“ “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matthew 5:43-45)

So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. (John 2:15)
Jesus calls us to … I. A different authority. The absolute authority of God (12-17). II. A different kingdom. The kingdom of God (18-22). III. A different comfort. Our comfort is in Christ (23-25). IV. A different response. A call to follow Christ (Matt. 16:24).
Ideas for Consideration: 1. Read the Gospel of John and learn anew of Christ. 2. Consider His call on your life. Your response?
