Father of the Inklings
Command #115 - Don’t Look Back On Your Past Life
The image Jesus is alluding to here is familiar from many sermon illustrations. The farmer guiding his single plow behind donkey or horse or ox desires to plough a precisely straight furrow from one end of the field to the other.

Father of the Inklings
Command #113 - Love Me By Having My Commands and Words and Keeping Them

Father of the Inklings
Command #112 - Don’t Separate What God Has Joined

Father of the Inklings
Command #110 - Be Wise As Snakes and Innocent As Doves

Command #109 - Wash One Another’s Feet
The ongoing debate between how ”literal” one is to take the accounts and Commands of the Bible is filled with pomposity, self-righteousness, and thorough inconsistency on all sides.

Command #107 - Don’t Cast Your Pearls Before Swine
We have already spoken of those few Commands too specific and unclear of meaning to be grouped with others. Near the top of the list are surely, Have salt in yourselves and, Don’t cast your pearls before swine.

Command #102 - Give Up Everything
All the Commands are subject to misunderstanding, overemphasis, and underemphasis. The Commands of Jesus can be taken so out of context and misapplied, that they can even become false gods and idols that blind vision from the true nature of the Commands.
