This text, Luke 13:1-5, had a powerful This text, Luke 13:1-5, had a powerful This text, Luke 13:1-5, had a powerful effect on me years ago as I was cleaning effect on me years ago as I was cleaning effect on me years ago as I was cleaning a room. It was so powerful. I remember a room. It was so powerful. I remember a room. It was so powerful. I remember the the very thing I was doing with the the the very thing I was doing with the the the very thing I was doing with the vacuum cleaner, cleaning a room in my vacuum cleaner, cleaning a room in my vacuum cleaner, cleaning a room in my house, listening to a cassette sermon house, listening to a cassette sermon house, listening to a cassette sermon from RC Sproul entitled the misplaced from RC Sproul entitled the misplaced from RC Sproul entitled the misplaced locust of amazement. That was the name locust of amazement. That was the name locust of amazement. That was the name of the sermon. of the sermon. of the sermon. >> Oh, wow. >> Oh, wow. >> Oh, wow. >> Which I was very fascinated by because I >> Which I was very fascinated by because I >> Which I was very fascinated by because I didn't know what in the world he meant. didn't know what in the world he meant. didn't know what in the world he meant. And it was a sermon on this text, Luke And it was a sermon on this text, Luke And it was a sermon on this text, Luke 13:1-5. And it it shocked me. This his 13:1-5. And it it shocked me. This his 13:1-5. And it it shocked me. This his sermon shocked me into a reality that sermon shocked me into a reality that sermon shocked me into a reality that ought to be plain to us as Bible people, ought to be plain to us as Bible people, ought to be plain to us as Bible people, but so often isn't. So, let me read the but so often isn't. So, let me read the but so often isn't. So, let me read the text because I don't think most people text because I don't think most people text because I don't think most people aren't going to have it in their head.

aren't going to have it in their head. aren't going to have it in their head. And you you look for the misplaced And you you look for the misplaced And you you look for the misplaced amazement in this text. There were some amazement in this text. There were some amazement in this text. There were some present at that time who told him about present at that time who told him about present at that time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had the Galileans whose blood Pilate had the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. mingled with their sacrifices. mingled with their sacrifices. So evidently So evidently So evidently Pilate slaughtered Pilate slaughtered Pilate slaughtered some worshippers some worshippers some worshippers and took some of their blood and mingled and took some of their blood and mingled and took some of their blood and mingled it with the blood of the sheep that they it with the blood of the sheep that they it with the blood of the sheep that they were offering in sacrifice. And some were offering in sacrifice. And some were offering in sacrifice. And some people brought Jesus the news of this people brought Jesus the news of this people brought Jesus the news of this atrocity. atrocity. atrocity. Keep going. And Jesus answered them, "Do Keep going. And Jesus answered them, "Do Keep going. And Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans you think that these Galileans you think that these Galileans were worse sinners were worse sinners were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because than all the other Galileans because than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?" So what they suffered in this way?" So what they suffered in this way?" So what these friends of Jesus seem to assume is these friends of Jesus seem to assume is these friends of Jesus seem to assume is that to die in this terrible way must that to die in this terrible way must that to die in this terrible way must mean you've done something exceptionally mean you've done something exceptionally mean you've done something exceptionally evil. And and to that assumption, Jesus evil. And and to that assumption, Jesus evil. And and to that assumption, Jesus responds. This is verse three. No, I responds. This is verse three. No, I responds. This is verse three. No, I tell you, but unless you repent, tell you, but unless you repent, tell you, but unless you repent, you will all likewise you will all likewise you will all likewise perish. So Jesus denies perish. So Jesus denies perish. So Jesus denies that there is a correlation between the that there is a correlation between the that there is a correlation between the degree that people suffer and how bad degree that people suffer and how bad degree that people suffer and how bad they are. He denies, "No, no, don't do they are. He denies, "No, no, don't do they are. He denies, "No, no, don't do that. Don't look at that."

