LUKE 12:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?”
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom — the tenderness of the address (little flock echoing the shepherd-and-sheep imagery of Ezekiel 34 and John 10) places the kingdom-gift in the context of the Father's pleasure. The kingdom is not earned or achieved but given, and the smallness of the flock is not a problem to be remedied by growth strategy but a fact to be embraced with trust.
