The Bible is God's love letter to Mankind. It shows what He values. What do we value? In this chapter, we see the heart of God.

Luke 7: 1 - 10
Some blessings are universal. Some blessings are contingent on good behavior.
Jesus was amazed twice:
Mark 6 - He was amazed at the unbelief of the people of his hometown of Nazareth, fellow Jews.

Faith pleases God. 
Being close to God is a blessing.
Ezekiel 18:23 God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.
