Truth or lies?
Sometimes it's harder to discern truth than it is to discern a lie. How do you define truth? 70 different times Jesus used the phrase "I tell you the truth"! John 14:6
The truth about faith
Matthew 8:5-13
Faith in many ways is about lordship! The centurion understood that Jesus was in charge and was lord! He trusted Jesus because he understood the power that Jesus had! No one understood lordship the way the centurion did and as a result he had faith that was not seen in anyone else in Israel!
The truth of humility!
Mark 10:13-16
Important adult issues and hot bottom topics of their day were being discussed and children started coming up to Jesus. Did God use these children to disrupt this meeting on purpose? Jesus accepted these children and loved them because of their natural humility. Little children don't care how they look. They don't care what gifts they receive. Their just happy to spend time with you to be loved by you.
When we think we deserve things, we get bitter when we don't receive them when we want them. Are you special because God chose you or were you chosen because your special? Humility starts with seeing who you really are!
The truth in sacrifice
Mark 10:29-31
