19.01.25 Blessed Is He Who Is Not Offended. Ps. Geoff Broekman

Blessed Is He Who Is Not Offended

Jesus said to the multitudes “We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; We mourn to you, and you did not lament.” In other words, there is no pleasing you guys. Jesus went on to say,“blessed is he who is not offended because of me.”

Man has a great ability to deflect all responsibility, by taking offense at Jesus and the gospel message, rather than confronting his own sinful nature. The gospel message in not intended to conceal sin. Its intent is to rout out, expose and to deal with sin with all its impurities and imperfections. Sin, dealt with here on earth, will allow you to live with God in Heaven.
