Luke 10:13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Take a look at Luke 10:16. Commentary says that whether accepted or rejected, it is best for servants of God not to take their reception too personally. According to Enduring Word, “If they truly represent their Master, the success or rejection of their work is more due to Him than to them. Their greatest concern should not be with success or rejection, but with properly representing Jesus their Master.”
Luke 10:14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
Am I properly representing Jesus? Some days, absolutely. I’m really proud of the godly way I handle myself. Some days, absolutely not. I am mortified at my personal failings as I try to shine His light. Focusing on my representation of my Savior instead of my reception from others truly changes the conversation in the best way for me.
Luke 10:15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.
Precious Savior, You know my heart, my worries, my struggles. Thank You for this morning’s perspective. Thank You for the reminder that I am representing You in this world and I need to pay attention that I represent You properly. Thank You for Your grace, love, and peace. Amen.
Luke 10:16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
Have a blessed day.
