Mat
24:14 KJV And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
The
gospel of the kingdom is more than the gospel of grace or the gospel of
repentance. We may understand it only as much as what our words or
thoughts can say about it. But it is beyond what we know. Many of us
think that we know everything. But when we are there, we could be too
shocked to know that we know nothing:
Mar 1:15 KJV And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mar 4:11-14 KJV And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God:
but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
(12) That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may
hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and
their sins should be forgiven them. (13) And he said unto
them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
(14) The sower soweth the word ..
Luk 13:18-21 KJV Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God
like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? (19) It is like a grain of
mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew,
and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches
of it. (20) And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of
God? (21) It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Mat 18:23-24 KJV Therefore is the kingdom of heaven
likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
(24) And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which
owed him ten thousand talents .. (32) Then his lord, after that he had
called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all
that debt, because thou desiredst me: (33) Shouldest not thou also
have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
(34) And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till
he should pay all that was due unto him.
Mat 20:1 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard ..
Mat 22:2-14 KJV The kingdom of heaven
is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, ..
(11) And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man
which had not on a wedding garment: (12) And he saith unto him,
Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he
was speechless .. (14) For many are called, but few are chosen.
Mat 25:1 KJV Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom ..
Mat 25:14-15 KJV For the kingdom of heaven
is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants,
and delivered unto them his goods. (15) And unto one he gave five
talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to
his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
After
reading all the above, do we know more about the gospel of the kingdom
that Jesus preached? We may not know everything, but at least we know
something very certain: The gospel of the kingdom is always revealed
with the judgement of God at the end of it. However, it is unthinkable
how some preachers deliberately hide or avoid preaching of God's
judgement in their so-called gospel under the 'radical grace' or 'hyper
grace'. I will ask them, If you don't allow God to have the 'final say',
how can you say that it is His gospel? No, it is your gospel.
