Jesus came to bring heaven to bear on earth, v. 34“Do not think I have come to bring peace to the earth.”2. Jesus insists on being the affection priority, v. 35-37“Jesus talks in this radical, shocking, one-sided way often. He expects us to be startled,awakened, made serious. And then he expects us to put the proper boundaries around whathe’s saying by remembering what he said elsewhere.” ~ John Piper• “See what kind of love the Father has given to us...”• Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as you loveyourself.”• You shall have no other gods before me.• You shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven or earth,or bow down to serve them.sus came to ensure everybody gets a cross, v. 38-39“The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross; yet in its ugliness it remains the mosteloquent testimony to human dignity.” ~ R. C. Sproul• I John 3:14• I Timothy 6:17-19"This is not a fulfilling life. It’s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it's not fulfillingfrom a sense of the deepest places of your heart.
