“Hesed is when the one from whom I should expect nothing instead gives me everything.” - Michael Card
“Jesus’ statement here goes back to the Sermon on the Mount. The kind of righteousness Jesus demands surpasses the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. It doesn't surpass the righteousness of scribes and Pharisees by being more scrupulous than theirs.

Jesus has a different program for Israel's redemption: not holiness by separation but compassion for tax collectors and sinners.” - Peter Leithart

“If I really wanted to know what you believe about the gospel I wouldn’t need to hear a single word. I just would have to watch how you treat those who have mistreated you.”

IV. The Kingdom of Image Bearers
-Mark 12:15-17
-2 Corinthians 3:17-18
-1 Corinthians 15:49
- “God has called us to nothing less than incarnating Christ to others. I am to be rooted in the Word, and zealous to bring the living Word–Christ–to lost, blind, and struggling people. You and I are called to put flesh and blood on who Christ is and what he came to do…The power of the incarnation is that it makes the presence and glory of God visible.
By taking on flesh and blood, Christ made known the unseen God. Why does the Light need to shine on earth? Because people are groping around in the darkness. Why does God need to be revealed? Because people do no see him…In Christ, the trust of God takes on flesh. Jesus is the ultimate exposition of how God intends people to think and live…This is quite radical, for it says that truth, in its most basic form, is not a system, a theology, or a philosophy. It is a person whose name is Jesus.
Living a godly life means trusting him, following him, and living like him. Personal ministry weaves the threads of grace and truth through every part of a person’s life. In that it is truly incarnational, because grace and truth will always lead people to Christ…The incarnation is not just an event; it also establishes an agenda, a set of plans to accomplish a goal. God’s agenda is for the church to be an incarnational community on earth, so that our very presence would reveal his grace and truth-laden glory.”

John 14:6
by Thom Bacon
Man's Way versus God's Way
How do you lead others?
How do you treat others?
How do people know you are a Christian? Luke 22:24-27
- How do you leavethe ones you love?
- Jesus comforts and encourages
- Don't be discouraged because I am God!
- Don't be discouraged because I am going to prepare a place for you
Don't be discouraged because I will come again
- Don't be discouraged because you know the way where I am going
- Thomas asks for clarification
- Jesus answers in a declarative statement:
- He is the Way- our only path to the Father - Ex 13:21; Matt 7:13-14
- He is the Truth- our only knowledge of the Way - Jn 1:17; Luke 20:21; John 8:31-32; 18:37-38
He is the Life - our sole source of eternal Life - John 1:4; 5:24; 20:31
- He is both inclusive and exclusive - John 3:16, 36; Acts 4:12