that. Don't look at that." that. Don't look at that." In fact, he goes so far as to say, u you In fact, he goes so far as to say, u you In fact, he goes so far as to say, u you deserve the same thing. [laughter] It's deserve the same thing. [laughter] It's deserve the same thing. [laughter] It's like, whoa, I didn't ask you to say that like, whoa, I didn't ask you to say that like, whoa, I didn't ask you to say that when I was bringing you this news. And when I was bringing you this news. And when I was bringing you this news. And and now he takes it even further and and now he takes it even further and and now he takes it even further and says this. This is verse four. And those says this. This is verse four. And those says this. This is verse four. And those 18 on whom the tower in Salomoam fell 18 on whom the tower in Salomoam fell 18 on whom the tower in Salomoam fell and killed them. Do you think that they and killed them. Do you think that they and killed them. Do you think that they were worse offenders were worse offenders were worse offenders than all the others who lived in than all the others who lived in than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? Jerusalem? Jerusalem? So he moves from an atrocity So he moves from an atrocity So he moves from an atrocity caused by an evil man pilot to an caused by an evil man pilot to an caused by an evil man pilot to an accident or insurance companies would accident or insurance companies would accident or insurance companies would call it an act of God. A disaster of a call it an act of God. A disaster of a call it an act of God. A disaster of a falling tower with 18 random people falling tower with 18 random people falling tower with 18 random people killed underneath the crashing tower. killed underneath the crashing tower. killed underneath the crashing tower. It's like a crane falling over in our It's like a crane falling over in our It's like a crane falling over in our day. day. day. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And and he asked the same question. Were >> And and he asked the same question. Were >> And and he asked the same question. Were they worse than you because they died they worse than you because they died they worse than you because they died like that? And here's verse 5. Know I like that? And here's verse 5. Know I like that? And here's verse 5. Know I tell you, but unless you repent, you tell you, but unless you repent, you tell you, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. So what's the will all likewise perish. So what's the will all likewise perish. So what's the point of that story? The point is, point of that story? The point is, point of that story? The point is, well, there's there's two ways to say well, there's there's two ways to say well, there's there's two ways to say it. It's in what Jesus denies it. It's in what Jesus denies it. It's in what Jesus denies and what he affirms. What he denies is and what he affirms. What he denies is and what he affirms. What he denies is that we can identify that we can identify that we can identify different degrees of badness in people different degrees of badness in people different degrees of badness in people from different degrees of suffering that

from different degrees of suffering that from different degrees of suffering that they experience. He says, "No, that's they experience. He says, "No, that's they experience. He says, "No, that's not true. Don't do that." not true. Don't do that." not true. Don't do that." And what he affirms And what he affirms And what he affirms is that you, the ones asking me this is that you, the ones asking me this is that you, the ones asking me this question, and I think that implies all question, and I think that implies all question, and I think that implies all of us, of us, of us, are just as liable are just as liable are just as liable to perishing as they are. to perishing as they are. to perishing as they are. Unless you repent, Unless you repent, Unless you repent, you're going to likewise perish. you're going to likewise perish. you're going to likewise perish. Now, think about that for a minute. The Now, think about that for a minute. The Now, think about that for a minute. The word likewise word likewise word likewise does not mean with the same exact kind does not mean with the same exact kind does not mean with the same exact kind of death. That would be contradictory of death. That would be contradictory of death. That would be contradictory because he says to everybody that if you because he says to everybody that if you because he says to everybody that if you don't repent, you will die the way Pilot don't repent, you will die the way Pilot don't repent, you will die the way Pilot killed people and if you don't repent, killed people and if you don't repent, killed people and if you don't repent, you're going to die under a falling you're going to die under a falling you're going to die under a falling tower. Well, you can't have it both tower. Well, you can't have it both tower. Well, you can't have it both ways. So, the likewise doesn't mean ways. So, the likewise doesn't mean ways. So, the likewise doesn't mean precisely the same kind of death. have precisely the same kind of death. have precisely the same kind of death. have your throats lit by pilot soldiers or your throats lit by pilot soldiers or your throats lit by pilot soldiers or die under a crashing tower. And the word die under a crashing tower. And the word die under a crashing tower. And the word perish perish perish can't mean only physical death because can't mean only physical death because can't mean only physical death because he says you won't experience it if you he says you won't experience it if you he says you won't experience it if you repent. Well, everybody dies.

repent. Well, everybody dies. repent. Well, everybody dies. >> If you repent, you're going to die. So >> If you repent, you're going to die. So >> If you repent, you're going to die. So unless you repent, you're going to unless you repent, you're going to unless you repent, you're going to perish. must mean something more than perish. must mean something more than perish. must mean something more than after after after [snorts] physical death, namely perish [snorts] physical death, namely perish [snorts] physical death, namely perish in final judgment and hell. So here's in final judgment and hell. So here's in final judgment and hell. So here's the conclusion. Jesus is affirming that the conclusion. Jesus is affirming that the conclusion. Jesus is affirming that the atrocity that happened to the first the atrocity that happened to the first the atrocity that happened to the first group and the calamity that happened to group and the calamity that happened to group and the calamity that happened to the second group are not a sign of their the second group are not a sign of their the second group are not a sign of their exceptional evil. exceptional evil. exceptional evil. but a reminder that all of us are so but a reminder that all of us are so but a reminder that all of us are so evil that we deserve hell. evil that we deserve hell. evil that we deserve hell. >> It's a stunning thing for Jesus to do >> It's a stunning thing for Jesus to do >> It's a stunning thing for Jesus to do and to say. And what RC Sproul meant by and to say. And what RC Sproul meant by and to say. And what RC Sproul meant by the misplaced locust of amazement the misplaced locust of amazement the misplaced locust of amazement is that Jesus is saying your amazement is that Jesus is saying your amazement is that Jesus is saying your amazement that some people died a terrible death that some people died a terrible death that some people died a terrible death is a is misplaced.

