What reading level is The Kingdom of God book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^ Matt. Ix. 15.
230 THE DEATH OF JESUS AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE. 231 rationale. From the view-point of an elaborate theology the instruction He communicated may appear very meagre, consisting at most of four lessons conveyed in very brief sayings. But instead of indulging in idle regrets that more was not spoken or recorded on so vitally important a topic, let us endeavour to penetrate into the meaning of the few precious words which embody our Lord's doctrine of the cross.
The first lesson Jesus t...aught His disciples in this abstruse doctrine was, that His death was the natural effect of fidelity to righteousness in an unrighteous world. Such is the import of the words He spoke to Peter in rebuke of his counsel of self-preservation : " Thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. " ^ It is implied that the divine interest and the individual human interest are to a certain extent incompatible, so that a choice must be made between them, and that the path of duty, in all cases of collision, is to sacrifice the personal interest to the divine.
