The book of Luke

Chapter 13

Luke13:1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 13:2 Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things? 13:3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

Pilate was a notorious Roman ruler over Israel, who at this point in history Israel under the Roman empire, he allowed the beheading of John the baptist by Herod, and later had part in partial in the murder of Christ Jesus.

But Christ shocks his listener with a blunt questions: “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered such things?”

In other words, because the State, the Roman Ruler over Israel executed these wicked men are they worst than other Galileans? This thinking is the thinking of the fleshly minded legal Christian's, and/or the Jews of Christ Jesus time. If the State/Government as a god kills someone for a conviction against laws of the people, that is, the State, or the king of the country are they most evil of the evilest of people? Their conduct has become public, and a person can openly say whatever evil about the person, and it does not matter one wit because it is justified or condone by their conviction of the State/Government.

Titus 3:1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
3:2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
3:3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

The issue Jesus drives at here is much more profound, and what is that? It is simple. All humans are convicted by the Great God of righteousness YHWH as sinner, and the penalty for such sinning is death, even if they've never broke man's laws and even if they are King of Israel, or the high priest! Here Christ takes the legal mind out of self-righteousness into the reality of truth. The truth is, if one does not repent of their sins they are not one inch better than any other of mankind even the worst sinner. In fact, the worst sinner outlawed by the State/Government can be more righteous than the world greatest man, how? Simply by accepting the blood God provided to cover their sins, in this case animal blood under the Jewish system of things, and later the blood of Christ Jesus, under the spiritual Israel as Christ Jesus as the King of Eternity.

Luke13:4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem? 13:5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."

Many Christian's like to believe when someone does something against them that God will somehow punishes those causing them harm. This presumptuousness is touted too others as though they are somehow more righteous than others, so God must uphold their righteousness in destroying anyone not agreeing with them, have you ever meant someone like that?

Here Jesus was dealing with just such a case, somehow the words was out, those whom the tower of Siloam fell upon, and killed was God's judgment upon them! The question each of us must ask in reading Christ Jesus words is, who is good? Jesus stated the truth, for he was the truth; “One, and only one God!”, No! Not even Christ puts himself into the seat of God's judgment saying he was good.” But presumptuous weed Christian's certain do in saying how God punishes ones for them because they are a good Christian's. No! The only one that God calls good is Christ Jesus after he proved his faithful unto death in much suffering for us.

Luke 18:19 Jesus asked him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one--God.

There is only one righteousness that God now authorizes, and calls good, not the law anymore, or the law of the land, it is the life of His own Son Christ Jesus, having the Royal law. For a person to be righteous they must receive God's righteousness in a gift of His love, called undeserved kindness. So if it is by undeserved kindness how can a Christian's think they are good enough for God to destroy their enemies?

We are under Christ Jesus righteousness, thankfully, not fooled into thinking man's conviction or laws could make Christ Jesus unrighteous, No! Those laws of sin murder Christ Jesus, and many of Christ Jesus disciples. Those killing them sinned against righteous blood, not the person, but the gift of righteousness given each of them by Christ Jesus life, not their own. They had all been made part of the tree of righteousness, Christ Jesus, his imperishable life sealed into them by God's Holy Spirit.

So God could rightly uphold His Son's righteousness at anytime if He so chooses, but so often, as His Son requested from His Father was: “God forgives those sinning against the Son of man.” Those indwell by Holy Spirit as son's of God prove we are under unmerited kindness, by becoming perfect as our heaven Father is perfect in forgiveness, not killing our enemies.

Matt.5:44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
5:45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same?
5:47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Luke13:6 He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none. 13:7 He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
13:8 He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it. 13:9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"

Jesus uses a farming parable for a farming community to make a shocking profound statement too those Jews whom believed their entire society was of God, so God would uphold it forever. Sadly, the very history of Jew's faith should have taught them differently that God does not condone evil, what he does do, is allow each of us time for repentance giving us the innocent blood of a victim for remission of our sins against Him.

Weed Christian's need to take heed here in Christ Jesus parable because they are planted in unauthorized soil, they are taken up good soil, and not producing the fruit of the Holy Spirit as are God's planting of wheat Christian's do. The law was too produce repentance, and expectation for the Son of God, God's messiah coming that would take away the sins of the world, but instead the Jews became self-righteous producing no good fruit like the fig tree in Christ parable.

