This is a very important lesson we should learn while we are young, so we do not make this mistake of judging others and situations by how they look. This is found throughout the teaching of Jesus.

We can prove that we have heard something and that we trust and have faith in someone when we actually do what we are being asked to do.

It is up to us to know God’s word, so we can obey it. His word is our roadmap and our manual on what God requires of us.

Thinking you are above everyone else will eventually bring you shame and embarrassment like the emperor in the story. We must stay humble before God and others.

We should never too overconfident in our own abilities, skills or talents. We must always acknowledge that they are all from the Lord, and that we cannot do everything on our own. We need others.

God does not like lying or bearing false witness. The scripture goes as far as to say that Satan is the father of lies, and that liars will not make it to heaven. We must guard our hearts so that the words that come from us can be truthful and honest.

Jesus came to seek and to save those who were lost, bring healing to the sick and to set the captive free. It is his will for us to show kindness to others and not be partial.

We must forgive others so that God can forgive us, and so we can move forward in our lives.
