The tax collector may have been seen as a person of bad beliefs, but that should not stop him from being able to pray to God. #JesusSocialJustice #DrMTheo111

@AndyHamer7 We can celebrate our faith, but we cannot gloat or brag. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Andy Hamer @AndyHamer7]

The tax collector's repentance demonstrates how God acknowledges humility. Prayer and other observances are not simply ritualistic; instead, we must pursue the purer virtues behind them. Being truly contrite is more important than seeming to be. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

@Michael66858486 She is persistent in what she believes in, maybe thats how persistent we should be in our faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@Stacyonna2 It is un just for anyone to claim they are a better follower of Faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@mattdepreytheo The women was faithful in her hopes for vengeance, kinda like when we are faithful in hopes to be forgiven. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

@AndreaDauterman The Pharisee claimed he was better than the Tax collector, but he put shame on the tax collector. #DrMtheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@AndyHamer7 Building off of this, the rich man gave to his family. He claimed he should be saved because of this, but he ignored the person who needed his assistance even more. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@lzheng0626 Our level of social status has nothing to do with our faith. If we follow our faith as if it is all that matters, then we will be saved. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@KatieVivacqua I like this because it is so easy to get lost in our faith when fortune is involved. Fortune can make us go blind to our own faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@JackSimone14 It is not how much fortune you have, but how wholesomely follow your faith. Lazarus had nothing, but stayed true to his faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@oliviacheung02 We also have the responsibility to seek out those who really need the help. It may not be the ones we see at first glance. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

The rich man is an example of how fortune can make one blind. Lazarus played no role in the rich mans life, therefore the rich man did not search for Lazarus. The rich man may have helped his family, but was blind to those who needed the help. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@Caitlyn89691687 Even when we may disobey God, we have the opportunity to find ourselves through our faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@KellyMonahan3 This is my favorite parable because of how unimportant the coin could seem. No matter what is lost, God will rejoice. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@soucekr1 Great way of putting this message. I like to think we can rejoice in faith because when we are lost, we are found by our faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@EmmaDurbin6 This parable really showed us that no matter how insignificant it may seem, we will be found by the faith of God, and then rejoice. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@lzheng0626 If we lose our faith, or go down a wrong path like the sheep, God will find us. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

In the parable of the lost sheep, we learn that God notices us. If we lose ourself, God will seek us out, and find us. Just like the shepherd did for his one missing sheep. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[Christian Benson @Cpbenson2020]

@mattdepreytheo No matter the level of fortune we receive in life, we can never stop giving trust and love to our faith. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice
