29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last (Luke 13:29-30).
In these verses, Christ is telling the Disciples (although they didn’t realize it at the time) that the Gospel would be spread to all peoples. The good news of the Gospel is that it is for people from every nation. This would have been a huge shift in thinking for the followers of Christ. They were expecting the Messiah to be a conqueror for Israel. Instead, Christ is the Savior of Mankind. The kingdom of God will then be composed of peoples from every race and nation, to the glory of God.
