This evening we had a family discuasion about Matthew 5:19
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
It made me stop and think because to me I am just so excited to get into Heaven that any other blessings are a bonus not an enticement for me to follow and obtain. So hearing that in Christ my salvation is secured and my place in Heaven is being prepared for me and I will have a new body, new name and new room I am already ecstatic enough. I do not care or mind if I am least in the Kingdom AT LEAST I WILL BE THERE AND THAT IS A RELIED. Although I would rather keep the commandments out of love than dsmiss them or accidently teach someone else to over or under emphasize some!
Your thoughts?
God bless.
