V.4-5 The Lord Jesus was going to be put to death, and so were some of His followers. But He tells them not to fear men who could kill the body but to fear God, who could cast a lost soul into hell.
V.6-7 Then He speaks to their hearts and turns their thoughts away from fear entirely and speaks of the loving care that God had for them.
V.8-12 What wonderful promises confess their name before His Father if they confessed the name of Jesus to people. Are we ashamed?
V.13-15 Jesus wasn’t on earth to settle someone’s inheritance! They need to beware of being like the rich fool.
V.16-21 This poor, rich man thought only of himself.
V.13-21 The world has rejected the Lord, the only truly righteous One, and so even to this day, we see much that is unfair and unjust. Let us not set our hearts on things that will soon be left behind.
