Lesson 2572

(Lesson 2572)(01-06-19) Luke 13-31-35
    “The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”

   In today’s quote, under the threat of being killed by Herod, Jesus blasted the Jews for their historic rejection of God’s messengers and forewarned them that their “chosen” status, upon completion of His divined mission, would be taken away from them. ~

NOTE: I am terribly sorry that I didn’t post a lesson yesterday. I was out of town longer than I expected and didn’t have time to get it done. I promise I’ll try to do better.
