Jesus Leads Us to His Everlasting Kingdom ㅡ

 “But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness to him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

 (1 Corinthians 2:14)

 There are many who find satisfaction in identifying themselves with false doctrines, that there may be no disturbance or difference between themselves and the world; but the children of God must bear testimony to the truth, not only by pen and voice but by spirit and character.

Our Saviour declares that the world cannot receive the spirit of truth.

They cannot discern the truth, for they discern not Christ, the Author of truth.

Lukewarm disciples, coldhearted professors, who are not imbued with the Spirit of Christ, are not able to discern the preciousness of His righteousness; but they go about to establish their own righteousness.

The world seeks the things of the world—business, worldly honor, display, selfish gratification.

Christ seeks to break this spell which holds men away from Him.

He seeks to call men’s attention to the world to come, that Satan has managed to eclipse by his own shadow.

Christ brings the eternal world within the range of men’s vision, He presents its attractions before them, tells them that He will prepare mansions for them, and will come again and receive them unto Himself.

 (Faith and Works 91, 92)
