● Jesus 4.0 🚨 SPOILER ALERT! 🚨 Searching For THE REAL Jesus!! ●

● JESUS PREACHES "PREPPING" FOR ANOTHER DAY ~

"If we only think about the things of this life, then we have failed, and missed the most important thing. Have we forgotten, that Jesus said we can actually prepare (PREP) for, and send things up ahead of us, for the future life that is coming? Note that He not only said:

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures...",

But He also said:

"Lay up for yourselves Treasures..."

(Matthew 6:19 & 20)

● We are "peppers" in earthly matters, for a sometimes unexpected & unpredictable future.

● We should even more importantly be, "Preppers" for a 100% sure & predictable future. If we are not, then we have failed to prep for lifes most important event."

● Some people don't want to see the humanity of Jesus. But it is crucial to become like Him.

● Jesus is both human & divine.
If we as humans are to become like the divine,
Then we must see the divine One as human.

● Did Jesus shine like Moses? No.

● The Chosen is like going to Israel...it fills in some much needed gaps.

● "The human desire to avoid difficulty news sometimes makes one deaf" ~ Johnahan Romie (as Jesus)

SCRIPTURES: [Things the REAL JESUS taught His followers. These are the verses you should write down and commit memory!]

1. LAY UP YOUR TREASURES ~ Matthew 6:19-21
[19] “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;  [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.  [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

2. WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT ~ Mark 8:34-38

[34] When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.  [35] For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.  [36] For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  [37] Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?  [38] For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

3. A MANS LIFE CONSISTETH NOT ~ Luke 12:13-15

[13] Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” [14] But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”  [15] And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

4. BUILDING BIGGER BARNS ~ Luke 12:16-21

[16] Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.  [17] And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’  [18] So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.  [19] And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’  [20] But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ [21] “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
