Dear friends,
There is a doctrine out there that says. Jesus and the cross are not the gospel the Kingdom is...hmmmmm...
Imagine this:.. I have a best friend. And I want to introduce him to you. Would I start with telling you about what he can do for you or would I tell you about his person, how we met and Why I love him so much?
When I do introduce the Lord I love to start at Adam to fully explain from the beginning..
The Lord himself pointed to the Father as the Gospel and not just to what the Father Could do for us. But we are not gold diggers. We seek the giver not the gift.
Jesus says.. to know the Father is eternal life. And to know the one He send. And Jesus came so that we have life and life more abundandly. In him we inherit the Kingdom. And all Earthly things for life are given to us. He did not say to know the kingdom is eternal life..the Word says God so loved the world He gave His son. And Not.. He so loved the world he gave us the inheritance of his son, the Kingdom.
Those who follow the Lord only for food, clothing and shelter...are not different than those who followed because of the bread they ate from the couple of fish and bread and after they were full wanted to make Him King.
We follow the Lord and have intimate fellowship with him because we LOVE HIM. We delight ourself in Him Not FROM Him. Because in HIM we live and move and have our being.
There is still much that can be said about this but.. but for now..
God bless!
