Q4. (Luke 13:18-20) According to these parables in this lesson, in what ways is the Kingdom small? It is small in that it is only one way to enter in. Repent, believe in the Lord Jesus with all your heart, accept Him and confess with the mouth and thou shall be saved. This is hard for some people to do, because they put so much ahead of Christ. I was also included with that group at one time, but thank God for His grace and mercy.
In what ways does the Kingdom grow? one heart sharing with another the beautiful news of the Kingdom.
In what ways is the Kingdom door narrow? It is narrow in that it is only one way to enter in and that is receiving the Lord Jesus as one's personal savior, repent and turn away from the old life style and live the new life according to the Kingdom rules. We can not do it our way, but do it God's way. It is only one way.
In what way is the Kingdom banquet, on the one hand, large and diverse, and on the other, selective?
Because people will come from all over which makes it large and diverse. There will be people of all color in heaven. Only those who obeyed and heeded to the call and were obedient can enter in.
