Teachings of Christ

(21 to 25 out of 427)

21 – Apostles

Luke 11:49  

Because of this, God in his wisdom said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’

22 – Appearance

Matthew 6:16  

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth; they have received their reward in full.

23 – Appearance outward

Matthew 23:27-28  

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.

28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

24 – Authority

Matthew 21:24  

Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Luke 10:19  

I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

25 – Avarice

Luke 12:16-21

16 And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.

17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

19 And I'll say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

21 “This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.”
