Great reference John Michael,
Thanks for sharing. We need to read and re-read this whole article.

You have the mustard seed.
It’s something that is very small and GROWS into something very strong.
1Cor. 1:26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.
The nobodies - the nothings - the mustard seeds. That’s what God calls us. But they grow.
Christ is the King who is gone into a far nation. To do what? What does the parable say, what is He going to get there? A kingdom!
Where is Christ now? He is in heaven. But what is He doing on the earth? He’s getting Himself a kingdom. It started with the Apostles - the few. He said to ‘you’ it’s given to understand, you are the few. But to ‘them’ - the many, it is not given, but to the few. Many called - a lot of seeds scattered around, but only some seeds fall on the good ground, the few.
If you cast the net into the sea and you pull in all these fish. But you throw a lot of them away, because only a few are the good ones that you save. That’s what the parable are all about... all of them. God CHOOSING out the few for His kingdom. The kingdom of God is like this, it’s like that, it’s like, it’s like… it’s like US and what God is doing through us.
Rev 5:10 And You made US kings and priests to our God, and WE will reign over the earth.
WE are the kingdom! You are going to have to do a little rethinking in your minds here maybe. We are the kingdom.

There will be no time for boredomness in the ages to come when finally the "bridegroom has come" and (Unveilling 22:20) "He Who is testifying these things is saying, 'Yea, I am coming swiftly.'" "Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!"21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints! Amen! Our Father God is Infinite; we will forever be learninng and appreaciating the Love of God towards us. When I listen to Ray explaining how the universe is expanding at ultrasonic velocity, some times I can't stop pondering how God's spiritual Kingdom wil still be growing without end. It makes me so much eager to be there and say "Come Lord Jesus".
God Bless His elect and called.Amen.
