KINGDOM OF GOD

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said: 

 

“And again he said, Whereunto shall I LIKEN the kingdom of God? 

 

It is LIKE LEAVEN, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

How may we understand this parable ?

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This, we heard:

 

“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 

 

He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 

 

the field is the world; THE GOOD seed are the children of THE KINGDOM; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭36‬-‭38‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

THE KINGDOM is compared to GOOD or GOODNESS. 

 

Beloved ones, let us hear again what Jesus said to us:

 

“And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

And again he said, to what purpose shall I liken the GOODNESS of God?

 

Then we heard:

 

“It is like LEAVEN, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT is LEAVEN, that Jesus said ? 

 

‭‭This, we heard Jesus said: 

 

“How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of THE LEAVEN  of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 

 

Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of THE LEAVEN of bread, but of THE DOCTRINE of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

THE LEAVEN is THE DOCTRINE.

 

Beloved ones, let us hear again what Jesus said unto us:

 

“It is like LEAVEN, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like DOCTRINE, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was DOCTRINAL .

 

Now, let us consider WHAT A WOMAN TOOK AND HID IN THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, TILL THE WHOLE WAS LEAVENED, that Jesus said ?

 

This, we heard:

 

“And Abraham hastened into the tent unto SARAH, and said, Make ready quickly THREE MEASURES OF fine MEAL, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

A WOMAN, that Jesus said was SARAH.

 

What we heard about SARAH? 

 

This, we heard apostle Paul said:

 

“For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by A FREEWOMAN. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of THE FREEWOMAN was BY PROMISE. Which things are AN ALLEGORY: for these are THE  two COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage withy her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

A WOMAN, that Jesus said was COVENANT.

 

Beloved ones, let us consider again what we heard Jesus said:

 

“It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, till the whole was leavened.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, that Jesus said?

 

This we heard:

 

“And HIS DISCIPLES asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 

 

And he said, UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us be JESUS’ DISCIPLES, that ask.

 

This, we heard the disciple of Jesus, apostle John said: 

“And there are THREE that BEAR WITNESS IN EARTH, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these THREE AGREE IN ONE.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Now, let us consider again what Jesus said:

 

“And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

‭

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in THREE MEASURES OF MEAL, till the whole was leavened.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭20-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

And again JESUS said, TO WHAT PURPOSE shall I liken the GOODNESS of God?

THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like A DOCTRINE, which  A COVENANT OF FREEDOM PROMISED AND SEALED IN THREE WITNESS IN EARTH AGREE IN ONE, TILL THE WHOLE COVENANT WAS DOCTRINAL: THE SPIRIT, AND THE WATER, AND THE BLOOD: AND THESE THREE AGREE IN ONE. 

Beloved ones, the purpose of the goodness of God, shall we liken a doctrine, which a covenant of freedom promised and sealed in three witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 

 

Beloved ones, let us remember what we heard:

 

“And he TAUGHT them many things BY PARABLES, and SAID unto them IN HIS DOCTRINE,”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And they were astonished at HIS DOCTRINE: FOR HIS WORD WAS WITH POWER.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“Jesus answered them, and said, MY DOCTRINE  is not mine, but HIS THAT SENT ME.”

‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬

 

Beloved ones, let our doctrine be not ours but HIS THAT SENT US. 

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“Then said he, Unto WHAT is THE KINGDOM OF GOD like? and WHEREUNTO shall I RESEMBLE it?”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

“Then said he, Unto WHAT is THE GOODNESS OF GOD like? and WHAT PURPOSE shall I RESEMBLE THE GOODNESS OF GOD?”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Then, we heard Jesus said:

 

“It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This, we heard Jesus said: 

 

“And the Lord said, If ye HAD FAITH  as A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, ye might say unto this SYCAMINE TREE, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like  HAVING FAITH, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

 

Beloved ones, let us now consider “WHICH A MAN TOOK”?

