Life Under God's Reign Be Like . . . (C, K, C pt 8)

Life Under God's Reign Be Like . . . (C, K, C pt 8)

2019-02-27

What is God’s government like?  Jesus told lots of stories to help us understand!

Multiple time Jesus says, "The kingdom of God is like. . ." and "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like . . . ."

Ironically, Jesus told these stories to conceal the Kingdom as much as reveal it (Mt. 13:13)!  “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’ (Lk. 8:10)

May our eyes see and our ears hear!

“I will open my mouth in parables;
I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.” (Mt. 13:35)

“To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables," (Mk. 4:11)

At Manthanos//Kairos we had a good time acting out these stories of Jesus that conceal and reveal life under His reign.  Here we do a "light speed" review of these stories. :)

Mt. 13:31-33

“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

He told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”

"The reputed son of a carpenter instructs a few simple fisherman in a new dispensation destitute of world incentives, but full of self-denials, sacrifices, and suffering, and he tells them that in about forty years it should spread over the entire world.  It spreads accordingly, and in defiance of the bigotry of the Jews and the authority, power and active opposition of the Gentiles, it is established, within that period, in all the countries into which in penetrates.  Can anyone doubt that the prediction and its fulfillment were equally divine?" (George Peter Halford, 1805)

Col 1:23

the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Mt. 24:14

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Mt. 24:34

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Mt. 10:23

When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Mt. 13:44-45

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Mt. 18:23-35

“Therefore the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. And since he could not pay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. So the servant fell on his knees, imploring him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ And out of pity for him, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt. But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ So his fellow servant fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ He refused and went and put him in prison until he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their master all that had taken place. Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.”

Mt. 22:2-14

“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. And he said to him, Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Mt. 13:47-50

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mk. 4:13-14

And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word.

Mk. 4:11

“To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God. . . .”
