“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!”
Isaiah 5:20-21 KJV
Isaiah spoke to a people who had lost their moral bearings and had cast off God Himself! In their stubbornness, they refused to turn back to God. God sent His Son Jesus to die for the sin of the whole world, and all people, past present and future. Such is the love of God for all the people of this planet. That’s why Jesus spent time with the sinners, tax collectors and prostitutes, who had lost their moral bearings and needed God’s love so badly! They gladly received the good news of their sins being forgiven and got eternal life. Today the Church needs to be good news to the people that it is only the Blood sacrifice of Jesus that removes sin and through faith in Him they receive eternal life. Let’s not be wise in our own eyes, judging and condemning people. Let’s be the Church of Jesus Christ that loves people with the love of God and speaks forgiveness of sin and eternal life.