The soil they had been planted in was good soil of God's planting, but they refused the mercy of God, Christ Jesus, their hearts were not prepared, they were full of works of flesh, hating and judging each other unrighteously by laws they themselves could not keep without God's mercy, by the blood atoning their sins against God's law. They were lawless, without God's provided innocent blood, they became no better than a practicer of sin, like the nations the Jew's hated for their not having the law, making those nation unclean to the Jew's. Yes, they have missed the point of the whole law, they were unclean without the blood of animals, the law did not make them clean it was the blood.

Hebrews 9:7 but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

Hebrews 9:22 According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

So too weed Christian's will find the truth when the tree is cut down for taking up the soil that their powerful works did not make them clean it was indeed the humble blood of the pass-over lamb that makes the temple of God clean, the body of Christ, and not good works of obeying commandment's!

Matt.7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' 7:23 Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.' (without the law of Christ Jesus, hence, lawless.)

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Luke 13:10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day. 13:11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up. 13:12 When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity." 13:13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God. 13:14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!" 13:15 Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?
13:16 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?" 13:17 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Here we see the perfect picture of legal-minded Jew's Vs. the Love of Christ Jesus. People so bound with the righteousness of the law they could not understand simple mercy any longer! Yes, today we have legal minded Christian's, weeds, that believe obeying the commandment's gives them the right to hate others people not, in their religion, and/or outside of their religion.

How wrong do they have it? So wrong that they like the adversaries of Christ above hating any kindness towards others that does not meet their version of the bible teachings. What rights did a Jew have that was not given too them by the innocent blood of animal victims, none! If God judged like they did, they were all convicted of deserved death for not keeping the law. How had they convinced themselves they could keep a law that a sinner could not? By teaching it, and keeping some points of the law. Yes, they honestly believed they were righteous by good works towards the law, can you imagine their shock when Jesus seemingly violated their Sabbath day rest!

Can a weed Christians keep the law any better, no! But they tick themselves by lying saying they can keep the law of Christ Jesus, love! But they can't any more so than a Jew could keep the Law of Moses, both need what? Blood of an innocent victim. So when you here a Christian boast of keeping the commandment's of Christ Jesus they wittingly or unwittingly living by earning merit in keeping some points of the law of love, but the blood of Christ proves they are a liar.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Only one kept the law of God, and the law of love, Christ Jesus, the rest of us must make a request of God for a clean conscience, but we can never put away the filth of our flesh by our good efforts. If its is by unmerited kindness of God it cannot be of our good works, if it is by undeserved kindness neither can their be a law put upon it preventing us from a good act towards our neighbor out of God's love.

Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,{or, faithfulness} 5:23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is “no law”.

Luke 13:18 He said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it? 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."

Christ Jesus is not giving a compliment here, he is rather speaking the truth of the apostasy taking over the planting of God's field of wheat, how can we says this. Simply put, God did not plant a muster seed as his Son's kingdom, God had planted thousand's of years before Christ came to earth the big tree of righteousness by Abraham's faith in God, which grew into the nation of Israel.

Rom.11:16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches. 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree; 11:18 don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you. 11:19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." 11:20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear; 11:21 for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

This tree was a fruit tree, producing fruits of life, the seed of many branches the spiritual Israel would be graft into by God's own hands and not the by teachings of weed-Christ because they used God's word the bible. The muster plant has many purposes, but it does not produce the fruit of God's Holy Spirit. God Kingdom would be established in heaven unshakeable not by mankind's workings upon earth, it was a everlasting Kingdom with an eternal incorruptible King, Christ Jesus.

Here the muster tree which had birds roosting on its branches, not God's holy angels put under the kingship of Christ Jesus? Christ Jesus is speaking to a makeshift kingdom corrupted away from the truth of his Kingdom, not his Kingdom in which the apostles were foundation stones of, made righteous by righteous blood of the lamb of God. Here we find the truth, what is planted grows into its own kind, it cannot be changed by lying words.

