➤ Signs of the Times — Jesus chided the religious leaders of his day, because they could read the weather in the sky, but they couldn't see the signs of a different and far more important “storm” building up: a storm of hatred against Jesus God’s Son (Matthew 16:1-4).
➤ In Need of a Physician —When Matthew, a new disciple of Jesus, put on a dinner for the Master, he invited his friends who were all tax gatherers and sinners. The religious leaders of Jesus’s day criticised Jesus for associating with these sinners. Jesus answered that sinners need compassion and a physician (Matthew 9:9-13).
➤ Narrow is the Gate —The parable of the two gates pictures the people of Earth walking on two roads. One is broad and many walk that way. The other is narrow and few find the gate to it. These two roads don't lead to the same place (Matthew 7:13-14).

➤ Well Done! Come! —On Judgment day, Jesus will commend and reward the deeds we do for others, and appreciate them as though they were done for him (Matthew 25:23,34,40).
