Stubbornness #2  Truth Exposed:

Who was the Kingdom of heaven prepared for? It certainly wasn't the Gentiles; It was to be only for the Israelites, no one else.  When God called Israel his “chosen people,” that is exactly what he meant!  This was to be an exclusive club, no one outside Israel could afford the membership dues.  Oh my .......  Matthew 8:12 :  "But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."  In Matthew 15:24 Jesus says he was sent to the lost sheep of Israel and in Matthew 10:6, he is instructing the disciples to only go to Israel. 

 Only because of their stubbornness and hard hearts was the Kingdom opened to Gentiles!!  Seems like the sin of stubbornness was of immense benefit to the Gentiles.  Where would we be if Israel HAD received Jesus???????
