Subject: Jesus and the ruling Powers |
Bible Note: Dear ladams, Let me see if I can help a bit. I think in order to understand about the nature of the Kingdom of God, we should study who belong to it by studying Jesus's teachings. Those who (are): - poor in the spirit (Mat 5:3) - persecuted for the sake of righteousness (Mat 5:10) - teach and keep the commandments (Mat 5:19) - do the will of God (Mat 7:21) - humble themselves as children (Mat 18:4) - fruitful believers (Mat 21:43) - prudent believers (Mat 25:1-13) - faithful believers (Mat 25:14-30) - loving believers (Mat 25:31-46) Now, I leave the rest for your own search in concern with what Jesus said about the scribes and Pharisees whom to be compared with the above. Just my 2 cents. Shalom Azure |
