The Three Gross Misconceptions of Man, 12:49-59

Jesus covered two gross misconceptions of man.

1. Misconception 1: The Messiah has not yet come (v.54-57)

a. Truth 1: people discern the weather, i.e. earthly events

b. Truth 2: people do not discern the signs of times, the Messianic age

c. Truth 3: people do not discern spiritual matters

2. Misconception 2: Men have no need to make peace with God (v.58-59)

a. Truth 1: people have a bad case before God, the judge

b. Truth 2: the time is urgent-“try hard”

c. Truth 3: The surety of payment, that is judgement

Thought: The believer is to love God first and foremost then his/her family.
