03/23 Luke 17:25-29
But first the Son of Man must suffer terribly and be rejected by this generation. 26 “When the Son of Man returns, the world will be like the people were in Noah’s day. 27 In those days before the flood, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came to destroy them all. 28 “And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business — eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building — 29 until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
REJECTED
The world has always rejected Jesus. It clamors against faith. It rails about how foolish and misdirected Christians are. They claim there is no god. They are the foolish ones. Tragically they will be sadly mistaken at His return and then it will be too late. Persecution is the world’s way. Forgiveness is the way of the Cross-. But when Christ returns it will all be over in an instant.
MARCH 23 – REJECTED
