Matthew 11:11 NIRV "What I'm about to tell you is true. No one more important than John the Baptist has ever been born.

They asked him, "Who is the most important person in the kingdom of heaven?" 2 Jesus called a little child over to him. He had the child stand among them. 3 Jesus said, "What I'm about to tell you is true. You need to change and become like little children. If you don't, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Anyone who becomes as free of pride as this child is the most important in the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 19:30 NLTBut many who seem to be important now will be the least important then, and those who are considered least here will be the greatest then.


What did Jesus mean when he said the kingdom of heaven is advancing and forceful men take it by force?

Acording to Scripture we enter the Kingdom of Heaven through Baptism.

We also know that Pharisees who were referred to by John as a "brood of vipers" came also and it seems that no one was turned away.
