Do they belong to the kingdom of Christ? Are they sons of the devil? Tell us who you believe the sons of the Kingdom are?
Jesus told us this -
Matthew 13:38
The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.
The reason I ask is because we find the following words of Jesus -
Matthew 8
11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Whoever you believe the sons of the Kingdom are, Jesus told us there are sons of the Kingdom who will be cast out into outer darkness. Why are these 'good seeds' cast out of the Kingdom into outer darkness?
We also find no one can enter the Kingdom unless they are converted and born again. Why are these converted, born again sons of the Kingdom cast out into outer darkness?
Jesus said this in Matthew 13 -
41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Here again we see some are gathered OUT OF His Kingdom. The reason? Things that offend and THOSE WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.
This is speaking of those who are IN HIS Kingdom, for no one can be cast out of His Kingdom unless they have first entered. It is when these workers of lawlessness are cast out that the righteous will shine forth as the sun in His Kingdom.
Jesus then told us, 'he who has ears to hear, let him hear'!
