PRINCIPLES FROM READING
PRINCIPLE 1- Matthew 16:17 “...my Father has revealed it unto thee...” Jesus has just asked Peter who he is, and Peter gave his answer. Jesus replies “Blessed art thou, Simon (Peter)...for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, bit my Father which is in heaven.” In order to truly have any sort of testimony, one must gain it from our Father in heaven.
PRINCIPLE 2- Matthew 18:3-4 “...humble as a little child...” The disciples ask the Savior “...who is the greatest in heaven?” Jesus calls for a child to be with them, and he says, “be converted, and become as a little child...humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” There are several requirements to entering the kingdom of heaven, but thats not what the disciples asked. They asked who is the greatest in heaven. In order to become the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, one must become humble as a little child.
PRINCIPLE 3- “Luke 9:61-62 “...I’ll follow you, but wait a second would ya?...” A volunteer as just said “I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.” Jesus says “No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” If you’re going to dedicate your life to the Lord, then do it. Leave all your past and prior engagements behind and always look forward trusting in the Lord that all is well behind you.
