Page 595 … Listening to Christ
“Satan is hard at work trying to confuse and confound, but God will give us clarity on all things, if we but ask Him.”
Yes … or we can simply heed the words of Jesus Christ as found in the Gospels. After all, they really aren’t that complicated; especially those directly related to the discussion at hand … At the expense of overly repeating the very obvious, please read the following verses carefully, my Friend – and then consider having the courage to live them – Care-fully!
“Do not judge, so that you may not be judged … Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? … You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck from your neighbor’s … You hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full of greed and self-indulgence … First clean the inside of your own cup, so that the outside may also then become truly clean … Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is the greatest in the Kingdom … Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-2 + Matthew 23:25-26 + Matthew18:3-4 + John 8:7)
“For I have set you an example, that you also should do for others exactly as I have done for you … If you understand these things, blessed are you while you DO them … A new commandment I give to you: that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved, so you also are to Love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples: when you show Love for one another.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:15-17 + 34-35)
