Importance of Listening to Jesus

As a Christian, it is crucial to listen to Jesus Christ and follow his teachings. Jesus established a church, not a cafeteria, which means we cannot pick and choose our beliefs like selecting dishes in a serving line. Jesus corrected common interpretations of Jewish law, demonstrating his divine authority. His teaching was backed by the authority of being the Messiah and the Son of God. Rejecting what Christ taught goes against being a faithful Christian.
