Day 212 - Luke 9:51~56

Samaritan Opposition
 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[b]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.

    James and his brother John are the ill-tempered apostles of Christ. So their response is understandable. However, Jesus showed us how to respond to rejection (by the Samaritan) and a agitation (by James and John).

    When somebody rejects us, we just move on and hold no grudge about it. Be more understanding.

    When someone tried to agitate us, we should rebuke him or her quickly to prevent a full blown fire.
