Is there any reward for the person who is a true disciple? Yes, there is: he becomes more like Jesus Christ and one day shares in His glory. Satan promises you glory, but in the end, you receive suffering. God promises you suffering, but in the end, that suffering is transformed into glory. If we acknowledge Christ and live for Him, He will one day acknowledge us and share His glory with us.

Jesus’ response to the Jewish leaders was twofold: the leaders invalidated God’s laws in order to keep their human traditions; and sin is a matter of the heart, not the diet. The Jews judged a man by his outward conformity to law. The spirit, attitude, and motive of an individual more clearly reveals his true nature. Man tends to look on outward appearances, but God ever looks on the heart.

One of the key lessons we learn from the life of David is that the consequences of sin are real. No one gets away with sin. Sin destroys lives, relationships, and families. We learn that immorality creates dysfunction in families. The good news is that when we return to the Lord with a humble, repentant heart, He forgives us! The grace of God always offers hope and healing.
