(This is part 2 of a 3 part series). <br/>25: Jesus Invites All to Come to Him, All Who are Weary and Carry Heavy Burdens for Rest. <br/>Matthew 11:28-30 <br/>Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.’ – Slide 1

26: Jesus Teaches About God’s Love Through the Parables, The Lost Sheep, Lost Coin and The Prodigal’s Son. What was Lost is Now Found! <br/>Lost Sheep: Luke 15:5-7 <br/>And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!

Prodigal Son: Luke 15:21-24 <br/>His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began. – Slide 2

Just have faith, and she will be healed.’ … The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but He said, ‘Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.’ Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, ‘My child, get up!’ And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! – Slide 3

30: Sermon on the Mount: Jesus Teaches About Worry, Stress and Anxiety. <br/>Matthew 6:31-34 <br/>‘So don’t worry about these things, saying, “What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?” These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.’ – Slide 6

Woman Caught in Adultery - Jesus is the Light of the World! <br/>John 8:7,10-12 <br/>They kept demanding an answer, so He stood up again and said, ‘All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!’ Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, ‘Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?’ <br/>‘No, Lord,’ she said. And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I. Go and sin no more.’ Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, ‘I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.’ – Slide 7

He told him, ‘Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam’ (Siloam means ‘sent’). So the man went and washed and came back seeing! ‘I don’t know whether He is a sinner,’ the man replied. ‘But I know this: I once was blind, and now I can see!’ – Slide 9

So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.’ – Slide 10

35: Jesus Foretold His Death. <br/>Matthew 12:39-41 <br/>For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. ‘The people of Nineveh will stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for they repented of their sins at the preaching of Jonah. Now someone greater than Jonah is here—but you refuse to repent.’ – Slide 11

All the nations will be gathered in His presence, and He will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at His right hand and the goats at His left. Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons.’ And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life. – Slide 12

For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.’ <br/>Then Jesus said to the woman, ‘I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.’ But she came and worshiped Him, pleading again, ‘Lord, help me!’ <br/>Jesus responded, ‘It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.’ She replied, ‘That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their master’s table.’ <br/>‘Dear woman,’ Jesus said to her, ‘your faith is great. Your request is granted.’ And her daughter was instantly healed. – Slide 14

Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. … <br/>'Roll the stone aside,' Jesus told them. … Then Jesus shouted, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in grave clothes, his face wrapped in a head cloth. <br/>Jesus told them, ‘Unwrap him and let him go!’ – Slide 15

42: Jesus Teaches about the Value of Children. <br/>Matthew 18:3-6 <br/>Then He said, ‘I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.’ – Slide 18

He will be handed over to the Romans, and He will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spat upon. They will flog Him with a whip and kill Him, but on the third day He will rise again.’ But they didn’t understand any of this.

But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.’ – Slide 20

And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.’ – Slide 22

The house was filled with the fragrance. But Judas Iscariot, the disciple who would soon betray Him, said, ‘That perfume was worth a year’s wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor.’ <br/>Jesus replied, ‘Leave her alone. She did this in preparation for my burial. You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.’ – Slide 23

After washing their feet, He put on His robe again and sat down and asked, ‘Do you understand what I was doing? You call me “Teacher” and “Lord,” and you are right, because that’s what I am.
