Preaching with a purpose

When Jesus speaks of the kingdom of heaven, he always points out that there are two possible destinations, inside the kingdom or outside the kingdom. Outside is the darkness and weeping and gnashing of teeth, inside is the wedding feast. We have to go the way of Jesus to get in. We have to follow him and accept his salvation which he holds out to all who will trust in him. Only Jesus can decide who goes in to the feast and who is left outside. Ask him to make you fit for the kingdom, now.

As a young person in any part of the world your life may be a big struggle right now. In the third world your struggle may be to find enough food and drink. Do not despair, Jesus says that it is hard for the rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven. That means you have a distinct advantage over all the rich people in the world, it is easier for you to enter God's kingdom. Rejoice and look for Jesus, he is near you. So you rich young man in the States or Europe, you too have a struggle on your hands. It is not easy for you to find Jesus in your life because you are too busy chasing after more riches. Or you may have already dropped off the ladder to riches and find you cannot keep up. If you are getting poorer this could be a big blessing to you, it will be easier for you to find Jesus.