Mark 4:31 It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth,

A muster seed grow into a muster tree, it does not grow into a fruit tree. Christ speak of deception by words of so called truth, he has already spoken about the tree being cut down of Israel above, now he speak of a false kingdom that would be planted by weed Christian's growing into a muster plant. A large tree from such a small deception of twisted truth, yes, a little seed, a little yeast fermenting the whole kingdom of God, by teachings of self-righteous people denying the righteous blood of Christ Jesus for self-rightness earned merit through rule of laws of their religious muster tree!

Heb.12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, 12:23 to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect.

Luke 13:20 Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? 13:21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of flour, until it was all leavened."

Yeast, not the unleavened bread of life Christ Jesus, which yeast corrupts this false Kingdom in the name of Christ Jesus. Yes, a corrupt kingdom imitating the righteousness of Christ Jesus, boasting of being the light of this worlds darkness, but why light? Light of God comes through His righteousness, who is God's righteousness for us today upon earth? The one person replacing God's deserved judgment of us, Christ Jesus.

1Cor.1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Yes, Christ meant the law on all points completing it by his own personal righteousness, Christ need not God's righteousness imputed too him, he was righteous, the sinless lamb of God. Thus, he alone completed God's righteousness of the Old law, replacing it with his own righteousness, Christ Jesus is the light of the world for us.

John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

Christ Jesus is truth and Spirit for us, he is pure waters of God for us, and the unleavened bread coming down from above for us. Christ Jesus does not grow out of the earth like a muster seed. He is not a mixture of yeast and unleavened bread, he is not a polluted well issuing forth both good and bitter waters from the same source, he is rather life, imperishable life, by his light of righteousness. However, this false weed kingdom was not formed from heaven, but the earth formed by human hands, polluted with yeast, lyingly calling itself Christ righteous, when in fact, the muster tree had no good fruit upon its branches by Holy Spirit.

Daniel 2:34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

Daniel 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

This kingdom was corrupted kingdom threw and threw, it was lawless, without law of Christ Jesus making it righteous by the life of Christ Jesus in its rootstock, or branches. Yes, Christ is not under the laws of this tree, which are sins laws, Christ is under the Royal Law freed from sin, and so too are those whom God imputes Christ righteousness too freeing them from the judgment of sin.

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}

But not so with this yeast muster tree, it was full of corruption just like all of Satan world is, from government, religion, and commerce, all coming from the same source, what source? the laws of sin, which built Satan worlds, hence, proving it is death by such laws, why? Because all are dying in their sins by the laws that punish the same sin in us. But all are alive in Christ Jesus the big tree of righteousness, of God's planting, not by human hands, but God's own hands. Each branch member is made new on the tree of Christ Jesus by the righteous life flowing through his tree.

Galatians 5:9 A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

Here is the man of lawlessness growing into a large tree of muster planted by weed-Christian's own hands for self-glory, power, and honor among men, men of the world, and men of the same religion, a massive tree whom sins have entered into the very heavens, without the life of Christ, which could have cleansed them from all unrighteousness. Sins not atone by the law of freedom found in Christ Jesus. No! These weed-Christian's rejected the Royal law of freedom in Christ Jesus, for a mixture of polluted waters, so they can have the approve of man through organized religion, their muster tree will be shaken and burnt in the fire as the coming of the imperishable Kingdom of God, Christ Jesus, the big tree of righteousness returns.

Revelation 18:4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

Revelation 18:5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Luke13:22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem. 13:23 One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them, 13:24 "Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

Here legal minded Jew's, and Christian's that reads Christ words first think of what effort they must brow beat their bodies into by self-will to be one whom are lucky enough to enter into Christ Jesus Kingdom to come. However, only the pride of the fleshly-mind could think they were worthy enough by self-will, self-goodness to earn enough good credit(s) by obeying certain laws in obtaining salvation into the Kingdom of God.

Romans 3:28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

But is this Christ Jesus meaning here? Well, not in context to all of God's word a letter to His children. But why would the the door be narrow and few finding it? Simply put, it take faith in Christ Jesus, and none other, and what does this mean? The whole world lays in the power of Satan, that is, religion, government, and commerce, all being built by laws of sinful human for sight, and not faith!

