Matthew

I spent most of my day reading the book of Matthew, from the Bible. Here are a few things I got from it:

  • Jesus raises the standard (Matt. 5:21-24)
  • Serve others and do more than they expect (Matt. 5:38-42)
  • Love more than expected. Include people. Get out of your own comfort zone and greet and engage with various people, who aren't like you. The world is big, be part of it. (Matt. 5:43-48)
  • Take time for people, without losing sight of your mission. (Matt. 9:18-26)
  • He doesn't need us, but he wants us. He desires for us to be part of His mission. (Matt. 10:1-17)
  • Jesus respects other cultures/customs (Matt. 17:24-27) 
  • When earnest questions are asked, He responds (Matt. 13:36-37)
  • We are all invited to the Kingdom, and we all have a choice if we want to accept or not. If we choose yes and go, we have to know the cost. And we have to be prepared for that cost. (Matt. 22: 9-14)
