Does Jesus Feel that Only the Leaders of the Church are Worthy to Join Him in Heaven Someday?
Well, 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 says: For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God-and righteousness and sanctification and redemption-that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the Lord."
This passage lets me know that the big mega church, TV evangelist, or normal church leaders aren't guaranteed a place in heaven. God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; So Jesus uses the common people of the world to do His will and to share His word and the message of salvation. It doesn't mean that some of the church leaders won't make it to heaven, but they aren't necessarily guaranteed a spot in heaven for their notoriety! It has more to do with our love for Jesus and letting Him direct our lives. It has little to nothing to do with church notoriety!
What Do Our Actions Say When Jesus Calls Us? Sometimes, the lack of action conveys more than we imagine, but there's still time to make changes! Yeah, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for Thee; the Desire of our soul is to Thy name, and to the remembrance of Thee. Isaiah 26:8
