Luke: Part 61- Get Right With God
Our Lord Jesus teaches us that the last judgment is coming and that it is critical that we not wait until the Day of Judgment to come to Him. If you wait, it will be too late. Jesus Christ is the judge of all the earth. He will hand you over to judgment, and you won’t get out until you pay the last cent, which means you won’t ever get out, because you are a debtor who is unable to pay your debts. This is a difficult teaching. It’s very uncomfortable. But we understand that Christ divides between those who put their trust in Him, and those who reject Him. Have you had your spiritual debts forgiven? This is your timely warning to get right with God. Our scripture reading for this morning is from Luke 12:57-59. “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.”
