Topic:
Consequences Of Rejecting The Gospel
Text:
Luke 10:12 – 16
Most times some of us Christians fret
and become angry when people reject us and our gospel message. It supposed not
to be so. Why will you fret and become angry? You were not the one they
rejected but the person who sent you. God is the owner of the field where we
went to harvest. If people are not willing to accept your message, leave it at
that because God is the one that will judge them at last. Here, Jesus posited
that there are consequences of rejecting the gospel. Outside being rejected by
God at last, their condition will be worse than that of Sodom, the evil city
that was destroyed because they were evil; practising sodomy (Genesis 19).
Today, we use the name of the city to
symbolize wickedness and immorality. As those who rejected the gospel will suffer
on Judgment Day, it will be worse for cities which saw the Messiah and rejected
Him. Jesus pronounced woe on Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum for rejecting
him and the gospel. You should not develop a shamed face when people reject you
and your gospel.
When you have the understanding that
it is the Lord who gives increase to our labour, who causes repentance, you
will not become angry. Your duty is to go and as you go, leave the issue of
harvesting with god. He knows when and how to cause repentance. As you go out
on evangelism, have in your mind to preach the gospel. Any other thing that
follows should be inconsequential to you. Leave everything for God.
Food
for Thought:
Every action or inaction has its consequences.
Memory
verse: Luke
10 verse 16
Prayer:
Help me, O Lord, to preach the gospel and never to fret or get angry when
people refuse to accept my gospel message.
