Because you can't even skim through Matthew 5-7 without something sticking ... and sticking hard.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
- Matthew 7:7
How can it be that you, my king, would die for me? -Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. - But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. - Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.
