  1. He tries to open their eyes to see that the Sabbath is a time for saving life, not seeking to destroy it, for experiencing the love of God, not for practicing hatred.

  3. Jesus is preparing us for a baptism by fire that will shatter our expectations.
  4. God will not be boxed in by our worries and He will not let our self-understanding be limited to our needs. Jesus knows there is more to God and more to us than what we are worried about.

  6. On the one hand, we take up our cross and follow Him. On the other hand, however, Jesus has conquered this world.
  7. When you live in a culture that capitalizes on quick fixes and sudden solutions, you can be tempted to approach God as if He were in the business of handing out momentary marvels.
  8. We all have voices we listen to... and sometimes those voices are not trustworthy.
  9. The death of Jesus was not the end. It was the beginning of a new life and a new way in which He would rule over the world.
  10. This glory, once found, is not to be extracted from this world. Rather, God comes in glory to impart glory to the world.
  11. At the close of what we see as impossible commands, Jesus leaves His disciples with a picture of God’s impossible love made possible in Him.
  12. The words of Jesus are hard words for us to hear today, especially in America. They call us to question our lifestyle choices, to turn from our pursuit of happiness, and to experience the gift of grace.
