I’ve decided to start titling my posts with an actual title. It’s more fun, and they’re all dated if I need to look back. OK, so Matthew 11…
This passage talks about different cites, and speaks of their unrepentance. Jesus came into these cities, preformed miricles, spoke, taught, and healed. And still, these cities are not repenting. When I first read this, I saw more cities I didn’t know, and started to skim over it. But there’s a powerful meaning here.
Jesus taught in these cities, and yet they didn’t turn from thier evil ways. Because of that, they’re going to hell. Plain and simple. It’s going to be the same with people. People that hear the good news of Jesus but still don’t choose to repent are going to hell. Plain and simple. Repetition is used for emphasis.
That’s bad. We don’t want people to go to hell, remember. That’s a bad thing.
We’ve discussed that we need to be out cutting grain, and that it’s going to be very hard to do. But we’ve forgot an important part of the equation. It’s not enough to just cut the grain and put it in the bag. There’s lots more to the process. We’ve got to bring it back to the building, and get it ready to sell. “I’m being metaphorical, Bob” (Anybody who tells me what movie that’s from gets a Ham Sandwich). Stay with me.
If people are told the good news but don’t repent, they’re going to Hell. So we’ve got to not only tell the people… but make sure they repent. We have to go all the way… or else they “will be brought down to Hades.” Yes, it’s rough. The last 2 posts have been the same way. But… it’s true. We’ve got to tell the people, or they’ll end up just like the mentioned cities.
