This world is nothing like the Kingdom of heaven. When Jesus came and brought the Kingdom with Him, He spoke and taught what was contrary to this world. The two greatest things that Jesus spoke about were His Father and the Kingdom of God. Jesus came to make peace between man and God. “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”
When Jesus came to earth the angels were proclaiming peace. “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” The Kingdom of heaven was being established here on earth. “For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Jesus came as a Prince of peace. “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Today, He is King of Peace. “For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “KING OF PEACE,” without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like THE SON OF GOD, remains a priest continually.” When Adam and Eve ate of the tree, chaos entered the world. They were no longer in a place of peace, but in the place of the curse. Jesus explains this in the parable of the good Samaritan. “Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man (Adam) went down from Jerusalem (Place of peace) to Jericho (Place of curse) , and fell among thieves (the devil), who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.” I don’t know why people call themselves sinners saved by grace when sin is a curse. “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
The Lord has given us the opportunity to be released from the curse, the curse of sin. The law exposes sin, Jesus’s blood removes it. He has given you free will to believe this. He has done everything on His end. Now it’s up to you to believe or not believe, that is the question. Be blessed, my friends.
