“There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:1-5).
Today’s Morsel: In olden times, the tower was one of the highest places in the city. It was sat so that the watchman could not only see who was coming to give the warning to have the gate open, but it also provided the sentinel with protection. When they told Jesus about the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices, he asks them a question. He said, “Those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Solomon said, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10). What if Jesus fell on you? Would you be saved or lost? Would you be crushed, or would you survive? Jesus again says, “Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder” (Luke 20:18). Why don’t you fall upon Him now while you have the chance to be saved?
Sing: Anointing fall on me. Anointing fall on me. Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me, anointing fall on me.
Thought For Today: A broken and a contrite heart, He will not despise.
