Read the passage: Luke 5:17-26
What is on your heart determines EVERYTHING about you.
In Luke 6:45; Jesus teaches us: For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
However, it not only speaks.
Out of the overflow of the heart, a person acts and lives and breathes and moves and does all things.
That’s why Jesus wants to deal with the heart. He doesn’t just wanna fix the surface level behavioural issues, he wants to save you at the deepest root level parts of you so you can overflow with HIS life and HIS love and His peace and HIS joy..
So what’s going on in your heart?
We’re starting a new series today called “Questions from Jesus”; and today; we’re looking at this big question:
“WHY ARE YOU THINKING THESE THINGS IN YOUR HEARTS?”
Throughout the gospels, and we see in this story as well, Jesus is teaching profound things, and healing a bunch of people and casting out demons and everyone is amazed and praising God because of it, EXCEPT FOR the religious leaders. There’s something broken and misaligned in their hearts that blinds them from enjoying the amazing works and presence of God RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM in the person of Jesus.
Which shows us, the thoughts in our hearts are often the obstacles to our connection with God.
