Matthew 20:24-28

Matthew 20:24-28

  1. We learn that there may be pride, jealousy, and love of preeminence even among true disciples of Christ.
  2. We learn that a life of self-denying kindness to others is the true secret of greatness in the kingdom of Christ.
  3. We learn that the Lord Jesus Christ is intended to be the example of all true Christians.
  4. We learn from these verses that Christ's death was an atonement for sin.

"Happy is that man who is truly humble, strives to do good in his day, walks in the steps of Jesus, and rests all his hopes on the ransom paid for him by Christ's blood. Such a man is a true Christian!"

Hi! My name is Shaun Martens, and I have the joy of serving the local body of Christ called First Baptist Church of Calgary as one of its pastors. I am married to my beautiful wife, Madelyn, and together we have 5 children, 3 of which we have the joy of parenting. I created this podcast to make the edifying writings of J.C. Ryle more accessible in a listening and devotional format.
If you are encouraged by this work or have any feedback or questions, I would love to hear from you! My email is smartens@firstbaptistcalgary.com.
