Greatness Defined

Greatness Defined – Luke 9:46-62

    Jesus disciples were learning about how the Kingdom works and there are so many applications for us today as well.  When someone sins against us we are to forgive them 70X7.  If we are not willing to forgive how can we expect our heavenly Father to forgive us our transgressions and sins.

    If a person wants to be great in God’s Kingdom they must learn to be the servant of all.  No room for pride in the Kingdom.  Anyone who gives a drink of water in the name of the Lord will be rewarded  We are taught here that we are the salt of the earth.  We must touch the world with the presence of God and be at peace one with another,  Never allow yourself to lose your saltiness and flavour.

    Jesus makes it clear that no one can stand against Him and us.  We must not be like James and John who wanted to bring fire down upon the Samaritans.  This is the misuse of God’s power.  Jesus taught here that a person must be willing to give up everything to follow Him.  Anyone who keeps looking back into the world is no good for the Kingdom.  Great lessons and truths to learn.
