Kingdom Life

Consumer products have some of the most obvious warnings on them: On a batman costume: “Warning: Cape does not enable user to fly,” on a cardboard sun shield for a car: “Do not drive with sun shield in place,” and on a portable stroller: “Caution: Remove infant before folding for storage.” Who wouldn’t know that you shouldn’t do those things? Interestingly enough, those warnings a bit like the conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount. God himself became man in Jesus Christ and told humanity what to do. Who wouldn’t know that we should listen to him? Matthew 7:13-29 contains 3 summary statements about why it’s so obvious we should follow Jesus for true life.
