“But at once Yeshua spoke to them. Courage, He said, it is I. Stop being afraid.”

“Then Yeshua began to denounce the towns in which He had done most of His miracles, because the people had not turned from their sins to God. Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Beit-Tzaidah! Why, if the miracles done in you had been done in Tzor and Tzidn (Tyre and Sidon), they would long ago have put on sackcloth and ashes as evidence that they had changed their ways.”
Matthew 11:20-21 CJB

The sad thing is that even today people don’t take repenting and turning from sin seriously! Many take the grace of God for granted and don’t realize God’s grace comes with a great responsibility we need to walk in His ways! Grace is a free gift from God, which should be the most precious gift we have!

“But I tell you that on the Day of Judgment it will be more bearable for the land of S’dom (Sodom) than for you.”

“Take My yoke upon you and LEARN from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Today let’s walk in the light of the LORD!
