Analysis of The Way of Jesus

Royston 1946 (Reading)



Loving your enemies.
Turning the other cheek.
Going the extra mile.
Giving and not taking.

Faith moving mountains.
Stepping out of the boat.
Walking the narrow way.
A mite is more than gold.

A cup of cold water.
Mustard seed sized faith.
meekness and majesty.
The first shall be last.

The deaf shall hear.
The blind shall see.
The dumb shall speak.
The dead shall live.

… and unconditional love.
