#585 - Joseph Prince - The Beauty of Our Servant King - Part 3

It's not your background. It's not who you are, what people say about who you are, or who your background is; it's who you say of Jesus that makes all the difference in the world.

You can never flatter Jesus into having a good opinion of you. Neither can you ever criticize or slide him into bad or hard thoughts of you.

The Lord, when he heals someone, he never say, "Now you're obliged to follow me". He always say, "Go your way". To the Gadarene demoniac whom he freed from all those demons, he says, "Go home to your friends". Jairus's daughter, he gave back to the family. The Nain young man who was raised from the dead, Jesus handed him back to his mother. He would say, "Go home". He would say, "Go your way". He never obliged the person he heals. This is grace.

He never heals and then say, "Now you follow me". He never makes his healing, his grace as something that obligates you.
