to abide the fire get's back to how true believers are refined in a furnace (while those rejecting god by serving him falsely or not believing in him, rejecting love essentially, go down to destruction) to be purified as gold. the quote "the tax collector's and prostitutes (these are spiritual terms as much as they are literal, tax collectors meaning those who try really hard to serve god only to find that serving him is easy, and prostitutes those who have turned away from god because of how hateful his false servants are, though they link to the literal as well) are entering the kingdom of heaven (happiness) before you" this implies that the kingdom of heaven is on earth. the disciples were waiting for jesus to enter a physical kingdom, and did not realize he entered the kingdom of heaven when he received the holy spirit.

this all gets back to "the last shall be first and the first shall be last" which is kind of complicated to understand, but basically means that those who serve god in hypocrisy will initially look to be correct and have the good life (similar to how absolom believed that god was on his side because he was good looking and healthy) but in the end those who have been driven away from god because of this hypocrisy shall achieve true happiness. this is why the pharisees were so confident in condemning jesus, because they did not understand the mosaic law spiritually and viewed jesus as a terrible blasphemer, but did not realize that he was suffering under the same human nature as they did, and yet never intentionally harmed another unjustifiably (this is why little is known of jesus life, because unless you knew him, you can't really understand how this is possible especially if you don't understand the true nature of right and wrong, something decidedly separate from the physical understanding of the mosaic law. jesus said "it is not that which goes into a man that makes him unclean but that which comes out" which has given us the freedom to eat bacon:) (though 100% honestly this was never wrong for the jews, but only wrong if they believed it to be) this also gets into the complex nature of sin which is difficult to understand until the holy spirit has been recieved (though as you get closer to that point it becomes easier to percieve)

therefore if jesus had ever eaten pork (as he was not born self aware, but laid down glory and had to grow in wisdom) he would have considered himself to be a sinner, along with a host of other things that many people consider to be sin but are not (though i guarantee you he didn't sleep with anyone) therefore in the pharisees eyes he was easy to condemn, as jesus would not have been ashamed to admit what he had done in his life.