Ecclesiastes 1:15 That which is crooked can't be made straight; and that which is lacking can't be counted.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Few will have faith enough in none other but God's provision for salvation, Christ Jesus, many would look every where else, but to the unseen, unheard, and unfelt, person, invisible in heaven, Jesus Christ. They would instead be weed-Christian's hoping in salvation through organized religion or some man's government claiming to be God's expression upon earth.

1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

But yet there is more, and what is that? The natural person does not receive the things of God, the things of God have been entrusted not to a sinful man, or men upon earth claiming to speak for God, they have been entrusted to God's own Son Christ Jesus. Moreover, a weed Christian does not change his nature into a new hybrid species of wheat, it not within weeds own power to do so.

It is only those having faith in Christ Jesus as the one seed of God that brings forth many branches into the life of Christ Jesus. Yes, few will find the life of Christ Jesus, the light, why light? Because light pictures Christ Jesus sinless righteousness life, earning us merit that cleansing the branches of the tree of life, Christ Jesus. Those having the faith, the few, are not proud workers of self-earned merit, weeds, they are humble servant given a gift of undeserved kindness of Christ Jesus earned merit as God's love. They have received the faith of Christ Jesus, the life of Christ Jesus, and they rest in Christ goodness as a branch, which is, God's Great Sabbath day of rest for mankind.

John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

Here are the few, not by self, but by God's goodness, they must stay in this faith hard to find upon earth rejected by the world, and those claiming to be of Christ Jesus, no easy task is saying goodby to all for the Kingdom of God.

Luke 13:25 When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' then he will answer and tell you, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'
13:26 Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' 13:27 He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

A worker of iniquity, which is, a person of lawlessness claiming to obey the commandment's of God, how shocking! Could there be a more bitter disappointment upon earth? A life time of service in good works, and earned merit to have the Son of Man state; “he did not know you”! And much more so that you are a working lawlessness, against his Kingdom, while preaching it too others, how could anyone be so misled?

Well, actually it much simpler than one might choose to believe, and what is that? Self-righteousness Vs. Christ Jesus righteousness, these weed Christian's believed with sincerity, and earnestly, like the apostle Paul did before becoming a Christian's (Saul) that he could work hard enough on his flesh to please God, but only to find out that nothing good dwelt in his flesh but death.

Rom. 7:21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present. 7:22 For I delight in God's law after the inward man, 7:23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. 7:24 What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

Weed-Christian's have not found that out, and that is why, they are sticklers for the law, they believe the better they can obey Christ Jesus commandment's the better person they are, or are becoming; earning credits with God climbing a ladder into a better standing or position with God, but that is a lie propagated by false religion, not Christ Jesus the truth.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

The truth is, one is good, God, and now God has called another good, Christ Jesus, man is never good, he is death through sin, all his ways are corrupted to God incorruptible standards of love. Man must be given a incorruptible life to cover their sins, which sins makes them evil to God. It is Christ Jesus earned merit upon earth, which gives us a standing with God, a completely unobtainable gift, which cannot be earned by obeying the commandments of God.

When this gift is given us by God's goodness, and our trusting God in it, we receive the fullness of the body of Christ Jesus, the good blessings of God without a curse, the tree of life. Hence, without the life of Christ Jesus imputed too us, we are lawless, without the Christ, but why?

Genesis 3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

1 Peter 2:23 Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

The laws that govern our flesh which dying by sin, those are laws of sin, not found in Christ Jesus, imperishable life, his life does not have laws of sin. The label of being a Christian's, or any other label for that matter does not give a person a right to the life in Christ Jesus, and this is why they are called “without law” the Christ Jesus, they are instead workers of lawlessness. Such works are being done through sins laws of the human fleshly mind not found in Christ Jesus. Weed Christian's demand by rights by (legal work) a gift that is given freely from love.

Luke13:28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.
13:29 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.

Jesus here speaks too whom? The Israelites, the chosen of God, God's own people, but in particular the Scribes and the Pharisee's, why would they be thrown outside God's own Kingdom? Sadly, fleshly minded weed Christians think YHWH is arbitrary like those Jew's, favoring some while disliking others, their god are themselves, confusing their own legal judgments as God's judgments.

