Day 227 - Luke 12:54~59
Interpreting the Times
54 He said to the crowd:
“When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time? 57 “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right? 58 As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. 59 I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.”
Man's technological knowledge has advanced tremendously since the time of Jesus, but our knowledge of what is right and wrong and our habit of doing what is right since to be stagnating, if not moving backward. I could hear Jesus asking this question to our present time now.
