It tells us that some people will enter God’s kingdom and it tells us that some people will not enter God’s kingdom. In Luke’s gospel today’s Bible ...read more

Discovering Jesus: The Treaure And The Pearl Series

Jesus' Invitation Free But Costly Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Mar 29, 2007

God’s invitation to the Great Feast (God’s kingdom) is free but it is costly as it demands that we put Jesus above all else.

Only one of the four soils produces. Three of the four soils reject the seed. The problem isn’t with the seed but the soil. It’s the same seed that produces a great crop in the fourth soil that goes away in the first three soils.

Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. There’s something beautiful in the way those on the outside react when they first hear the gospel. One person when he recently began to comprehend the message of Jesus, recently asked me: “Do you mean to tell me that Adolf Hitler could receive ...read more
