The world places self-love as the most important. The world says that "I" am the most important and what "I" want is all that matters. Jesus teaches a different Gospel. His Gospel is one that sets us free from the bondage of self. To live for Jesus and to surrender to His Lordship is the place where true peace and fulfillment can be found.

Luke 14.

Jesus told the parable of the Great Banquet. God has sent out the invitation through His Son, but the cares of this world have kept many from accepting His invitation. Entrance to the Great Banquet can only come through faith in Jesus Christ. He is our invitation to salvation.

There are many who live bound to sin and shame. There are many who live bound to fear and guilt and depression. If the New Testament is clear on anything, it is clear that Jesus came to set us free. For those who have put their faith in Him, freedom is yours, and for those who haven't, while it is still today, put your faith in Him and He has promised to set you free. Salvation is freedom from despair, death, depression and so much more. Those who are in Christ Jesus have been set free unto life!

Jesus made it clear that those who not only hear what He says, but also does what He says, are like those who build their house on a firm foundation. The storms of life will come, but when we have built our foundation on Jesus, nothing will be able to shake us.

Luke 12:13-34.

Jesus called the man who became rich in this life but not rich towards God a fool. There is nothing wrong with saving and building wealth, but if that is all we seek for our salvation and security, then we are considered fools. To be rich towards God is to seek Him first in all things, His righteousness, and all the things we need will be added unto us. God has promised He would provide as we put our trust in Him. It's time to do a heart check to see where our desires lie. Do you desire Jesus above all else?

Mary and Martha were sisters, but were very different people. Mary recognized that Jesus would only be with them for a brief time, and so she chose to place all of her attention upon Jesus by sitting at His feet. Jesus gently rebuked Martha that she had let the worries and anxieties of life become distractions. May we never be so distracted that we fail to see that Jesus is right in our midst, wanting to spend time with us. That is the better choice.

Mark 7:24-37

The Syrophoenician mother had a desperate faith. Her faith would not let go of Jesus. She had heard of and possibly seen His great miracles. She could not and would not believe that a power that great and that loving would be limited to one people group. The faith of the Syrophoenician woman caught the attention of Jesus. She wasn't the only woman in the New Testament to amaze Jesus with such faith. Clearly, Jesus values our faith. Don't give up. Without faith, it's impossible to please God.