 

This, we heard: 

 

“The slothful MAN roasteth not that WHICH HE TOOK in hunting: But THE SUBSTANCE  of A DILIGENT MAN is PRECIOUS.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

The diligent man roasteth that which he took in hunting: that the substance of a diligent man is precious.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

The diligent man roasteth that WHICH HE TOOK in hunting: that the FAITH of a diligent MAN is PRECIOUS.

 

That we understand, WHICH A MAN TOOK is PRECIOUS FAITH.

 

For we also heard:

 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that HAVE  OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST:”

‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like  HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

 

Beloved ones, let us now consider what CAST INTO HIS GARDEN?

 

For we heard apostle Paul said: 

 

“For if WE HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH, we shall be also IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS RESURRECTION:”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭5KJV‬‬

 

For we also heard:

 

“When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was A GARDEN, INTO THE WHICH HE ENTERED, AND HIS DISCIPLES. 

 

And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew THE PLACE: FOR JESUS OFTIMES RESORTED THITHER WITH HIS DISCIPLES.”

‭‭John‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

This, we also heard:

 

“NOW IN THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS CRUCIFIED THERE  was A GARDEN; and in THE GARDEN A NEW SEPULCHRE, wherein was never man yet laid.”

‭‭John‬ ‭19‬:‭41‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like  HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION 

; and THE FAITH BE SAVED THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

 

Beloved ones, let us now consider WHAT WAXED A GREAT TREE ? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“And the Lord said, If ye HAD FAITH  as A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, ye might SAY unto this SYCAMINE TREE, BE THOU PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOT, and BE THOU PLANTED IN THE SEA; and it should OBEY you.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we may understand:

 

WHAT WAXED A GREAT TREE is SAID HAVING THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like  HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION; and THE FAITH BE SAVED THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and SAID HAVING THE OBEDIENCE OF OUR LORD’s FAITH; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

 

Beloved ones, let us now consider WHAT the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

 

This, we heard:

 

“A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and THE FOWLS OF THE AIR  devoured it.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And Jesus said:

 

“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 

 

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh THE DEVIL, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive: 

 

THE FOWLS OF THE AIR are THE DEVIL.

 

For we heard: “the fowls of the air lodged in the BRANCHES of IT.”

 

WHAT BRANCHES?

 

This, we heard Jesus said:

 

 “I am the vine, YE ARE THE BRANCHES: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

For we heard: : “the fowls of the air LODGED in the branches of it.”

 

WHAT the meaning of LODGED ?

 

According to Oxford dictionary:

 

(of a crop) flattened by wind or rain.

"in lodged crops there is rapid leaf decay"

 

Let us consider spiritually.

 

(of a person) FLATTER by FALSE DOCTRINE.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“THE GOODNESS OF GOD is like  HAVING FAITH, which PRECIOUS FAITH, and HAVE BEEN PLANTED TOGETHER IN THE LIKENESS OF HIS DEATH AND HIS RESURRECTION; and THE FAITH BE SAVED THROUGH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD AND OUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, and SAID HAVING THE OBEDIENCE OF OUR LORD’s FAITH; and THE DEVIL FLATTER FALSE DOCTRINE IN YOU OF THE LORD.

 

Beloved ones, we also heard:

 

“neither give place to the devil.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us not give place to the devil but rather give place to the Spirit of truth, that we abide in the word of truth of the spiritual gospel of the Lord.

 

And we also heard:

 

“EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us be in union with Jesus, that we bear fruit: that we abide in Him: we that abide in Him, He purge the flesh, that we in union with Christ may speak forth more the word of truth of the gospel of the Lord.

 

Beloved ones, let us consider the parable again, that Jesus said:

 

“Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 

 

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭13‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones,the goodness of God is like having the faith of Jesus Christ. And purpose shall Jesus resemble the goodness of God.

