The One Who Receives the Greatest Grace May Be the Most in Danger “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 tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum , will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades . The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and the one who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me” (Luke 10:13–16). (1) Today, I would like to meditate on the lesson given through Luke 10:13–16 , together with its parallel passage, Matthew 11:20–24: (a) First, Jesus rebuked the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent (Mt. 11:20)...
Return & Repeat I must not RETURN to my sinful lifestyle and REPEAT my folly (Proverbs 26:11). But even when I RETURN and REPEAT my folly, God sends his servants to me "again and again"(Jeremiah 25:4) and speaks to me repeatedly to turn from my evil ways and my evil practices (v.5). Isn't this God's grace? 나는 죄악된 습관으로 다시 돌아가면 안됩니다 . 나는 미련한 것을 또 다시 행해서는 아니됩니다 ( 잠언 26:11). 그러나 내가 다시 나의 미련한 것으로 돌아가 또 다시 그 미련한 것를 행할때에라도 하나님께서 그의 종들을 나에게 " 끊임없이 "( 부지런히 ) 보내시사 나의 악한 길과 악행을 버리고 돌아오라 고 거듭 말씀하고 계십니다 ( 예레미야 25:4-5). 이것이 하나님의 은혜가 아니고 무엇이겠습니까 .
