I love this teaching series. What a beautiful Gospel. Couple thoughts: 1. Jesus is speaking of Kingdom and the disciples ask well then who can be saved. Jesus wasn't talking about salvation though. Why are they making that assumption? Or is it a translational error like the word "perfect".? 2. Whoever wants to save his life will loose it. This just hit me. This is a "whats your motivation and purpose" statement. If my motivation for entering the Kingdom is eternal self preservation, fire insurance driven by fear of eternal damnation, i have missed the boat. But also if that is what im telling others than that isnt helpful to them either. "Hey, you are going to burn in hell forever. If you want to save your eternal life then here do 'this' ". That is a hard thing to accept or wrestle with. How can that not be my motivation on some level?
Nothing is wasted. Amen!! My older brother is 44 yrs old and paralyzed from the neck down, in excruciating pain 75% of the time. But God wastes NOTHING 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 who knew hed hit the gene lotto and his C2 spine would give out and leave him paralyzed.
In the latest Bema podcast Marty said that Jesus’ last name isn’t Christ. I’m not sure he’s right on this one. I’ve always heard his first name is Jesus, his last name is Christ, and his middle initial is H.
This has been so enriching! Thank you for teaching and sharing!
I RANK this as a very thought provoking and life changing series should we choose to take the journey
Again awesome kingdom teaching!!! Thank you!!!!
Great message, thank you for taking the time to prepare your thoughts and giving us reason to pause and reflect on the Kingdom.
