THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: - Vital Christianity

218"He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as forthe one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. But thoseenemies of Mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them hereand kill them in front of Me” (vv. 26-27).Although this is probably a reference to the awful destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 itpoints to the final destruction of all who are found in open rebellion against Christ.APPLICATIONWe are all warned about the consequences of rebellion against the Lord.Either we let Him reign over us or we will spend eternity apart from Him ineverlasting torment.If we are already His servant, are we doing the business He told us to do?1Josephus, Antiquities I, xiv. c. xiv.NOTE
