See Him!

And you people of Capernaum, will you be honored in heaven? No, you will go down to the place of the dead. For if the miracles I did for you had been done in wicked Sodom, it would still be here today. Matthew 11:23

Sodom, that city destroyed by the Lord centuries before Jesus' time. A city so infamous that the name is used in relation to sexual sin even to the present age. Did the Lord Jesus get through to Capernaum with this statement? Did their jaws drop in shock that a traveling rabbi could say such a thing to them? But of course when we read the Word of God, it comes around to read us. How do we stack up against the spiritual blindness of the people of Capernaum? Will there be places joining Capernaum down in the place of the dead?

So, the salacious one asks, what sins did Capernaum invent that even Sodom didn't have? No, Capernaum wasn't known that way! It was the sin of unbelief that Jesus pointed out for them. Jesus did miracles in Capernaum, but their unbelief blinded them to who He was. Don't be that way!

Have faith in Jesus and see Him!
