'Worse than Sodom?' - Luke 10:12

[Jesus, to the seventy-two disciples, referring to any town that rejects the disciples and his message:] "I assure you, even wicked Sodom will be better off than such a town on judgment day."

Luke 10:12 NLT

Key Thought


Jesus was trying to help his disciples understand the dire consequences for those who rejected his message that the disciples were taking to the towns. For those from Jewish heritage, there was no worse example of evil than the city of Sodom. Nor is there any more powerful example of God's judgment for rejecting a chance to leave that evil than Sodom. Jesus wanted to make clear that rejecting him, his messengers, and his message was worse than Sodom and was choosing a fate worse than Sodom. This sobering truth should make us realize how precious the message of Jesus is for the salvation of the lost world... and for our own!

Today's Prayer


Father, in a world of relativism where the only value seems to be to despise those with values, please help me know with both my mind and my heart the importance of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Never let me take it lightly. Never let me take for granted the need others have to know your Son as their Lord; but instead, help me to do something to help others come to know your Son as their Savior. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
