When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, "Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
"Many will come from east and west and recline…in the Kingdom of Heaven" As I read and reread this sentence, I find myself awed at the revelation of the openness and accessibility of the Kingdom. My Lord is declaring that not only is the Kingdom is at hand but that all can enter in. No longer is access limited to His Chosen people, but to every one who chooses to enter in.
