Two of our classes
were two very
interesting sermons.
were two very
interesting sermons.
I would love to hear your thoughts on them.
The Religious people of Jesus’ day absolutely hated him.
That most people know.
Here is what’s interesting
–
They proclaimed truth about Him with their own words.
The
Examples?
–
He likes to hang out
with sinners.
*Luke
15:2 – “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them”
15:2 – “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them”
-They
recognized he could heal people.
*Luke
13:14 – “Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath the synagogue leader
said to the people, ‘There are six days for work. So come and be healed on
those days, not on the Sabbath.”

those days, not on the Sabbath.”
-They
acknowledged he could drive out demons.
*Matthew
9:34 – “It is by the Prince of Demons – He drives out demons”

saved Others but He can’t save Himself” – What they said while he was on the
cross. *Mark 15:31

I love the last one the best because in their own way
they are proclaiming what Jesus’ life was all about.

Saving Others – While Completely Giving of Himself.
(Of course they mistook that Jesus couldn’t save himself but nonetheless they
were still speaking truth!)

A
reputation of completely giving your life away for others.

That’s

What would those you don’t get along with
