Chapter 13 is full of hard scripture to read, yet full of hope. Think on this:
a. Do you believe what Jesus says in verses 1-9? "Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans?" Jesus seems to be saying sin is sin. The result of sin is the same for all. Perhaps we should get things right with God now, rather than later. The same would apply to our family and friends. Take care of our relationships.
b. Then there is the hope expressed in verses 6-9....reminds me of Abraham talking to God about Sodom and Gomorrah.
c. We often carry burdens which cause us to walk like a cripple. Will you allow Jesus to relieve your burdens? Or is more comfortable to carry them and remain the same? See verses 10-17.
d. Jesus laments about Jerusalem. I am struck by His grief that a city He loves and a people He calls ignore Him. Do you ever think about Jesus feeling grief over our ignorance of His teaching?
