Passage: Luke 13:2-39
This passage talks about people who we don’t think would actually make it to heaven. Jesus addresses it and basically says, “Stop thinking about that! It’s not yours to worry about and judge.” When we think like that we sit on a high and mighty horse called, “Arrogance,” and, based on this scripture, it’s annoying to God. Plus, Jesus makes it seem like we are going to be surprised when we get to heaven anyway with a scripture like this, verse 30, “Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last."
I think one scripture we can rest on, that would give us purpose and guide our heart is this, verse 34, “how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,” What a picture of God! He LONGS to gather us and protect us. What a motivation factor to reach out to others – communicating this AMAZING God who LONGS to be close to them.
Who can you show that aspect of God’s nature to this weekend?
