Unbearable

Luke 10:10-12 (NIV)

10But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11'Even the dust of your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God is near.' 12I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.

Jesus says this to the seventy-two He sends out before Him. The kingdom is come! It will arrive fully when He arrives.

Sodom’s day was before the kingdom arrived with Jesus. Just as we were not held accountable before the law was given, Sodom did not have the revelation of salvation and faith in the Son. God must have something in mind, for He is an awesome and just God. But now there is no excuse. For those who reject Jesus, it will be unbearable.
