In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus spoke:
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”
The word “teach” means to show or explain to (someone) how to do something. In order to bring forth the Kingdom, we must produce observable fruit to confirm that FATHER is working through us. Jesus confirmed FATHER’S Word with signs following and He practiced what He preached. “For GOD so Loved the world” is the motivation for all that Jesus did and every Word He spoke. He taught the disciples Love and ultimately they grasped it as they went throughout the known world and did the same.
Jesus made it clear that the Law was to be summed up in Love when He spoke in Matthew 22:
37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
If we bring these two passages together we can see that whoever separates himself from Love and teaches others in the same manner will be least in the Kingdom. Whoever walks in Love and teaches others to walk in Love shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Which path are you pursuing? Can this Truth be any simpler? Think about this today!
