Let Jesus teach you

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Proverbs 5:1-5

1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
Lend your ear to my understanding,
2 2 That you may preserve discretion,
And your lips may keep knowledge.
3 3 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey,
And her mouth is smoother than oil;
4 4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 5 Her feet go down to death,
Her steps lay hold of hell.

Flesh versus Spirit (Part 1) - Jesus in Genesis

Genesis 13:10-13

10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other. 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom wereexceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord.

Fool-Proof (Part 1)

Proverbs 12:15 - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.

Abraham in Eygpt - Jesus in Genesis

Genesis 12:10 - Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.

Father of the faith - Jesus in Genesis

Genesis 12 Now the Lord had said to Abram:

“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Endurance - Let us run

Hebrews 12:1 -  Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 

Jesus in Genesis - Part 3

Genesis 4:1Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the Lord. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell.

6 So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”

8 Now Cain talked with Abel his brother;[a] and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?”

He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 And He said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.
