Repenting

Gen 25, 26; Ps. 6; Luke 10

Scripture: I really feel for such cities and towns especially Chorazin and Bethsaida. They’ve had the opportunity to know who I am because of the many miracles I worked there. If these same miracles had been done in Gentile cities like Tyre and Sidon, those people would have repented long ago and turned to God. In fact, people in Tyre and Sidon have a greater possibility of being saved than those who reject the good news of the kingdom. And many in Capernaum are even worse off. Their pride stands in their way, and they don’t even care whether they’re saved or not. Luke 10: 13-15

Observation: Certain cities and towns had an opportunity to hear the good news and apparently rejected it. Yet the gentiles were more receptive to Gods’ words. The Gentiles were more out to being saved than the Jewish Nation.

Application: If we hear God’s words we should run towards them and not away from them. God knows what is good for us and if we would just repent and listen to what He wants us to do than we can be saved. Don’t think because you’re a Seventh-Day Adventist that that saves you and you will be found in Heaven one day. Some one who is of another faith may be found there in your place because you were too stubborn to heed God’s words.

Prayer: Dear Lord help me to repent from my sinful nature and to resemble more of a likeness of You. Help me not to be proud, but humble me into your submission to glorify your Name. Amen
