You Will NEVER ENTER The Kingdom Mt5:20 s4e130

Jesus says that if you don't do this task, you will NEVER enter the Kingdom of God.  We probably should pay pretty close attention to that task.

What is it? Being BETTER in keeping all the Old Testament laws than the current world record holders of that sport: the Pharisees.  In fact Jesus says that even THEY don't make it.  The line exceeds what they accomplish.  In fact, it is perfection.  Good luck with that.  So, though the Bible reveals all kinds of divine character, it also has a check list that nobody has ever met, until Jesus came.

So the very point of the Bible is that you CANNOT meet its criteria.  Nobody keeps kosher, so to speak.  We all fall short.  We all end up bereft if we put our eggs in the basket of earning.  Jesus says we could NEVER do it.  That is the sharp point of the Bible.  

But wait, there is good news.  We got a Guy who met all the requirements perfectly and is ready to have us climb on His back by faith. Come back tomorrow and let's learn some more stuff about Him.  Meantime, subscribe on PlayerFM, Deezer, TuneIn+Alexa, Podchaser, Pocketcast Index, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