 

The goodness of God is like having the faith of Jesus Christ, which a precious faith, and gave our faith the likeness of His death and resurrection, that our faith be saved through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ, and said having the obedience of our Lord’s faith, for the Holy Ghost that dwell in us delight good doctrine.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said to Nicodemus:

 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

This, we also heard:

 

“And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHOULD COME, he answered them and said, THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT WITH OBSERVATION: 

 

neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! FOR, BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, we cannot SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD with physical observation but WITH SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION.

 

Let us consider again what Jesus said:

 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 

 

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man BE BORN when he is old? can he ENTER the second time into his mother's womb, and BE BORN? 

 

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 

 

THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH is flesh; and THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT is SPIRIT. 

 

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye MUST BE BORN AGAIN.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus say unto us, include a SPIRITUAL MAN BE we BORN AGAIN, we can SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 

 

For this, we also heard:

 

“having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us include A SPIRITUAL MAN, JESUS CHRIST BE we BORN as ADOPTED CHILDREN OF THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, we can PERCEIVE THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“Nicodemus saith unto him, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD?  CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER’s WOMB,AND BE BORN? 

 

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 

 

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 

 

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Let us consider again the question, that Nicodemus raised:

 

HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD?  CAN HE ENTER THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER’s WOMB,AND BE BORN? 

 

A physical man cannot be born when he is old but A SPIRITUAL MAN can be born. HOW ? 

 

A physical man cannot enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born but a spiritual man can enter the second time into HIS JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE ‘s PROMISE and be born.

 

For we also heard: 

 

“For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 

 

But he who was of the bondwoman WAS BORN AFTER THE FLESH; but he of the freewoman WAS (SPIRITUALLY BORN) BY PROMISE. 

 

Which things are an allegory: for these are the two COVENANTS; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 

 

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 

 

But JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE is FREE, which is THE MOTHER of us all.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Based on John 3:5,

 

Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus says unto us, include a  SPIRITUAL man be we born of water and of the Spirit, we can enter into the kingdom of God. 

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus says unto us, include a  SPIRITUAL man be we born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT HE SPEAKS UNTO US, we can enter into the KINGDOM of God.

 

How may can we ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD ? 

 

This we heard:

 

“Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which KEEPETH THE TRUTH may ENTER IN.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity on John 3:5

 

Beloved ones, verily, verily, Jesus says unto us, include Him the Christ be we born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT HE SPEAKS UNTO US, we can OBEY THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH, BE IN the GOODNESS of God.

 

For we also heard: 

 

“WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH THAT JESUS is THE CHRIST IS BORN OF GOD: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, a spiritual man can be born, that he can enter the second time into Jerusalem which is above’s SPIRITUAL PROMISE, and be born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAKS UNTO US, we can OBEY THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH, BE IN the GOODNESS of God.

 

Beloved ones, let us believe Jesus is the Christ or let us include Him the Christ or let us abide In Him or let us be in union with THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST, and be born of SPIRITUAL WISDOM and of THE SPIRITUAL WORDS THAT JESUS SPEAKS UNTO US, we can OBEY THE SPIRITUAL TRUTH, BE IN the GOODNESS of God.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard: 

 

“And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: and the twelve were with him,”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD are? 

 

This, we heard: 

 

“But when they believed Philip preaching THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

We perceive:

 

THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD are THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

 

WHAT THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD are ? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified THE KINGDOM OF GOD, persuading them CONCERNING JESUS, BOTH OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS, from morning till evening.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And some believed THE THINGS which were spoken, and some believed not.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

We perceive:

 

THE GLAD TIDINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD or THE THINGS CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD are CONCERNING JESUS, BOTH OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

The glad tidings of the GOODNESS OF GOD or the things concerning THE GOODNESS OF GOD are concerning JESUS, both out of the law of Moses and out of the prophets.

