Christ modeled true greatness through humility. True greatness doesn’t come through our own ambition. True greatness comes through an attitude of service. True greatness is shown through our own insignificance.

Main Idea: Our faith in Christ must be rooted in an unwavering belief that He will fulfill His promises. Faith does not work apart from Christ. Faith is needed in dire circumstances. Faith is not a half-hearted, half-trusting hope. Faith at times coexists with disbelief in our hearts. Faith is a full dependance and trust that the Lord will work and fulfill His promises.

Main Idea: Jesus’s glory was revealed to man and it enables us to suffer for the things of God. Jesus is worthy. (v. 2-4) Jesus can be trusted. (v. 5-6) Jesus is with us. (v. 7-8) Jesus modeled it. (v. 9-13)

Main Idea: Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection was a necessity to redeem humanity, therefore He is worthy of having our lives centered around Him. Christ’s suffering was a necessity for our Redemption. Our own self-denial is a necessity for following Jesus. As a result, believer’s will experience the necessary coming of Jesus’ glory.

Main idea: The turning point of following Christ is a clear, personal confession that Jesus is the Christ. Reality #1: Many people have the wrong understanding of who Jesus is. Reality #2: Following Jesus is an act of faith recognizing Jesus as the Christ.

Main Idea: True growth in knowing and understanding Jesus happens progressively in someone’s life through the act of following Him. Spiritual blindness has impacted everyone. Initial understanding of Jesus begins incomplete and blurry. The full clarity of the majesty and glory of Jesus will occur in the end.

Main Idea: There are certain dangers that Jesus shows that keep people from truly following Him. A hardened heart that keeps people from believing. Teaching that is not biblically accurate. A life that says one thing but portrays something else. A life of self-reliance instead of on God. Forgetting the work of the Lord in your life.

Main Idea: Jesus does all things well and restores all things. The Problem (v. 31-32) The Solution (v. 33-34) The Cure (v. 35-37)

Main Idea: A clean heart before God is made pure by grace through faith in Christ, not by rituals and traditions. Religion that controls. (v. 1-8) Religion that corrupts. (v. 9-13) We are corrupted by what is already in our heart. (v. 14-23)

Main Idea: Jesus shows us who He truly is even in the midst of our own misunderstanding. Jesus’ care for His people. (v. 45-46) Jesus’ compassion for His people. (v. 47-50) Jesus’ concern for His people. (v. 51-52)

Jesus is our true rest and satisfaction.
