis.

Jesus, God's Son, came to preach. It is more important to tell people the truth about Jesus than it is to heal them.

Jesus authenticates the power and authority of His Word (His teaching) by demonstrating His power and authority over evil.
