What Does "Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God" Mean? Matthew 6:31-34 | Sermon on the Mount Pt 29 | Straight Bible

STRAIGHT BIBLE SATURDAY on Nephilim Death Squad.

What does "seek ye first the kingdom of God" mean? In Matthew 6:31-34 (KJV), Jesus answers our worry about food, drink and clothing with one command: but seek. Don't worry about tomorrow. Everything else is just luggage for a pilgrim and a stranger.

Sermon on the Mount Pt 29, hosted by Matttttt Hepner and TopLobsta, finishing Matthew 6.

They pick up at 2 Timothy 1:9 and the love of money (1 Timothy 6:7-10), then Jesus' easy yoke (Matthew 11:28-30). Matthew 6:33 is the answer to anxiety: why God hides himself (Isaiah 45:15), why it is the glory of God to conceal a thing (Proverbs 25:2), and why he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). Then Simeon and Anna (Luke 2), take no thought for the morrow (Matthew 6:34), "is not the life more?", life as a vapour (James 4:14), pilgrims and strangers (1 Peter 2:11, Hebrews 11:13-16) and "teach us to number our days" (Psalm 90:12). Next week the series moves into Matthew 7.

What's the luggage you've been carrying instead of seeking first? Tell us.
