"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. "The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me." Luke 10:13-16 (ESV) We like to focus on Bible passages that make us feel good. This one does not make me feel good. Those who reject the message of God will pay a great price. The "rejecters" will suffer in this life as confusion reigns, people use people, love things, and live in a way that ultimately harms everything in which they are involved. Those who choose to live Godless lives need to be warned. If they want to ignore the warning, they will have no hope. For now, the choice is theirs. |
