Kingdom Entrance (2) (Matthew 21:23-32)
/How does one enter the Lord's kingdom? This is a very important question. We can fall into an American trap and assume that we are worthy because we have done enough to pull ourselves up by our boot straps. This is contrary to what Christ is teaching in his parable. He is teaching us something about the tragedy of Israel’s history that communicates a tragedy about humanity: we do not want God. However, God comes to His people. How does this give us assurance that we can draw near to our God?
