If Jesus walked the earth today, would He attend our Church?
JESUS said in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
Concerning the Kingdom, we know from the Bible that Abba Father “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth” (1 Timothy 2:4).
Mainstream Christianity speaks continuously about Jesus Christ. Yet it never seems to emphasize what He really said. For Christ constantly spoke of the Kingdom of God to His followers. In parables, He compared this spiritual Kingdom to earthly, material things so they could begin to grasp its significance.
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.
Jesus’ clear point is that the Kingdom of God is so precious that it is worth sacrificing everything else to enter it.
The question we need to ask is, “If Jesus walked the earth today, would Jesus attend our Church?”
He wants us to give up our selfish control and dominion over every thought and action. Will He attend our church meetings where people filling the seats have the same desires, the same envy, the same greed, the same selfish priorities as secular society?
Would Jesus be looking for a Church where people are striving to submit to God’s dominion in their daily lives and seeking HIS Kingdom and righteousness?
We sing praises to Him, but does He have real influence in our daily choices? Where Jesus is seen as Savior, but not Master? Where God’s dominion and laws are replaced with the acceptance that every person determines right and wrong for his or her own life?
However, a supremely clever but perverted spirit being has side tracked humanity into believing all kinds of philosophies and religion, teaching a witches brew of false gospels of every type.
“And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world — he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him” Revelation 12:9.
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience” Ephesians 2:1.
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds” Corinthians 11:13-15.
Matthew 15:8-9 (NKJV)
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
