Because maybe they thought they were super powerful, I don't know. We have this difficulty, my brothers, and Jesus needs to put brakes on us. Because otherwise we will think that we are the ones who do the work, that the church is powerful, that the pastor is powerful, that the leader is powerful. No, no, no, the powerful is Christ. [00:47:54] (23 seconds)  #ChristIsThePower

Jesus is correcting ambition in their hearts. Teaching that the greatness in the kingdom of God is in humility and simplicity. In the midst of all this confusion, Jesus is teaching. In the midst of the confusion of our lives, Jesus is always teaching. Whether we learn or not. [00:51:16] (21 seconds)  #HumilityInGreatness

Because we forget, my brother, that there is no Christianity without a cross, without a valley, without adversity, and without this need for us to show Jesus in the midst of all these problems. [00:57:33] (17 seconds)  #CrossAndChristianity

Because to admire power without understanding the sacrifice is to stop fulfilling the purpose. There are people who are admired by the church, but they don't fulfill the purpose. There are people who admire themselves with the things of God, with the music, with the ascent of the temple. They are admired, as everything is very glorious, but my brother, it is in the day by day of faith, taking your cross day by day and following, that you will learn with Jesus. [00:57:57] (31 seconds)  #PurposeInSacrifice

Presumption is exaggerated self-confidence ignores the will and help of God. And it's the opposite of what we have and know as spiritual humility. While faith trusts in God, presumption trusts in itself. We depend on the Lord, brothers. We depend on Jesus. Presumption takes us away from prayer. Why? Because we think we already know enough. But Luke is showing that true faith keeps the heart dependent, keeps the heart humble, recognizing that without Christ, we can do nothing. [01:06:02] (42 seconds)  #FaithNotPresumption

Distraction is one of the most subtle weapons against the disciple, against the disciple. Jesus, the devil wants to distract you, my brother, all the time. He wants to steal your look, he wants you to forget about the mission. The devil, my brother, does not need to destroy whoever he can distract. Does not need to. [01:12:53] (27 seconds)  #StayFocusedOnMission

The danger is not only in losing yourself in sin, but also in losing ourselves in the excess of good things that take the focus from God. There are people who are believers, who are not in sin, but they are lost, because they are lost in the excess of good things, they are distracted by the devil. They left the congregation, they do not have time for God, they do not have time for prayer, for communion, for intercession, because they may be saying, God is blessing me, when in fact it may be the devil distracting you. [01:13:58] (48 seconds)  #BewareGoodDistractions

``God does not use those who wish to be great. He uses those who wish to be faithful. He uses the faithful. That's why the kingdom advances in the name of Jesus, my brothers. They should learn this, that the true disciple does not fight for exclusivity, but the true disciple celebrates when the gospel is preached. Celebrates when someone is free.
