Luke 10:13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.”
Tyre and Sidon, like Sodom, also were recipients of God’s judgement in the Old Testament. And yet Jesus here pronounces woe upon the towns that He had ministered to in His day. This gives us a very interesting glimpse into the mind of God.
Jesus was not just speaking theoretically here. He was actually sharing truth from His omniscience. God knows not only what has been, but what could have been. This is difficult for us to accept at first. But, when we see that Jesus will be the judge of all, we can be extremely thankful that He knows these things.
It is apparent here that Jesus will judge people on the basis of their access to the truth. The towns and villages that Jesus ministered to while He was here, had ample opportunity to see Him for Who He is, and to repent.
Heavenly Father, thank You for another day to live for You! Thank You for Your mercy, love, and grace. Only by Your will does any of us live from one day to the next. We love You and hope to serve You all the days of our lives. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
