Jesus tells us about the conversion and the difference between the "new man" and the "old man": "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God", Luke 9:62
Scriptures on faith. No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God. Luke 9, 62..jpg
Being fit for service in the kingdom of God means serving the blessedness. The blessedness is all around us, but it is unattainable; the blessedness is hidden but it is radiant; the blessedness is server but it is sovereign; the blessedness is rejected by men but blessed by God. The blessedness is perfect, complete, eternal, progressive, uplifting, fermental, compassionate and just.
Jesus is telling us in Luke 9:62 that the kingdom of God has a meaning, a look, a mind. There are two ways, two views of life, two rewards. To put a hand to the plow and look back means to look what is incomplete: "but when the perfect comes, what is in part disappears", 1 Corinthians 13:10.
To enter and serve the kingdom of God is to pass from a life full of sins to a life of righteousness as the parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us in Luke 10:25-37, we sin like the priest and the levite or we act with rectitude like the good samaritan:
"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by the other side. So too, a levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by the other side. But a samarithan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandage him wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them into the innkeeper. "Look after him" he said, "and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have"
Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?"
