Who's in Charge Here?
By Don McClure1.0K50:51MAT 5:38Don McClure emphasizes the importance of allowing Jesus to remain in control of our lives, as illustrated in Matthew 5:38-42. He explains that the Sermon on the Mount is a cohesive message about surrendering our pride, anger, and desire for revenge, and instead embracing love and humility. McClure highlights that true happiness comes from letting go of our rights and serving others, even when it feels unjust. He encourages believers to reflect on their attitudes towards others and to choose love over anger, thus keeping Christ enthroned in their hearts. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a deeper commitment to living out the principles of the Beatitudes in everyday interactions.
The Seamless Coat of Jesus
By Samuel Logan Brengle0MAT 16:13Samuel Logan Brengle emphasizes the significance of Jesus' seamless coat as a symbol of unity among His followers. He reflects on how Jesus, despite His suffering, never sought pity for Himself and instead focused on His mission, revealing His divine identity to His disciples. Brengle warns against the dangers of division within the Church, likening it to the rending of Jesus' coat, and stresses the importance of love and humility in maintaining unity among believers. He calls for the Church to embody the seamless robe of Christ, serving as a shelter for all, and urges Christians to prioritize love and selflessness to prevent any rending of this sacred bond.
