Matthew 11:20-24
“20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of
his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida!
for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and
Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven,
shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in
thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.”
A warning our
generation needs to heed today. We claim to be “ One Nation Under God.” But we
are anything but that. A nation whose founding was undeniably on Godly
principles and precepts. For far to long we have turned our backs on the God
who has time and time again shown mercy on us as a nation. How long will His
people in this nation rebel against the God they claim to love? How long will
His people follow after the wickedness provided them by the enemy? Do we really
think we are any better than Tyre and Sidon and Sodom and Gomorrah? Do we not
see and understand what God did to Israel and Judah at the hands of the
Assyrians and the Chaldeans and the Babylonians? Are we any better than God's
people in the Old Testament?
O brethren!!! we
must repent of our evil ways and turn to Christ and seek His face. If we truly
desire to see change in our nation the judgment must start first at the house
of the Lord. The Lord's churches must lead the charge if we are to continue to
see God's mercy upon our land.
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
