Jesus Christ is The King of Kings and Lord of All so are we going to obey His commands or not?
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 6:
37 Jesus said, “Forsake the habit of criticizing and judging others, and you will not be criticized and judged in return. Don’t condemn others and you will not be condemned. Forgive over and over, and you will be forgiven over and over.
Soulish, selfish people judge everyone else by their actions, but judge themselves by their intentions.
38 Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”
Do you really trust Our Heavenly Father for your provision?
39 Jesus also quoted these proverbs: “What happens when a blind man pretends to guide another blind man? They both stumble into a ditch!
40 And how could the apprentice know more than his master, for only after he is fully qualified will he be at that level.
In other Words: A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher.
41 Why do you focus on the flaw in someone else’s life and fail to notice the glaring flaws of your own life?
42 How could you say to your friend, ‘Here, let me show you where you’re wrong,’ when you are guilty of even more than he? You are overly critical, splitting hairs and being a hypocrite! You must acknowledge your own blind spots and deal with them before you will be able to deal with the blind spot of your friend.”
Look in the mirror and truly assess your own actions before you criticize anyone. Arrogant and entitled people are living a lie.
43 “You’ll never find choice fruit hanging on a bad, unhealthy tree. And rotten fruit doesn’t hang on a good, healthy tree.
44 Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it produces. You will never pick figs or grapes from thorn trees.
45 People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit. Likewise, out of the evil hidden in their hearts, evil ones will produce what is evil. For the overflow of what has been stored in your heart will be seen by your fruit and will be heard in your words.
Inspection of fruit provides us with the Truth of where someone is at in their walk with The Lord.
46 “What good does it do for you to say I am your Lord and Master if you don’t put into practice what I teach you?
47 Let me describe the one who truly follows Me and does what I say:
48 He is like a man who chooses the right place to build a house and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it continues to stand strong and unshaken through the tempest, for he built it wisely on the right foundation.
49 But the one who has heard my teaching and does not obey it is like a man who builds a house without laying any foundation at all. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it will immediately collapse and become a total loss. Which of these two builders will you be?”
In other Words, he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.
Jesus did not promise a life without storms and floods. However, He did tell us how to overcome all of life’s challenges.
These are The Words of Jesus, not my opinion. It is your decision what path you take!
