We discuss the contrast between worldly material gains and the true blessedness of eternal life with God in heaven. We can have fellowship with God now. Fellowship with God is the greatest blessing. Don't be so concerned with material gain that you miss Jesus Christ, the only one who gives eternal life.

Luke 6:20-26

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied.

“Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.

24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

25 “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry.

“Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.

26 “Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

We discuss the importance of spending time with Jesus every day. Remaining in prayer and in the Word will keep us pure through temptation. Do not be surprised by the temptations of the evil one. We can overcome in the strength of Jesus!

"How can a young man keep his way pure?

By guarding it according to your word." - Psalm 119:9.

The night before Jesus chose his twelve apostles, he stayed up all night praying. Jesus knew the magnitude of the day before him. Let's follow Jesus' example and seek God in prayer often, especially when we know a big decision is before us!

We continue the discussion on legalism. The Sabbath is one of the 10 commandments. God gave the Sabbath as a blessing to people and told them to keep the day "holy" and to "not do any work." The Pharisees missed the point. Jesus healed a man's hand (a holy moment), and the Pharisees plotted to kill Jesus because of it. I guess the Pharisees forgot that one of the other of the 10 commandments was to not murder.

Jesus did not come to establish a new set of rules or legalism. His mission was to offer forgiveness of sin and invite us into his Kingdom. Unlike the Pharisees who believed that following strict rules would make them righteous before God, Jesus' blood is the only thing that can make us righteous before God. Therefore, we should be cautious not to judge ourselves or others in a legalistic manner that goes beyond what our Lord Jesus requires.

Have you ever really wondered what sin is? We discuss what sin and forgiveness are. Jesus tells the paralyzed man (whom they let in from the roof) that his sins were forgiven and then Jesus healed his body. If you have placed your faith in Jesus, he has forgiven you.

Jesus Series • In contrast to the religious folk from Luke 4 who were fans of Jesus at first but then rejected and tried to kill him, the folks in Luke 5 received Jesus' teaching. Simon Peter acknowledged Jesus as Lord and the disciples FOLLOWED Jesus. Jesus is worth following.
