What is our greatest temptation? “I know more than Jesus!”
Giving into that temptation breaks The First Commandment, “Thou shall have no other gods before Me.”
The vain put personal opinions before God. When we put ourselves before God, we are worshiping lies.
Our Judge told us whom He would bless: “You are My friends if you obey My commands.” The willfully disobedient keep themselves from being among His “friends”. Willful disobedience keeps us from His blessings.
Willful disobedience puts us among His disobedient enemies. He still loves us. He still wants us to obey. Our vanity keeps His Love from reaching us. The vainer we are, the farther we fall from Him.
We must strive to obey all of The Holy Instructions from Jesus. We who are blessed to respect Him know the penalty of disobeying The Great Church-Founding Decree of Jesus:
“I say unto you thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.”
Willful Disobedience to His Church-Founding Decree automatically separates us from Him. What is our greatest temptation? It is falling into the Commandment-breaking trap of believing: “I know more than Jesus!”
No one knows more than Jesus! The enormity of saying, “I am right! Jesus is wrong!” is the beginning of every sin.
Vanity keeps us from the only “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.” that Jesus left on earth! Vanity then keeps us from passing His Great Test of Human Vanity: “Do you respect Me enough to obey what I have told you fourteen times:
‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’?”
His obedient “friends” do what is necessary to receive Catholic Communion.
