The preacher uses a parable from the same chapter to illustrate his point. He explains that when Adam sinned, humanity lost its righteous standing before God and incurred the penalty of God's law. The only hope for salvation is for sinners to repent, turn from their sinful ways, and depend on the righteousness of Christ. Additionally, the preacher emphasizes the importance of facing the facts of spiritual existence and considering one's conscience and knowledge of right and wrong. However, he does not guarantee that doing so will result in salvation, as that is ultimately God's work.

Favell Lee Mortimer delves into the parables shared by Jesus, emphasizing the profound truth that the last shall be first and the first last, revealing that many are called but few chosen.

Zac Poonen preaches on the secret of Jesus being approved by God, emphasizing that it was not based on His ministry success but on His faithful and sinless life for thirty years. Jesus was approved because He resisted temptation and never sought His own desires, pleasing the Father. Our character, specifically our attitude towards sin and self-centeredness, is what brings God's approval, not our external accomplishments. Both a world-traveling healer/preacher and a busy mother at home have equal opportunities to acquire God's approval, as it is based on our faithfulness in daily temptations.
