«Putting your hand to the plow»
Jesus was tireless, traveling through various towns and cities. To learn more about Him, there was only one option: to make the decision to follow Him by faith. On one occasion, a man said to Him, “I will follow You, Lord; but first let me say goodbye to those at my home.” And Jesus replied,…

«God never gives us more than we need»
Jesus shared a story: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, saying: What shall I do, for I have no place to store my crops? And he said: I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my…

«Enjoy eternal life»
Would you like to have eternal life and not wait until you reach heaven to enjoy it? A man approached Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you interpret it?” The man answered, “Love the Lord your God with…

While Jesus was teaching the people in the temple, the chief priests, scribes, and elders came to him and said, “By what authority are you doing these things?

Everything was going well until…

«Blessed are the eyes that see»
Do we already have the complete revelation of God, or are we waiting for something more? Jesus told his disciples, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but…

«Children or grandchildren of God?»
John the Baptist drew attention to the Jews by saying, “Don’t just say to each other that you’re safe because you’re descendants of Abraham. That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.” What John was conveying was that no one could be assured of salvation based…

«Forgiveness in the sanctuary»
Jesus was speaking with His disciples and instructed them, “When you are praying, first forgive anyone against whom you hold a grudge, so that your Father in heaven may also forgive your sins.” Prayer is not just for asking God for things. Here we find a less discussed function of this spiritual exercise. It also…

«Leaving everything behind»
While Jesus was with His disciples, He told them: “Truly I tell you, anyone who has left home or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel will receive a hundred times as much in this present age, along with persecutions; and in the age…
