Childlike faith | Lessons from Luke 18

Childlike faith | Lessons from Luke 18

In Luke 18, Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God must be received with the simplicity and trust of a child. This is not about age, but about the posture of the heart. The Gospel is not complicated religious rules which must be followed; it is faith expressed as humble dependence on God.

Preach the Gospel - Heal the sick

Preach the Gospel - Heal the sick

I am very emotional when I preach the Gospel. In Matthew 9, when Jesus said to the paralysed man who had been laid at His Feet, “Son, your sins are forgiven”, the religious Pharisees accused Him in their hearts, “Only God can forgive sin!” Knowing what was in their hearts, Jesus made this amazing declaration, “So that you may know that the Son of Man has Power on earth to forgive sin” – He turned to the paralysed man and commanded him – “Get up and walk!” Jesus, in His own words said that He healed the sick to PROVE that He could forgive sin.
