"Unless you repent, you will be destroyed in the same way." Twice, Jesus made this shocking statement in Luke 13:1-9. What was he saying?
First he told a story of Pilate having people executed because of rebellion. Secondly, he talked about an accident where a number of people were killed. After each he stated the quote above.
Jesus was not passing judgement on the people. He was there to provide hope. To provide a way for people to escape impending disaster. Jesus came to give his life so that we need not face eternity without hope. However, he could do everything he did, but there is a part we need to play. That part is to repent. We are called to repent, turn from sin and trust in Christ for our eternal rescue.
