Jesus characterizes the entrance to the Kingdom here as

The point of the Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Leaven is that they start our small and they grow into something big. This probably encouraged Jesus

The way that the Lord

Jesus is frightening us with the statement because he is very serious about forgiving somebody. He knows that if you don

I think that the purpose of casting the huge debt with the small one is put the point across. The Unmerciful Servant was forgiven much but was unwilling to forgive a small amount. If I were to put myself in the parable, the debt that I would owe monetarily would be the small debt. The debt that might be owed to me would also be small. The king was insulted by the unmerciful servant

The number times that Jesus tells us to forgive should be taken figuratively. They are figurative of the number of times that we forgive. So we must keep on forgiving every time somebody asks us to forgive. This teaches us that God

I think this verse is so famous because it tells us how much God really does love us. It teaches us that God loves everybody in the world. It teaches us that all we have to do is believe in Jesus. The synonym

The thing here that Jesus teaches us about the nature of the Kingdom of God is that is a spiritual place. It isn

I think that Jesus is teaching us about the value and worth of the Kingdom because we are to set our sights on it. He wants us to know that there is nothing better and that our hopes are not for nothing. We are tempted to value it so little because it isn

Poverty and self-sacrifice is an inadequate religion because it is all about you. It isn

The reason that Jesus requires the rich young ruler to divest himself of his fortune is because he knows that this fortune is his idol. He is worshiping him money more than his God. This troubles us so much because we may be asked to give up something that we like to do or we are worshiping. There is a way for the man to be saved because further down in the chapter it says that only God can save. This man may not be able to because he worshiping his wealth instead of God.

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and Pearl of Great Price have in common that people were willing to sell everything they have in order to acquire great wealth. The main point of these parables is that we have a greater treasure in heaven and we should do anything in order to acquire that great wealth. The way that this should affect our values and our lives is that we should be willing to do anything that God asks us to do for the Kingdom. We should always look to the Kingdom as our great wealth.

The passage teaches us about the separation and judgment that will occur when the Kingdom comes is that it will be immediate and we will not be able to ask for forgiveness. We need to keep right with God. This should affect our lives so that we keep right with God. We should be reading the bible and praying. Our testimony should be about the coming of the Kingdom and our love for our neighbors should be that we tell them about the Kingdom.

The indications that Jesus gives in this passage that he will suddenly come in his Kingdom without further warning is that we will be living our lives and think that everything is going great. It will be like every other day. The implication of our attitude is that when we see something coming on that day we will have a tendency to go and get our material things. The attitude for our lives is that we will want to run for them.

The words about lightning teach us that the nature of the coming of his Kingdom will be like a big broadcast. Everybody is going to know about it.

The sense that the Kingdom of God was present in the Person and ministry of Jesus is that Jesus was wholly God and wholly man. Jesus is the one that started calling the disciples together in order to teach them about the kingdom. The sense that the Kingdom of God is present today is that He left us a comforter so we could go to him at anytime that we needed Him. He is the one that guiding us today.

Jesus is teaching us here about the nature of the Kingdom that is a place that we should do everything that necessary to enter it. If we keep God first and our family second that proves that we are to do the things with force that needed to be done.

I think that our continual asking, seeking, and knocking is so essential to our looking forward to the Kingdom so that we keep our eye on the prize. We give up so easily because we don

The meaning of verse 33 to

I think that Jesus does mean that we can

I think that the intent of the Parable of the soils was to teach us about the

The factor that makes a disciple especially good soil for the growth of the word or message of the Kingdom is that he is open to the learning from the bible. He is still teachable and is reading his bible daily. Then after he has read and understand the bible he will put those word to work. That will be the reason for the 30-fold, 60-fold, and 100-fold of growth.
