SOME OF THE QUESTIONS OF THE LORD JESUS. Ye are the salt of the earth; but Matthew v. 13. if the salt have lost his savour, If If wherewith shall it be salted? ye love them which love you, Matthew v. 46. what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? ye salute your brethren only, Matthew v. 47. what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Is not the life more than meat, and Matthew vi. 25. the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for Matthew vi. 26. they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can Matthew vi. 27. add one cubit unto his stature? |
