“But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this that the kingdom of God has come near. ’ I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town.”
Excerpt, Gospel Reading, Thursday 3rd October 2024 – LUKE 10:1-12.
So, the streets as well as life as a whole is not the same for someone who grew up with a father than one who grew up without a father. And this is without prejudice to an actual good father or a father figure.
A person from a good home, raised with both parents who ensured they never lacked the basic necessities of life but chose to go the way of wrath, the streets and life in general is more harsh and intolerable for them than one raised from the streets.
Today’s teaching is akin to the above assertions.
It shall be more tolerable for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah than for those cities which the message of the kingdom of God was preached to and they rejected it.
Dear friend, we must carefully check and ensure that we are not such cities.
Have a fantastic day folks.
