With All Your Heart
The soul, mind, heart, and strength represent different parts of our being. Loving God with all our heart refers to our love for God with our will and rational capacity. The heart is the core of man’s being. Thus, we are to love God from within. Loving God with all our heart means that we desire and decide to love him with all that is within us. The Bible tells us that from the heart flows the spring of life (Proverbs 4:23). It is where life starts. Everything that we do flows from it. Out of...
With All Your Mind
Loving God with all our minds is all about our intellectual love for Him. We do not talk about just an intellectual consciousness of who God is nor of the knowledge of our love for Him. When our mind desires God, when we constantly have Him in our thoughts, and we continuously try doing what we hope would please Him, this is what it means to love God with our entire mind. When we love God, we seek to know Him more and to know His Word. Philippians 4:8 advises us to think about things that a...
With All Your Soul
The soul signifies life. It may represent our capacity to love emotionally. The Bible usually uses the soul in denoting feelings and emotions. For example in Psalm 42:11, it says “Why are you cast down oh my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?” The Lord designed us to be emotional beings so that we not only have an understanding of His love for us but also to feel it, experience it that we may also have the same emotional capacity to love God.
The Parable of The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37 Of the many teachings of Jesus, this becomes one of the most popular parables in the Bible. It tells the story of a Samaritan who helped a man who was stripped off by robbers, beaten, and left half-dead on the road. A priest and a Levite saw the man but did nothing. But when a Samaritan saw the man, he had compassion on him and helped him. This parable tells us of our accountability with one another no matter who we are. Remember, it was the Samaritan who helped the man, not the...
The Parable of The Unforgiving Servant
Matthew 18:23-25 This parable tells the story of a servant who owed his master ten thousand talents. The servant couldn’t pay his debt so his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had. But the servant begged his master to give him more time to repay his debt. Out of mercy his master released and forgave his debt. Thus, all his debt was no more, he’s free. But, when this servant saw his fellow servant who owes him a hundred denarii, he choked him and forced...
The Parable of The Rich Fool
Luke 12:13-21 This is the story of a rich man who becomes so confident in his wealth and harvest that he spends his days thinking of all the ways to get more out of his grains and barns. This rich man had everything planned for his future. Since he has everything that he needs he said to himself, “Soul, you have enough goods, relax, eat, drink, and be merry.” He must have been so proud of what he accomplished that he can imagine himself doing what he wants, having fun for he has more than all...
The core teachings of Jesus should inspire us to live under the grace of God and not by our own might. He cannot allow us to do the things He has not given us first. The focal subject of the teachings of Jesus centers on love. It is no wonder for it is utterly the essence of God’s character. There is no easy way to obey the teachings of Jesus but w...
The Message of Jesus’s Teaching. Jesus was the consummate teacher, not only because of how he taught but because of what he taught. The following section will explain three prominent topics in Jesus’s teachings: (1) the reality of the kingdom of God, (2) living in the kingdom of God, and (3) the Lord of the kingdom of God.
- Who do you say I am? Many people were confused about Jesus’ identity. Some people were saying He was Elijah. Others said He was Jeremiah or a prophet.
- Do you believe? Many people came to Jesus asking for something: a miracle, a healing, a free lunch. Jesus challenged them with this question to expose their motives.
- Do you want to get well? This seemed like an odd question for Jesus to ask a man who had been an invalid for 38 years. The man had been lying by the pool of Bethesda waiting to be cured by a Spirit that would occasionally stir up the waters.
- Why are you so afraid? In Matthew 8:26, Jesus asked His followers why they were so afraid their boat would overturn on account of some wind and waves, especially since He was right there in the boat with them.
- “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:3). This passage is part of the Beatitudes, (The Sermon on the Mount) which encompass the greater part of Matthew 5-7).
- “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” (Matthew 8:26). We can imagine the Lord Jesus may have become sinlessly impatient with His disciples. After spending so much time under His holy tutelage, it’s easy for us to think, “Why are these guys so dull?”
- “For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?” (Matthew 9:5). Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees after they admonished Him for healing on the Sabbath.
- “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed, and not on a stand?” (Mark 4:21). Jesus was explaining the purpose and importance of the parables to His disciples.
