Just want people to post on scriptures they found shocking when they first read them or after they contemplated them; and why...
By first will be:
Mathew 11 20-24
"Then he began to denounce most of the cities where his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent. Woe to you Charazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for Tyre and Sidon then for you. And you Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you."
The first thing that is suprising is the wonderous grace that Lord gives both the jews and us, who are called by his name...
But secondly, what I highlighted seems to state that Jesus knew a people would have turned from destruction to repentence, but the Lord did not grant him the grace he granted the jews of his lifetime...
So have a shocking verse?
God bless.