 

For this is also confirmed to us:

 

“And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, 

 

preaching THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and teaching THOSE THINGS WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭28‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us preach and showing the glad tidings of THE GOODNESS OF GOD, that when they believed us preaching THE THINGS CONCERNING THE GOODNESS OF GOD, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

 

Beloved ones, let us expound and testify THE GOODNESS OF GOD, persuading them CONCERNING JESUS, BOTH OUT OF THE LAW OF MOSES, AND OUT OF THE PROPHETS, from morning till evening.

 

Beloved ones, let us preach THE GOODNESS OF GOD, and teaching THOSE THINGS WHICH CONCERN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, with all confidence, no man forbidding us.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“But SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

How may we SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS?

 

This, we heard:

 

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 

 

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And this, we heard:

 

“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye SEEK JESUS, WHICH WAS CRUCIFIED. He is not here: FOR HE IS RISEN, AS HE SAID. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us SEEK FIRST THE GOODNESS OF GOD, and we shall find THAT JESUS IS RISEN, AS HE SAID. 

 

HOW may we SEEK HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS? 

 

This, we heard: 

 

“being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 

 

whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, we seek HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, we shall find 

WHOM GOD HATH SET FORTH TO BE A PROPITIATION THROUGH FAITH IN HIS BLOOD FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS THAT ARE PAST, THROUGH THE FORBEARANCE OF GOD.

 

Let us now consider again what Jesus said:

 

“But SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

That seek we first the goodness of God and His righteousness, we shall find that Jesus is risen,

as He said and whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God: being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard Jesus said to His disciples: 

 

“And again I say unto you, It is easier for A CAMEL to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT A CAMEL is ?

 

Let us compare spiritually.

 

This, we heard Jesus said:

 

“Ye BLIND GUIDES, which strain at a gnat, and swallow A CAMEL.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

If blind guides swallow a camel, a camel is A MINDFUL GUIDE or A SPIRITUAL PERCEPTIVE GUIDE.

 

For this, we heard:

 

“But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 

 

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have THE MIND OF CHRIST.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us consider again what Jesus said:

 

“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through THE EYE of a needle, than for a rich man to ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT THE EYE of a neddle is ?

 

And this, we also heard:

 

“And if thine EYE offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD with one EYE, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭47‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT ONE EYE, to  ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD?

 

This, we heard Jesus said:

 

“THE LIGHT OF THE BODY  is THE EYE: if therefore thine eye be SINGLE, thy whole body shall be full of light. 

 

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive on Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭47‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And if thine EVIL EYE offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD with one GOOD EYE (THE LIGHT OF THE BODY), than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:”

 

Beloved ones, let us consider again what Jesus said:

 

“And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through THE EYE OF A NEEDLE , than for a rich man to ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

And again I say unto you, It is easier for A SPIRITUAL PERCEPTIVE GUIDE

 to go through THE LIGHT OF THE BODY, than for a SELF RIGHTEOUS man to ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity:

 

And again I say unto you, It is GRACE for A GUIDE MINDFUL OF CHRIST to EXAMINE THE TEACHING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, LIKEWISE for a RIGHTEOUS man OF GOD to KEEP THE TRUTH, THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

Paraphrasing for more clarity:

 

And again I say unto you, It is GRACE for HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE US TO BE MINDFUL OF CHRIST to EXAMINE THE TEACHING OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE SAME for A SPIRITUAL MAN RICH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD to OBEY THE TRUTH, THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

 

Beloved ones, let us obey the truth, the goodness of God, for the goodness of God is grace for 

the Holy Spirit to guide us to be mindful of Christ to examine the teaching of the Body of Christ, the same for Christ, a spiritual man rich of righteousness of God obey the truth, the goodness of God.

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

[Santoso]

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into THE KINGDOM OF GOD before you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

How may we understand this parable?

 

Let us consider again the parable, that Jesus said:

 

“But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭29‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

“For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Now let us consider again what Jesus said:

 

“Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots GO INTO the kingdom of God before you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

“Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots BELIEVE the GOODNESS of God before you.”

