Bible: Matthew 11:11-14 Title: Heaven of the Violent
In the Old Testament times, there are many people that the world cannot handle. Among them are the anointed prophets, priests, and kings. Jesus extolled John the Baptist, the last prophet of the Old World who was imprisoned. “Among those born of women there is no one greater than John.” But he said, “The least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John.”
1. In the kingdom of heaven, the smallest is greater than that (11).
He says that the disciples of Jesus living in the new age are greater than all the great ones in the old age. Jesus disciples are greater than prophets, priests, and kings. The prophets prophesied about the coming kingdom of God and the Messiah, but their knowledge is like reading a book under the light of a lantern, while the disciples of Jesus are like reading a book under the light of the sun. The information contained in the name of Jesus is terabytes. Unlike the sons of Aaron the High Priest that the sons of Aaron the High Priest go into the Most Holy once a year to ask for atonement, they can always boldly approach the throne of grace to receive the grace of helping in time of need. The kings of the old days defended their country by fighting on the battlefield against visible enemies of the nations. However, the disciples of Jesus in the new age can break the power of Satan by trampling on the serpent's head with the power of the name of Jesus. Anything you ask in Jesus name can be answered.
You are a royal priesthood and a chosen people.
2. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it away (12).
Heaven is like a subway station, when the door opens, the first person to enter and sit down becomes the owner. It is like when the gates of a defeated country are opened, conquerors enter the city and steal the spoils, and they become theirs. The Jews were not interested in opening the gates, but sinners, tax collectors, and prostitutes rushed toward the open gates and a dynamic movement appeared to take possession of the kingdom of God. Aggressor means the same as invader
In the old days, they were dragged around with their land, descendants, and sovereignty deprived of the world. However, with the advent of the new age of Jesus Christ, what was stolen was restored and restored. The most important work of Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. When Lot became a prisoner of war, he came as Abraham brought Lot and all his possessions. You restored everything that was lost.
3. Heaven is not for those who are full.
The parable of the people of this generation is like a child sitting and playing in a marketplace, playing the flute but not dancing, and crying but not beating the heart. Heaven is not like a mother trying to feed a child who does not want to eat while ejaculating. If you do not want to eat, it is the gospel of the kingdom that you can give to those who are hungry. We do not judge to believe in Jesus, to serve, to pray, or to read the Bible. only to declare. In Greek, time is 'chronos' and 'kairos'. ‘Kairos’ is a time that flows from the past to the present and from the present to the future, and ‘Kronos’ is a time of golden opportunity that God allows. If you don't catch it, you'll miss it. When the blind Jericho heard that Jesus was passing by, he knew that if he missed him, he would not be able to see his eyes forever, so he cried out desperately, stopped the way Jesus was going and opened the eyes of the blind. The Syrophonic woman's faith was also desperate. Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum did not hold onto the Christ, although Jesus performed so many mighty things. Heaven is a country to enter only when we seize the opportunity and actively invade.
