Just Got Mad!
But Jesus looked into their eyes and said, "Then what does
this verse mean: 'The stone that the builders did not want
became the cornerstone'? Every person that falls on that
stone will be broken. If that stone falls on you, it will
crush you!" The teachers of the law and the leading priests
heard this story that Jesus told. They knew this story was
about them. So they wanted to arrest Jesus at that time. But
they were afraid of what the people would do.
-- Luke 20:17-19 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
There are three ways to respond when Jesus speaks the truth about your
sin. First, you can ignore it and pretend it doesn't apply to you.
Second, you can do what the religious leaders did here -- you can
become enraged at the truth and try to get rid of the truth-teller.
Third, you can be convicted in your heart and change your life. While
the events in which we face these three choices are not as significant
as what is happening with Jesus in Jerusalem, they do happen for us. So
what are we going to do with the truth about our sin?
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, when I hear the truth, please convict my heart and help me
change my life. I don't want to ignore or rationalize my sin away. I
don't want to let Satan harden my heart to the truth. Help me be
convicted of my sin and commit to live your truth no matter the
personal cost to me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
