Five Compliments of Christ

Nathaniel

For His Guilelessness

John 1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and

said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"


The Widow

For Her Liberality

Mark 12:41-44 41 Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many

who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two

mites, which make a quadrans.


The Widow

For Her Liberality

43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow

has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;

44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole

livelihood."


John the Baptist

For His Greatness

Matthew 11:11 "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist;

but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.


The Roman Centurion

For his Great FaithMatthew 8:5-10

5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,

6 saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented."

7 And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him.“ 8 The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not

worthy that You should come under my roof


The Roman Centurion

For his Great Faith But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my

servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those

who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!


Mary

For her good workMark 14:3-9

3 And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she

broke the flask and poured it on His head. 4 But there were some who were indignant among

themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted?


Mary

For her good work5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they

criticized her sharply. 6 But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble

her? She has done a good work for Me. 7 For you have the poor with you always, and

whenever you wish you may do them good; but Me you do not have always.


Mary

For her good work

8 She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.

9 Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has

done will also be told as a memorial to her."
