[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, today *Jesus declares judgment on the towns of Galilee that did
not believe in him and repent*. *He stands at the end of the long line of
prophets God sent in order to reconcile his people to himself*.* Like* t*he
prophets before him, Jesus* *is ignored, mocked, and rejected. *

*What happens as a result of man’s refusal of God? Not nothing. God’s
judgment falls on the unfaithful nation*. *What is the instrument of God’s
justice? One of the heathen nations, the Chaldeans, come and destroy the
city of Jerusalem, burn the temple, carry off its most sacred objects, and
force the Israelites into exile. And then the Romans follow suit in the
first century.*

*Is this bad luck? Just the typical give and take of geopolitical forces? **No!
The Bible insists that this should be read as God’s action,* *more
specifically as God’s judgment and punishment.* Mind you, *this* *is not an
arbitrary punishment, something cruel and vindictive; rather, it is God
allowing the fallen nation to feel the effects of its sin.*

*So what’s the lesson*? *Sin has consequences,* a
*nd we rarely have to wait for the next world to experience them. *


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
