I have discovered that in the Kingdom of God; life is full of paradoxes, they are mysteries we must seek to understand. To the natural man they are foolishness because these things are spiritually discerned.
Some of them I found include:
1. If any man desires to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. (Mk 9:35)
2. So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. (Mat. 20:16)
3. Give and will come back to you.... (Luk. 6:38)
4. There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. (Pro. 11:24)
5. Unless you are converted,and become as little children,you will by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Mat. 18:3)
6. Cast your bread upon waters, and after many days you will find it. (Ecc. 11:1)
7. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. (Luk. 17:33)
8. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live.... (Gal. 2:20)
9. ...I die daily.... (1 Cor. 15:31)
10. ...living sacrifice. (Rom. 12:1)
There
are many more. Lets seek to know these truth and experience true
freedom. (John8:32), so we wouldn't have to struggle over any issue in
life.
