The Upside-Down Kingdom

  • Who will inherit the kingdom of heaven?
    • Children, and those who have humble hearts like them.
  • “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
    • We want to do something! Only humility can let go of everything to take what God has done.
  • “What shall we have?”
    • Everything at last, by letting go of everything else. “So the last shall be first, and the first shall be last.”
