Today, you show me more about what is it mean by the Kingdom of Heaven.
- Faith ( Luke 13:18)
- Forgiveness ( Matt 18:23)
- Power ( 1 Corin 4:20)
- Within me ( Luke 17:21)
- Treasure ( Matt 13:45)
- Follow Christ ( Matt 19:21)
- Humility ( Matt 20:28)
- Righteousness ( Matt 21:31)
I come across these two scriptures even though i don't really understand yet i believe that You will show me and teach me through your spirit.
" The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this and it's marvelous in our eyes. He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed" ( Matt 21:42)
The stone that the builders rejected = Jesus
Those who fall on Jesus will be broken by truth-- no longer live by themselves
But those who don't fall on Jesus/truth , then when the wrath of God comes, they will be crushed.
- A person may be broken with repentence as a result of falling on Christ.
- A person refused to repent, the result is judgement
" For many are invited, but few are chosen" ( Matt 22:14)
- Many are invited, few come
- Many come, but few are chosen
- To me, i think there are two steps to be chosen
- when called, follow
- when follow, put on a garment ( obeying and following Christ
The wedding garment is all that matters--- many are called by God and respond by consecrating to righteous living. They receive John's baptism, but, like the Ephesian and the Hebrews at that time, they are not baptized into Christ. they have not put on Christ. therefore it is important to put on the wedding garment( Christ)
