Jesus Shows Us How To Live A Holy Life Series

*This is the only path to true greatness. Humbling ourselves to trust in the cross of Jesus Christ, knowing that we deserve to spend forever in hell. And trusting that God loves us so much, He was willing to humble Himself to die on the cross for our sins. And now the Risen Savior wants to give us a life of humble service that makes us look like Him.

CONCLUSION:

*Most of the scribes and Pharisees missed it forever. But it's not too late for us. Jesus shows us how to live a holy life. Let's ask Him to help us, and He surely will. And if you have never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, put your trust in the Lord. Ask Him to save you today, and get started serving the Lord.
