The Bible tells us that it is God’s declared Will that all people should appropriate to themselves, by faith, the saving grace which has been secured for them by the divinely appointed Savior, Jesus Christ. That is also why it is so vital to recognize that without Christ’s obedient intercession on our behalf, satisfying all the requirements of the Law in our place before God the Father, no one can obtain eternal life on their own; Salvation cannot, in any way, shape, or form, be defined by you!

The pulpit is the place of Authority which God has invested to those who are called to preach the Power of His Word. The great loving message of salvation in found in Christ Alone, but how do we know this without someone preaching?

In these three parables of Jesus, He reinforces the truth that nothing can compare with the immense value, and the enormous price that He paid, to offer the world the priceless treasure of the Kingdom of Heaven!

The word “heart” is one of the really big words in Scripture. It is used hundreds of times in God’s Word. When we read about sin and righteousness, or Christ, or God, or Christian life, we always read about the heart. And In today’s text, Jesus confronts us with the heart.

The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord!
