Jesus, Our Commander in Chief (Part 2)
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.”
“Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.”
In other words, Jesus is saying that the reason people in Tyre and Sidon were not saved was because there weren’t enough labourers to heal their sick and raise their dead. If the Mighty Works of God had been done in those cities, they would have repented and turned to God. Another reason why people are not turning to God today is because they see the religious mess this world is in. They see a form of religion but no power to change them. They see a form of Godliness but the power is denied, the Virgin birth being denied and the Blood of Christ denied.
They don’t see their needs being met. When you begin to meet the needs of people through the Word, prayer and ministry, they will come by the thousands to be saved. Jesus met every need of humanity while He was here on earth. Should we do any less? He has given us His Name, to rule in life.
