Lora and I were discussing the "Kingdom of Heaven" on our walk last night and we got quite entrenched in our discusion as we are both in the book of Matthew. I'd like some comments ,corrections , or opinions on this view I have.
The Kingdom of Heaven is like.....
Many people speak of Jesus as there Savior but not so much there Lord , leaving them to trust in His sacrifice but not modeling his examples or sanctifing there own personal lives.
I believe JESUS is LORD and Savior. As our Lord if every person in the world followed Jesus's teaching on righteousness and servitude the "Kingdom of Heaven" would be here.
Not that we are without sin here , but that we sincerely try to remove it as much as we can from our lives (not so ironically , if we do as Jesus says and put others needs ahead of our own many of these sins disappear). This attitude of serving and sanctification has to be prevelant in our lives to enter the "Kingdom of Heaven"
Now as we fall short despite our own efforts , Jesus's sacrifice on our behalf becomes MOST important as we learn and admit we just can't do it without Jesus our Lord AND Savior.
