Luke 6.37-49 - Sermon on the Plain (Part 2)

Jesus' most famous sermon continues with some of his more famous imagery.  Jesus is a preacher, but Jesus is not preachy.  His images are earthy and easy to understand, yet they are not earthly, dull, or flat.  Jesus' true message is about imitation and discipleship.  If we follow the ways of Jesus, we are more concerned with leading ourselves than leading others.
When we call Him "Lord, Lord", we commit ourselves to imitate Him, learn His ways and follow Him.
