Teachings of Christ


Honor of parents

Matthew 15:3  

3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?

4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’

5 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’

6 he is not to ‘honor his father’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

Hospitality

Luke 14:12-14  

12 Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid.

13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,

14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

Humility

John 13:14  

Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.

Matthew 11:29  

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
