What Matters to Jesus

As I have been studying the Sermon on the Mount for our current sermon series I was reminded on a traveling evangelist who had two sermons he preached everywhere he went. Listen to the titles. “The Things That Upset Jesus That Don’t Upset Us”, and the second was, “The Things That Upset Us That Didn’t Upset Jesus.”

I love those and I wonder what things do we as Christians sometimes get uptight about that don’t really matter to Jesus. Then I wonder if there are many things we kind of overlook that really upset Him.

I know worry would fit into the latter category. We look at worry as a respectable sin yet to Jesus it shows a lack of trust in God. Wonder about some other examples?
