In this sermon Jesus has just finished thoughts on worship when He spoke of giving, praying, and fasting. The next section will deal with our literal existence in the world in which we love. Inserted between these two sections is a check on the choices and priorities we have to make in life. How does Jesus challenge those who are listening, and us today?
