—Matthew 11:20-24

If there is an opposite of “angelic joy” at repentance, I think it is described here. Complete condemnation awaits those who do not repent. It is hard to fathom the destruction that cities who have not repented will experience and have experienced. Sodom was completely destroyed and these unrepentant cities were told it would be even worse for them. I am no fan of the evangelistic signs I see waved on the street corners with messages like “Turn or Burn.” But, in short, this is a reality of the message in this passage. This is why we are called to be salt and light in our corner of the world, making an impact that will hopefully lead to repentance for many.
