From Become New with John Ortberg · 13:31
Show by Become New
Why didn’t Jesus envy anyone? John Ortberg explores how envy distorts our vision, damages our speech, and turns someone else’s happiness into our pain.Through Giotto’s striking painting of envy, 1 Corinthians 13, and Romans 12:15, John offers a different way: learn to identify with others and share their joy.Today, choose one person to celebrate sincerely. Ask Jesus to help you rejoice with those who rejoice.#BecomeNew #JohnOrtberg #Envy #Love #SpiritualGrowth🙌 New episodes every weekday.📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
