In verses 20-24, Jesus
laments the lack of acceptance and faith He found in the various cities in which
He preached. The people, He said, refused to repent, therefore the day of
judgment would not be kind to them.
This vignette got me
thinking about repentance. Repentance opens the door to salvation and the
blessing of God. Given its blessings and benefits, why is it so hard for we
humans to repent? Why do we fight it and resist it with all our might?
Why?
I wish I had answers to
these questions. I wish I knew why I, who have repented in the past and know its
benefits, still resist repentance when it is needed in my life?
Where are you with respect
to repentance and God? Think about it… because repentance opens the door to many
spiritual blessings.
Lord, thank
You that You worked in my life in such a way that I accepted your invitation to
repent. I am so blessed as a result. And for this I, too, thank You.
Amen.
