Luke 7:28-30 Part 1 of 2

"I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!" When they heard this, all the people--even the tax collectors--agreed that God's way was right, for they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and experts in religious law rejected God's plan for them, for they had refused John's baptism.

"Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!"

Matthew 3:1-2  In those days John the baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near." 

Matthew 4:17  From then on Jesus began to preach, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."

Matthew 5:3  "God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs."

Matthew 5:10  "God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs."

Matthew 6:10  "May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."

Matthew 7:21  "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter."

Matthew 19:14  But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children."

Luke 17:20-21  One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, "When will the Kingdom of God come?" Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God can't be detected by visible signs. You won't be able to say, 'Here it is!' or 'It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is already among you."

John 3:3  Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God."

John 3:5  Jesus replied, "I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit."
