Text: Luke 13: 4-5

THE PLACE OF REPENTANCE

1. The Message of Repentance was preached:

a. By John the Baptiser (Luke 3:3).

i. He promoted “a baptism of repentance” (Luke 3:3).

ii. He expected “fruits worthy of repentance” (Luke 3:8).

b. By the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 4:17).

2. Instruction concerning the need for repentance.

“Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

Luke 13:4-5

a. There was a Tower in Siloam that fell.

b. 18 people were killed in this tragedy.

c. The common understanding:

i. That those who were killed must have been “worse sinners” than others who lived in Jerusalem.

ii. The Lord Jesus did not agree with this common view expressed.

3. The danger of perishing

a. Many focused only on physical death.

b. The Lord went beyond this understanding.

c. If there is no repentance:

i. Then one would die with sins unforgiven.

ii. This is worse than a tragic physical death problem.

iii. Everyone should take the problem of sin seriously.

d. This was another Call from the Lord Jesus to repent from sin and to seek salvation in Him.

经文：路加福音 13：4-5

悔改的需要

1.宣讲悔改的信息

a.施洗约翰在旷野宣讲《路加福音 3：3》

i. 他宣讲“悔改的洗礼”《路加福音 3：3》

ii. 要人们结出“悔改的果子”《路加福音 3：8》

b.主耶稣基督也宣讲悔改的信息《马太福音 4:17》

2.关于悔改的指示

“从前西罗亚楼倒塌了，压死十八个人，你们以为那些人比一切住在耶路撒冷的人更有罪吗？我告诉你们：不是的！你们若不悔改，都要如此灭亡。”

《路加福音 13:4-5》

a.有一座西罗亚楼倒塌了

b.压死了十八个人

c.共同的理解是：

i. 那些被压死的人一定比其他住在耶路撒冷的人“更罪恶”

ii. 主耶稣不同意大众的观点

3.灭亡的可能

a.许多人只关注肉体的死亡

b.主超越了这种理解

c.若不悔改：

i. 那个人会带着未赦免的罪而死

ii. 这比肉体的死亡更悲惨

iii. 每个人都应该认真地对待罪的问题

d.主耶稣的这呼召，是要罪人悔改并在耶稣里寻求救恩
