Luke 13 Why Does God Keep Me Alive?

 

Luke 13 – Why does God Keep Me Alive?

 

How easy it is to ask questions about others’ tragedies and fail to learn the lessons they teach! The big question is not “Why do people die in tragic and seemingly meaningless ways?” but “Why does God keep me alive?” Am I worth it? Am I bearing fruit or taking up space? The precariousness of life in a fallen world should prompt everyone to take stock of their spiritual condition.

 

The ruler of the synagogue was a hypocrite because he treated animals better than he treated people. Suppose the woman did come to the synagogue on another day. Could he have healed her? Of course not! We wonder how many needy people come to church meeting looking for love and help and go away disappointed.

 

God’s kingdom is at work in the world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience. No wonder Jesus wept when He saw sinners passing by their opportunities to be saved! Do not wait for opportunities to come; they are already here. Jesus is the way to salvation, and no other way exists.
