Hebrews 3:15
"Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread throughout the region. He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all. And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom on the Sabbath, He entered the synagogue and stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. He unrolled it, and found the place where it was written,
'The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the good news to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,
To proclaim the year acceptable to the Lord.'
He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He said, 'Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.'
When they heard these words, the people were roused to fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the top of the hill upon which their town was built, intending to hurl him off the cliff.”
Luke 4:14-21, 28-29
"With tears in my eyes I tell you now that some may be lost, forever. Their pride and their desires are the gods that they worship. They boast with pride about things of which they should be ashamed. They think only about their privilege and the advantages of this world."
Phillipians 3:19-20
If the Lord returned today, but did not return in the way in which he is expected, what would we do?
Accept him? Bless his words?
Or reject and abuse him, because he did not come and give them what they want?
And whom then do they serve?
So do not judge others harshly, now or who have come before, to hide and excuse our own faithlessness.
What then would you do?
You are doing it, right now.
“Let all my nothingness be drowned in the ocean of your mercy.”
