       Another way we could read this text from Jesus is to perhaps paraphrase, “Many you think won’t be Heaven will be, and many you think will be there won’t be.” Now it’s getting ever scarier. This is pride in it’s full manifestation, its top-level power. It is the pride of the Scribes and Pharisees during Jesus’ time. Who displays this kind of pride during our time? I have thought about this from time to time as I have know several evangelical leaders on a first-hand basis. These are people that no one would question their faith—no one would even give it a second thought about their right standing with God. But, for one or two I have known personally, I have grown to question whether they really are in right standing with God. Something just doesn’t seem right. Something is amiss. All is not surrendered. Now, there’s no way for me obviously to know for certain, but just be mindful that the appearances of the greatest aren’t always what they seem.
