Hide Me Behind Your Cross (Matt. 23:1-7)
In this passage, Jesus warns the crowds and His disciples against religious hypocrisy.
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees were primarily religious leaders for everyday life. Jesus told the crowds and His disciples to carefully obey their teaching about the Scripture itself.
But He also told them not to do what they do, because those same men did not practice what they preached (v.3), they are pretending, the same meaning of the Greek term, hipokrites. (Matthew 23:13).

Compassion Compels Change (Matthew 15:32-39)
Compassion compelled Jesus to do something about the situation. In the previous chapter, we have the account of Jesus feeding the five thousand at Bethsaida by the Sea of Galilee, where the crowd were mostly Jews.
Here, however, the crowd comprised Jews and Gentiles (Mark 7: 31), and gives the location of the event as having occurred in “the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.” Jesus was now in Gentile territory and yet He, a Jew, brought healing and deliverance to them all without regard of creed and colour.

Everything for the Kingdom (Matt. 13:44-46)
From the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the pearl of great value, Jesus teaches that the kingdom of heaven is of such great value, worth far more than all that the men had, that when they found it, they would be willing to sell everything for it, and the man in the first instance even did so with joy.

Letting God be God (Matthew 5:1-4)
To be blessed is more than happiness, it means fundamentally, to be approved, to find approval. If this is God’s universe, can there be a higher ‘blessing’ than to be approved by God?

Our Good God (Isaiah 60:1-3)
Isaiah had prophesied of peace and prosperity to come during a tumultuous time of rebellion of God’s people. The nation had turned a deaf ear to God, offering meaningless sacrifices and committing injustices throughout the nation. God was not going to let them go on that. He would ultimately exile them.
All discipline of God are for our good and they will produce “a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11).

A Bruised Reed, He Will Not Break (Isaiah 42:1-4)
I grew up in a family where my grandma did ancestral worship, but the rest of the family were quite irreverent in matters of the divine. Money was the most important thing in my family, in place of God. But God turned this tragic family into a family with hope.
One day a relative was diagnosed by his doctor of having only 2 years to live. A family friend brought a pastor to pray for him, and he miraculously lived on for another ten years. His doctor said it was a miracle because there is no medical explanation.
As a result, my grandma in her late eighties was baptised, and my parents accepted the Lord. I begin to seek God, and at 20 years old, I accepted the Lord.