James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow. 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1:19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

But God is not partial in His righteous judgment like a unrighteous tree with many shadows under it branches ever changing from minute to minute as the sunlight crosses the sky. God is light, never changing into darkness, His judgments are always righteous, and just. It is man judgments from self-righteousness that creates darkness, and not light, calling evil good! Subsequently, here is Christ Jesus point, those trusting in themselves, like the Scribes, and Pharisee's thinking the law declared them righteous by good works were lawless, and in a false kingdom, not with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets, they were never a part of, nor would these unrighteous Jews be apart of God's kingdom, because a great chasm existed between the two group, why?

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

God is light, and they were darkness by self-rightness, they judged by God's law, but it did not make them light or the righteousness of God's Kingdom, Christ Jesus is God's righteousness for His Kingdom, why? Because Christ Jesus earned by his own sinless life the right to life, by the meeting the Old Law without sin. Hence, Christ replaced the Old Law judgment for Christian's by God imputing his righteous life too them as a gift unearned.

Romans 5:19 For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

1Cor. 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

But these Jews hated Christ Jesus accounting him as evil, having a demon, as the least of the prophets by their judgment of him through God's laws, they were self-right by their own judgment in meetings their rule of law. However, they would find in standing before the throne of God's own righteousness, Christ Jesus, they could not stand by their great boast in upholding the commandment's, and destroying spiritual lives of others by their judgments, because they trusted in themselves, in their own goodness, and judgment thinking if they used God's laws they were justified in executing those law upon those they had judged sinners.

Shocked and stunned they would weep and gnash their teeth in darkness from their own self-righteous, which proved to be darkness, and not the light when judged to find out that only one righteousness stands before God, and it was not their, or their judgments using God's commandment's, but Christ Jesus, the righteous blood they should have humbly accepted as salvation to put away the filth of their own flesh in not meeting God righteous commandment's!

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Luke13:30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

How can a legally minded Christian's whom is set upon earned merit comprehend Christ Jesus words here? How could a legally minded Jew for that matter understand Christ words here? Well, simply put, they can't it goes against the nature of the natural fleshly minded person to understand God's love.

1Cor. 2:10 But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

1Cor. 2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Their world is a world of earned merit. In other words, everything in the legal minded person world is earned from birth to death including love. Which means, they must earn the first place, but here Christ says not! What he stated is shocking, and sobering words for a fleshly minded person lusting in their fleshly spirit for upward movement into being the top dog on the pile heap.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

All in the fleshly minded person life is being top dog; give him a bone and he will fight for it unless a bigger dog takes it. Give a dog a title of Christian's will not change the dog into a saint. The point, position, and power has nothing to do with the Jew's earned position in their society, nor for a Christian's in Christ Jesus, it has to do with Christ Jesus. It is Christ Jesus righteousness that gives a persons a standing with God, Gentile or Jew. Being the eye in the body is not sought for, worked for, politic for, it is created by God for the body from birth. Soon many listening to Christ Jesus words would become part of his new spiritual body, the temple of God, they would be recreated by God's Holy Spirit, and placed into the body by Christ Jesus righteousness and not their own. So there is no dogie dog world for those living in Christ under the law of love.

God own will and pleasure determines far out the legals minds jurisdiction whom is and are body members fit into his purposes, first, last, or whatever pleases the creator of us.

Luke 13:31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."
13:32 He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission. 13:33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.'

Here the fleshly minded Pharisee's are put into their place before the King of eternity, would any human kill the Son of God before God removed his hand, no! Shocked as these self-righteous Pharisee's must have been in misjudging the Christ, Christ did not run in fear of Herod the man whom killed God's greatest prophet John the Baptist.

These fleshly minded self-righteous Pharisee's had step into the position of god's over the people, but not the Son of God, whom stilled the waters with a mere word, and walked upon water, no! Nothing these little self-righteous men could come up with to move Christ on, stopping his preaching would work until it was God's own time, they were but mere grass of the field, a mist in time table of mankind, but not so with the Son of God, whom orders a king like a mere fool.

