'Reject Lust.'
Matthew 5:27-30.
a) Matthew 5:27. We should not commit adultery.
b) Matthew 5:28. Whoever looks at a woman, lusting after her in his heart has already committed adultery with her.
c) Matthew 5:29. We need to deal with these lustful looks urgently.
d) Matthew 5:30. All lustful acts with our hands must be stopped.
(This QT strongly reminds me to Reject Lust and to teach others to do so)

'Blessing Follows Order.'
John 6:10-13.
a) John 6:10. Jesus asked all the multitude of people to sit down.
b) John 6:11. Jesus:-
1-Gave thanks for the bread.
2-Distributed to the Disciples.
3-The Disciples served the people who were sitting down.
4-Likewise the fish.
c) John 6:11-12. The people all ate as much as they wanted and were satisfied.
d) John 6:12. Jesus asked His Disciples to collect all the food that remained after the people had eaten their fill.
e) John 6:13. Eventually the Disciples picked up twelve baskets full.
(This Second one teaches me that Blessing Follows Order)

Chris.
The Teaching of Jesus about adultery and its associated sins was always very strong and that Teaching is still standing today. There is nothing more emotionally damaging to family units as these sexual and relational sins.
