Matthew 16: 26 Commentary

1. Jesus asks what advantage is it
a. If you own the world
b. But lose your soul
2. If you were to acquire:
a. All the material wealth, success, influence, power
b. Along with the admiration and love of the world
c. Do endless works of charity
d. Be the most moral man that ever lived
3. But if you did NOT put your faith in Jesus:
a. Then NOTHING you were as a person
b. Or what you owned could be bargained for
c. To rescue the damnation of your eternal soul
4. On the other hand following Jesus
a. Might lose you the world and your life
5. But you will gain it all back
a. And even more in eternity

WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE THINKS HE IS GOOD BUT IN TRUTH HE IS AGAINST GOD?

What does it profit you…if you think you are so good, but the truth is you are a fool?
What does it profit you, if someday you will say, Lord Lord I also commented about your Word and preached about you, but He will say, Depart from me, I never Knew you…

Will it come as a surprise? It will come as a surprise if right now you are a hypocrite who sees the mote in the eyes of others but cannot see the plank in your eyes.It will come as a surprise if you are blinded by self importance and had an evil heart! It will come as a surprise if you exalts yourself…for God gives grace to the humble.

Is it not a wise move on your part if you really really examine yourself and make sure whether you are in the faith?
