The Way to Follow Jesus According to the Gospel of Lukeනියැදිය

Day 16 - Luke 18
The Opposite Kingdom
The kingdom of God is filled with examples of how opposite it is from our world.
We want things done instantly but Jesus reveals that it takes patience and perseverance. So, when you pray, if you don't get the immediate answer, you give up and accuse God of not paying attention. Jesus says to keep praying and never give up. God is just and He does answer the prayers of those who cry out to Him and trust Him.
We are tempted to think that our good behavior earns us righteousness and favor with God and we look down on those whom we judge as sinners. But Jesus commends the sorrowful sinner who humbles himself and asks for God’s forgiveness and mercy.
We think our sophistication and self-sufficiency is a mark of maturity and success. But Jesus says it is the innocence and naivity of a child that gains us access to the kingdom. We think riches equal status and happiness. Jesus says it hinders us.
We often choose to hear and believe only what makes sense to us about Jesus. But we overlook the truth, that in spite of being undeserving, the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus releases God’s mercy and love upon us.
Even with that we have a hard time understanding the difference between God’s ways and ours.
Are you willing to accept the ways of God and live according to the kingdom principles or are you imitating and embracing the ways of the world?
