“But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, ‘Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.’ But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.”
“Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
“He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent Me.”
Luke 10:10-16
These are the words of Jesus Christ. Every one who is in need needs Jesus. Every one needs to receive His words, believing His words, and trusting Him for eternal salvation. We are all sinners. Jesus came into the world to deliver us from our condemnation.
These words were spoken by Jesus to the seventy He sent out to all Judea, telling them of their responsibility if they are rejected; and also the destination of any city, nation, or people that rejected the word of the gospel.
Jesus goes on to say “He that hears you, hears Me; “ and “He that despises you despises Me.” He went on and added this, “He that despises Me despises Him who sent Me.”
Will you call on Him for salvation and deliverance from your condemnation?