Faith is powerful, something the Pharisee's could teach, faith, but could not live, here the King of faith was in their mist, here the person they were unworthy to untie his sandals was speaking words that would endure forever, and the flesh of these weak men thought they could prevent it by scare tactics. How foolish the wickedness of mere man when coming to the table of the Lord. Soon all those hating the truth will find their weeds-minds shocked into reality there is a God of the heavens not taught by their fair-tale false religion, and he will clean up threshing floor of weeds from among His wheat, take heed!

Luke13:34 "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

A word should correct the wise of heart, but a fool never see the pattern of evil among those seating themselves as gods over others, now do they? No they don't because that is the pried of being a leader, that is the arrogance of being in power, to claim yourself as smarter and better than others, how could Jerusalem murder the prophets they were the prophets according to their evaluation of their teachings, correct?

But the Son of God, states that they had killed all God's prophets and soon they would kill him. This is as shocking as telling a religious organization of people meeting at a large convention: “you people are the killer of God's prophets.” How could that be, we are here to honor Christ Jesus with us by are greatest teachers, whom are always doing righteous acts towards others.

What is the point? History, human sin never changes, it repeats itself from generation too generation, as nothing new under the sun when it comes to a heart of sin. Technology changes, new invention, but not the hearts that create them, they always put themselves in the best position the fleshly mind always believes it is God's chosen, the fleshly mind always justifies its evil actions with some good work, and it is always blinded to the truth of God.

Nothing within Christ words could, or would changes those whom put themselves into God's position by their religious teachings, nothing! But Christ Jesus was not looking for such ones to be part of his Kingdom, he was looking for those that would seek the truth, and his righteous, repent from being a sinner, and accept the free gift of God's love, his life, by undeserved kindness. Christ was not looking for those whom think they deserve life by personal goodness, no! They were the killer of all God's prophets no matter what title they had put upon themselves, as God's people!

Luke 18:1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?" 18:2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the midst of them, 18:3 and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
18:4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
18:5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me.

Luke13:35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"{Psalm 118:26}

Isn't Christ words here true of every human being that has ever lived upon earth, until we make the choice to know someone beyond just a thought or a label, of good, or bad, than they are not revealed too us personally as a friend or foe. The Son of God, is God's truth too us, in every facet of his life upon earth and in heaven. Truth does not change, God's truth is eternal, no matter we live a day or forever, truth is unchanging, it is up too us to find it.

Are you a lover of truth, if so, you will come to a greater and greater understanding of it, that is, if you seek it with your whole heart. When you find it, it will be in the person of Christ Jesus, rather you believe in him or not, he is the truth, and if you love truth you will accept him as God's truth too you.

No greater truth can be spoken than what Christ Jesus is as God's truth, it cannot be hid, and all people will come to know of him, for he is the source of all life for us human's. These Jew hating the truth, will have too know the truth, they can justify the killing of Christ Jesus by teachings, but in their heart, they knows the truth, but why? It is simple, evil is evil, and it cannot be justified by God's word.

It is justified by sin, of wicked humans through a legal mind, but when put before the light, the truth, Christ Jesus, it will not stand in the judgment. Simply put, each person is a law onto themselves, their fleshly mind is a king choosing good or evil, but in their spirit they know whom they are, a sinner, they know the evil thoughts they hid from others with their mouth speaking righteousness from God's word.

Soon each person of the Jew's faith would be faced with the truth of their own actions, in killing God's Son, soon judgment of self would come upon them. What they had measured out would be measured back too them, why? Because by their laws could not legally forgive, nor could they leave off from a course of self-destruction because they could not stop their judgment so they lived in fear of judgment.

Each Jew knew the truth of their own spirit, the evil and good, this alone should have humbled them, but instead they put off their hate upon a scape goat the Christ so they could deny the truth of their own hearts, but each would know the truth in their life, each would be faced with their own judgments throughout the rest of their lives, the truth is truth, it is in all of us, no matter how great, small good, or evil, it exist and we know it, but do we ask for forgiveness for such evil or do we put it upon others by our faith?

John 1:17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Such judgments are eternal until we say blessed is Christ Jesus, the one forgiving us our debts, how should we forgive the debts of others than by our own faith? That one thought should speak wisdom of how far we fall short of God's righteousness, and for us too be thankful we are under God's undeserved kindness, in God imputing too us Christ Jesus righteousness as a free gift of His love, how wondrous is the power of love?
