THE DWELLERS OF THE KINGDOM

They dwell in their own countries simply as sojourners ... They are in the flesh, but they do not live after the flesh. They pass their days on earth, but they are citizens of heaven. They obey the prescribed laws, and at the same time, they surpass the laws by their lives. They love all men but are persecuted by all. They are unknown and condemned. They are put to death, but [will be] restored to life. They are poor, yet they made many rich. They possess few things; yet, they abound in all. They are dishonored, but in their very dishonor are glorified ... And those who hate them are unable to give any reason for their hatred.' 

When Yeshua lived on this earth, he came teaching about the Kingdom--the Kingdom of God. It is costly to follow Yeshua without hiding behind any man made religion. There is risk everywhere. Yes, but who said it would be easy to enter the Kingdom which is eternal life with God.
