What is the kingdom of God like? (Luke 13:20)

It’s like a small garden that is being cultivated and taken care of by a gardener (John 15:1). Little children ran into the garden, sat on it, and asked the gardener to tell them a story (Matthew 19:14).

The gardener agreed and asked them the type of story they would love to hear and they all responded and screamed out loud, “papa please tell us the story we want to hear” but the gardener replied them and said “no children, I will tell you the story you need to hear instead” (Matthew 6:8 ).

He began, but after some time, some of the children who found the story boring and some other who found the story frightening, began to leave one after the other. Some other even not in their own will ran after their friends, leaving just few children behind (John 6:66, 67).

After telling the few children left the story, the gardener suspected the children will be hungry and asked them what they would like to eat (Matthew 5:6). The children responded and said “papa please give us the food we need” and the gardener said “no children, I will not only give you the food you need, but will give you any kind of food you want and of your choice also” (Matthew 6:33).

And the gardener opened a small gate close to the garden (Matthew 7:14) and inside was diverse kinds of food from his harvest of his garden and arranged in barns and the few children left were amazed by the wealth of the gardener.

He took them into his mansion (John 14:2) and in it was a large dinning table with already prepared delicacies of diverse kind, with his family members surrounding the table (Matthew 8:11). The gardener said to the children “eat my children (Romans 8:14), for these I have prepared for you since the very first day I started cultivating my garden (Genesis 1:1; 2 Timothy 2:19), for you must have what you need first, before you get what you want (Matthew 6:33).

The small gate was shut and the few willing children became the adopted children of gardener forever (Revelation 21:3).

yeah, a good attempt. Just as the children who got tired of the gardener's story and left, but the few patient ones who wasn't tired inherited all things which the others would have got also.

Like they say, patients is a virtue and opens closed doors (Matthew 6:33).

Dis guy dat posted before the guy above me...... Hmmmmmm.
Remember that it takes a christian swearing to comment on an Islamic post, so whatever you have in your mind, vent it before posting it here.

Jesus is the only way the truth and the life.. In him is LIFE and that Life is the LIGHT of men.. The number one business d God is to get people saved so they won't walk in darkness in earth and live eternally in darkness after this earth. I admonish everyone to get involved and even more involved in the business of our father.. Lead people to the truth if they are the type that want to argue and start proving rocket science leave them alone, Move on to someone else.. We are called to preach the gospel not to argue. Arguments and bitter quarrels that will lead to anger don't change the fact that Jesus is Lord. I urge all brethren today to stand for our lord Jesus even in this time that everyone wants to believe things that will benefit them.. God bless you all

I go to prepare a place for you. In my father's house are many mansion. I won't have told you if it were not so.

He said if it were not so I won't have told you.

Believe in God and believe also in him.

D message is clear.matt 6:31-33 summarizes it all.

God please help me to be serve you faithfully during my stay here on earth , so that I will be a partaker of the eternal feast in heaven. Amen

This parable teaches me that we should learn to live by faith & not by sight. Things seen are not real & temporal but the ones not seen are not only real but eternal! God wants us to learn to look beyond the material world & see who we truly are in Him. Because in Him lies true happiness, and that happiness can only be discovered by following the real Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son.

Concise and incisive. God bless u for this piece.

I really love this. You got full understanding of the story and have taught beyond the scope. I have learnt that which I never knew was hidden in the parable.

Thank you and blessed be the name of the Lord for your great understanding and may His name be praise (Psalm 72:19; Matthew 5:16).

seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto u.

F22RAPTOR:
