And yet, many people don't want it. This week in Luke 7 we discover why many don't jump at the chance at having such a brilliant free gift.

In Luke chapter 7:1-10 we discover the radical difference the gospel brings as we see Jesus' approach to people, whatever we may think they're worth.

Mufasa taught Simba that the dead are amongst the stars in the 'Circle of Life'. Bertrand Russell insisted 'When I die, I rot'. Jesus teaches resurrection. It is altogether more credible.

Jesus' claims and actions were sufficiently extravagant for those around him regularly to question his authority. Their questions and his response reveal not only the truth about him – but also about them, and us!

In Matthew 19:16–26, Jesus shows that the rich are especially prone to self-justification and often think they can 'find a way.' Yet alongside challenge, Jesus offers encouragement: 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'

God knows how we work best. But marriage is about far more than human flourishing. The state of marriage in a nation is an indicator of the spiritual state of the nation. Whether married or single, Jesus' teaching on marriage will help every one of us to navigate this key area of life. No
