Then he began to reproach the cities in which most of his deeds of power had been done because they did not repent. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, on the day of judgment it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven?
No, you will be brought down to Hades.
“For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that on the day of judgment it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom than for you.” (Matthew 11:20-24, NRSVue)
Many still think Sodom was destroyed for sexual immorality. But that’s not it. Sodom was destroyed because they were not hospitable and were on a power trip they wanted to maintain.
Want to follow Christ? Humble yourself and give up any power you think you have. Humble yourself and be love to the world.
Power will not save you. Love will always set you free.
