Sometimes it doesn't matter

  Sometimes it doesn’t matter

“To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 

“ ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’  

For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’  

The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and “sinners.” ’ But wisdom is proved right by her actions.” Matthew 11:16-19

Here Jesus points out the he and John had quite different styles. John followed the strictest rules. He came eating only the basics and he never drank strong drink.

By contrast Jesus did eat and drink. Additionally he sat down with anyone who would listen to him.

Both ways were condemned by the religious leaders of his day. It was a no win situation.

The same is true today. Sometimes no matter how God decided to show himself learned men and women of this day and age they refuse to believe who Jesus is.

That being said it is still the duty of all those who believe in Christ Jesus to present God’s saving grace that comes though Christ Jesus to those around us. Even if they don’t believe it.

Think about it.
