Insights
  • The kingdom must be acquired justly, it cannot be stolen.
    If the kingdom could hypothetically be stolen, it would no longer be the kingdom, for the kingdom operates on righteousness, justice, truth and love.
  • You must seek the kingdom! This takes into account our free will, (we only seek what we desire). If we do not desire the kingdom it will not come to us.
  • So is the kingdom, that every man needs to be instructed in the wisdom and knowledge of the treasures, (the various gifts), from both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
  • In both above parables, it says that the kingdom will cost you everything, but the kingdom is all we need.
