Jesus loves plainspoken people. The study looks at how Jesus relates to the Pharisees, who often say the opposite of what they mean, and the disciples, who lack any kind of pretense. Jesus is drawn to people whose insides and outsides match. Is this unnecessarily complex? In Mark 14, Jesus tells Peter he will fall away that very day.
Peter insists he will not. Jesus lets Peter have the last word in that argument. If both are forgiven by the lender, which of the two would love the lender most? In the presence of Jesus, Simon had to see himself as a poor host and as a man who too easily passed judgment on the woman and even Jesus. In the Gospel of John, we see Jesus ask a Samaritan woman for a drink of water. There at the well, she has her whole sinful life exposed as Jesus talks to her.
She realizes that he is no ordinary man. She tells her friends about Jesus, and the whole community believes. In the Gospel of Mark, when a rich young man asks Jesus how he can gain eternal life, Jesus tells him to obey the commandments. Peter — though he is one of the first to confess that Jesus is the son of God — begins to sink when he tries to walk out on the water to Jesus, as we read in Matthew.
Michael D. Guinan, O. In quoting this Psalm, as shown in Matthew , Jesus teaches us how to suffer. He is the true God and eternal life. All of the wonderful characteristics that He embodies that have been looked at through the Christ Church Manchester are actually true. The claims that he makes, the promises that he brings and the instruction that he gives are all wholly true. When Jesus says that He came to bring life to the full, He actually did.
When Jesus says…. Okay, you get the picture.
