Are you brave enough to share your spiritual opinion, no matter how many people or who is listening?
When you are able to remember to love God and love people, it also enables you to also love yourself. The inverse of that is true as well. It’s not always easy, but it makes everything else easier when we do it.
It’s a short little parable, but there’s a really cool lesson! Let’s read Matthew 21:28-31.
Thank goodness we have a God who is “mighty to save”. The trick is to remember always how He HAS saved us and that he WILL continue to save us. That’s worth shouting “Hosanna” over!
In this episode we'll talk about Matthew 21-23, Mark 11, Luke 19-20, and John 12. We'll discuss how these readings contain multiple examples of the importance of doing and not just believing only. We'll review the account of Zacchæus, a publican and Jew, who went to extra efforts to see the Savior. His effort was rewarded by the Lord. We'll discuss how our own efforts are often rewarded, and how we are almost always required to act first before the Lord will do His part. We'll also talk about the second great commandment, and how implicit in this command is an injunction to love ourselves. We'll review how developing healthy self-love and self-compassion can help mitigate emotional and mental health issues and can help us be more kind and accepting of others.
In today's episode Jesus is calling out the hypocrites of His day, and reminding us not to be hypocrites either. Let's dive in for some good lessons from the Savior.