 

Paraphrasing for clarity:

 

“Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots BELIEVE THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT JOHN TESTIFIED, the GOODNESS of God: and ye, when ye had seen THE TESTIMONY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD or THE GOODNESS OF GOD or THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM (Matthew 4:23), repented not afterward, that ye might believe Him.

 

Beloved ones, let us repent, that we believe the way of righteousness that John testified, THE GOODNESS OF GOD: that we, and when we perceive THE TESTIMONY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, repented beforehand, that we believe Jesus, THE GOODNESS OF GOD, WHICH DID THE WILL OF HIS FATHER. 

 

Beloved ones, this we heard about THE FIRST:

 

“Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; THE FIRST, SIMON, WHO IS CALLED PETER, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And this, we heard:

 

“When SIMON PETER SAW IT, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, DEPART FROM ME; FOR I AM A SINFUL MAN, O LORD. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at THE DRAUGHT OF THE FISHES WHICH THEY HAD TAKEN: and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, FEAR NOT; FROM HENCEFORTH THOU SHALT CATCH MEN. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Beloved ones, let us repent as Simon Peter the first, who SAW or PERCEIVE THE TESTIMONY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD or THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, that he fell down at Jesus’ knees REPENTING. 

 

Beloved ones, let us believe JESUS, THE GOODNESS OF GOD, THE TESTIMONY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, WHICH DID THE WILL OF HIS FATHER, for we that BELIEVE GO INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 

 

Beloved ones, let us fear not, as Jesus said, that we distribute THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM or THE TESTIMONY OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD and care for the SPIRITUAL THINGS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, for FROM HENCEFORTH we SHALT CATCH MEN to be justified of the LORD. 

 

For we heard: 

 

“Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 

 

and by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen

Beloved ones, we heard:

 

“Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God SHALL BE TAKEN FROM you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

WHAT The kingdom of God SHALL BE TAKEN FROM you ? 

 

This, we heard:

 

“And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom SHALL BE TAKEN FROM them, and then shall they fast.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

That we perceive:

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD is THE BRIDEGROOM.

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Therefore say I unto you, THE BRIDEGROOM shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

 

WHAT A NATION?

 

This, we heard:

 

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, AN HOLY NATION, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 

 

which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Therefore say I unto you, THE BRIDEGROOM shall be taken from you, and given to AN HOLY NATION bringing forth the fruits thereof.

 

What A NATION or AN HOLY NATION BRINGING FORTH THE FRUITS THEREOF? 

 

This, we heard about BRINGING FORTH: 

 

“for the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in THE WORD OF THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL; 

 

which is come unto you, as IT is in all the world; and BRINGETH FORTH FRUIT, as IT doth also in you, since the day ye heard of IT, and knew THE GRACE OF GOD IN TRUTH:”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

And we heard about FRUITS: 

 

“being filled with THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Therefore say I unto you, the bridegroom shall be taken from you, and given to an holy nation 

SPEAKING FORTH or REVEALING or GIVING BIRTH THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH ARE BY JESUS CHRIST, UNTO THE GLORY AND PRAISE OF GOD.

 

Beloved ones, let us consider again what Jesus said:

 

“And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom SHALL BE TAKEN FROM them, and then SHALL THEY FAST.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Paraphrasing for clarity on Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭43‬ ‭KJV‬‬

 

Therefore say Jesus  unto us, THEN SHALL WE FAST, and given to THE BRIDE ( or a nation) THE BRIDEGROOM 

SPEAKING FORTH or REVEALING or GIVING BIRTH THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH ARE BY JESUS CHRIST, UNTO THE GLORY AND PRAISE OF GOD.

 

Beloved ones, then shall we fast, and given to the bride  the bridegroom giving birth the word of truth of the gospel the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 

 

To God the Father be all glory and thanksgiving through Christ.

Amen
