First part of Matthew 7 is about judging others. I struggle with this. I get bothered when I see others being Judgy McJudgersons and I hate it when I have done the same and can't take it back. I will probably have to be reminded of this verse for eternity.
Next up, Ask, Seek, Knock! I can remember since being a little girl my dad dramatically saying in a Baptist Preachery sort of way, "Ask! And ye shall Receive!!!" Little did I know till I was a full grown adult that he was actually quoting Matthew 7:7.
The Narrow & Wide Gates
It's easy to go through wide gates and broad paths but that's not what Jesus calls us to do. He knows the road and path to Him will not be easy and may be hard to find. But when we do, it will be worth it.
A Tree & Its Fruit
Ever wonder about these verses and it's connection with Adam and Eve? I never did till just now. God told Adam & Eve not to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree. Satan led them astray saying the would be like gods if they ate of it. I think Jesus is saying to seek good in your life and don't be led astray by bad fruit (Satan). If all you are looking for is bad fruit you will get nothing but bad fruit. Adam & Eve ate of the forbidden fruit and they were banished from Eden. I don't know about you but I would like to see heaven someday. Thank God for sending Jesus to save us sinners!!
Okay, who remembers the Sunday School song The Wise Man Built His House Upon The Rock?? Like many other things as a child I didn't really know that songs we learned came directly from scriptures. My memories of Sunday School openings center around the time my mom was leading them. Many others led before and after her. Several of those have fond memories of Wilma Mason and Faye Miller being the ones that led them in song. So stand up and sing it if you remember it! I'm going to right now. :o)
