Woe on Unrepentant Cities

It is disturbing to see riots and looting in New York City and the anti-government takeover of six city blocks in Seattle. Many believers are praying Jesus will intervene and save these cities. However, we have to understand and accept that fact that some cities, even though Jesus has been preached in their streets, remain unrepentant. “Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. “Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to the skies? No, you will go down to the depths. If the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you” (Matt 11:20-24 NIV).
