Discerning whether or not Jesus’ teaching came from God requires something surprising

Jesus' teaching gives us confidence to believe in Him (and to walk in His ways).

Jesus' response to the crowds shows us what His life was (and what our lives are to be) about.

One thing explains well, with simplicity, clarity, logic, and common sense, the actions of Jesus’ disciples the weekend Jesus was crucified:  that Jesus actually rose from death, and the disciples saw and talked with Jesus for the next 40 days.

The things Jesus did and the things said about Jesus on Palm Sunday show who Jesus is: the Son of God and the king, who saves those who believe in Him.

Jesus asks, “You do not want to leave too, do you?”:  a challenge for Christians to endure to the end.

There’s a reason some people believe and many do not.

Recognize that disbelief in Jesus is a function of only valuing the temporary.  Value, instead, the eternal by believing in Jesus and enduring in your faith in Him.

A person needs Jesus not only in death, but in life, too.

Jesus is rejected not because He’s too “little” (not enough), but too great.

There are signs today in the lives of Christians that display that Jesus is God.

What is inside someone that brings him to faith in Jesus? And what does the believer have within, given to him when God saves Him?

That Jesus is God the Son is not disbelieved from a lack of proof.

Jesus taught that He was God.  The way we deal with this has costs and benefits.

Being in the Church and being eternally saved are not the same thing.

People disbelieve not because they lack proof, but because they lack life.  When Jesus give a person life, that person then sees and believes.

Reasoned arguments and miracles don’t cause belief.

There is blessing in doing the will of God.

As Christians, we sow the gospel today for a harvest--new believers--in the future.

Jesus valued women (and so should we), and we are to value Him as our Christ (our king).
