- Jesus said that His Kingdom is extremely valuable.
- It is a treasure, and it's exciting.
- It is the most important thing that you could ever possess.
- So much so, that this man sold everything he had to get it.
- The Kingdom of God is where God Rules and where He reigns.
- It is the place where His power is demonstrated.
- In John 14:23 Jesus said that, "All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them."
- When you give your life to Jesus, It’s like opening the door of your home to Him.
- You open it and welcome Him in.
- Then He comes and makes His home in you!
- In Luke 17:21 Jesus also said that "the kingdom of God is within you.”
- If Jesus lives in you, and the kingdom of Heaven is where He rules and reigns then He wants to demonstrate His power through you each and every day.
- He wants to show the world the power of forgiveness through you!
- He wants to Love to the unloveable, through you!
- He wants to restore the broken, through you.
- He wants to heal the hurting through you.
- He wants to establish His power through you!
- The question is, How valuable is it to you?
- Eternal life is a free gift from God to you.
- There is absolutely nothing we can do to earn it.
- It is beyond your power to purchase it.
- But that does not mean that God requires nothing from us.
- In fact, He expects that we give up everything for Him.
- It will cost you your pride.
- It will cost you, your time.
- It will cost you your friends.
- It will cost you your "stuff" that you own.
- Mark 8:36 says, "And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?"
- You could have everything this world has to offer and actually have nothing.
- Are you willing to give up everything for Him?
- It's a free gift and it's your choice.
- Have a great Monday!
