Hunger for God ...

Luke 6:17-49
Four thoughts from Jesus' 'sermon': (a) Hunger for God: (21; Matthew 5:6): Laziness leads to superficial Christianity. Do not hunger and you will not be 'filled with the Spirit' (Ephesians 5:18). Do not seek and you will not find (Matthew 7:7). Seek the Lord with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13). God has so much for us (1 Corinthians 2:12). Don't miss out (2 Corinthians 9:6). (b) Love for God: Love is the greatest thing in the world. Our love for God is to be seen in our love for others (27; 1 John 3:16-17). (c) Vision of God: The blind cannot lead the blind (39-42). Make sure you are not 'blind and short-sighted' (2 Peter 1:9). Run with the vision - Others will be blessed (Habakkuk 2:2). (d) Foundations in God: Make sure you are 'rooted' in Christ, our sure 'Foundation' (43-49; Ephesians 3:17; 2:19-22).
