1 | So what's with the religious leaders? | Luke 4:28 | Hank | 121025 | ||
Right as rain, Ed! When you and I were youngsters, it was the four-letter words that were taboo. Now they're o.k. It's the three-letter word 'sin' that is the no-no. Before changing churches several years ago, my wife and I listened to the sermons of one pastor for six years and can't recall his ever mentioning the word 'sin.' And neither did he spend any time preaching about hell, judgment, condemnation, or any of those other negative things. The poor fellow didn't want to offend his precious lambs, don't you see? They might get mad and leave and take their money with them. So he played the nice guy and cranked out innocent little sermonettes of sweetness and light that gave everyone a warm, fuzzy feeling. One left the service with the distinct impression that God was a glorified Santa Claus and Jesus was His helper. --Hank | ||||||

Let us clear our eyes now, and take another look at Jesus. He did not come to judge the world He did not come to blame He came to this old world to seek And it was to save that he came That little chorus may have been based on John 3:17. There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, “Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish”. And there are present in this season some who tell of the homosexuals, whose blood has been mingled with AIDS. And Jesus answering says unto them, "Suppose ye that these homosexuals are sinners above all the Californians, because they suffer such things? I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Or those unwed mothers, upon whom the tower of poverty falls, and keeps them down, think you that they are sinners above all women that dwell in the hood? I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish". Ah! Let us not sully the reputation of that holy One, or make him out to be like Tom. He said, in John 8:15, “Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man”. Let us not think of him as the Accuser. Someone else is. Let us not think of him as judge now; that is for a future day (Acts 17:31). Let us call him Savior. When we call him Savior When we call him Savior When we call him Savior Then, we call him by his name. The Savior says, in John 12:47, "If any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world". Amen. |