is a is misplaced. is a is misplaced. >> What you ought to be amazed at is that >> What you ought to be amazed at is that >> What you ought to be amazed at is that you weren't among the number. you weren't among the number. you weren't among the number. You weren't among those whom Pilate You weren't among those whom Pilate You weren't among those whom Pilate killed. That's what should amaze you. killed. That's what should amaze you. killed. That's what should amaze you. You weren't under the tower when it You weren't under the tower when it You weren't under the tower when it fell. That's the amazing thing that you fell. That's the amazing thing that you fell. That's the amazing thing that you and I are still breathing and have some and I are still breathing and have some and I are still breathing and have some time to repent so that we won't perish. time to repent so that we won't perish. time to repent so that we won't perish. That's amazing because we deserve to be That's amazing because we deserve to be That's amazing because we deserve to be under the tower. We deserve to be with under the tower. We deserve to be with under the tower. We deserve to be with our throats slit just like those poor our throats slit just like those poor our throats slit just like those poor worshippers. worshippers. worshippers. This is a fullcale This is a fullcale This is a fullcale indictment of the human race. Just indictment of the human race. Just indictment of the human race. Just breathtaking. It is a declaration that breathtaking. It is a declaration that breathtaking. It is a declaration that our sinfulness is so deep and so our sinfulness is so deep and so our sinfulness is so deep and so thorough and such an indignity to God thorough and such an indignity to God thorough and such an indignity to God that every human being deserves to that every human being deserves to that every human being deserves to perish. So the answer to the question, perish. So the answer to the question, perish. So the answer to the question, why did Jesus connect the headline why did Jesus connect the headline why did Jesus connect the headline suffering to the need for repentance in suffering to the need for repentance in suffering to the need for repentance in the onlookers the onlookers the onlookers is that that's one of God's purposes is that that's one of God's purposes is that that's one of God's purposes in the headline suffering.

in the headline suffering. in the headline suffering. Don't point your finger at at the bad Don't point your finger at at the bad Don't point your finger at at the bad people who just died. Don't point your people who just died. Don't point your people who just died. Don't point your finger. Rather, be reminded finger. Rather, be reminded finger. Rather, be reminded that's what you deserve. Every time you that's what you deserve. Every time you that's what you deserve. Every time you read a headline, every time you see a a read a headline, every time you see a a read a headline, every time you see a a hurricane or tornado or some terrible hurricane or tornado or some terrible hurricane or tornado or some terrible flood or disease, what you're supposed flood or disease, what you're supposed flood or disease, what you're supposed to say is, "I deserve to die." to say is, "I deserve to die." to say is, "I deserve to die." >> And you can escape it. You can escape >> And you can escape it. You can escape >> And you can escape it. You can escape God's judgment by repenting, by turning God's judgment by repenting, by turning God's judgment by repenting, by turning to Jesus and saying, "I'm done with sin. to Jesus and saying, "I'm done with sin. to Jesus and saying, "I'm done with sin. I hate my sin. I need a savior." I hate my sin. I need a savior." I hate my sin. I need a savior." I think this goes a long way to I think this goes a long way to I think this goes a long way to answering the other question. answering the other question. answering the other question. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Does God intend for us to see or read >> Does God intend for us to see or read >> Does God intend for us to see or read about the tragedies of others? about the tragedies of others? about the tragedies of others? And I think the answer is yes. If big And I think the answer is yes. If big And I think the answer is yes. If big if, if the effect of this awareness, if, if the effect of this awareness, if, if the effect of this awareness, this knowledge of of suffering doesn't this knowledge of of suffering doesn't this knowledge of of suffering doesn't just depress us or paralyze us or just depress us or paralyze us or just depress us or paralyze us or fascinate us, but makes us people who fascinate us, but makes us people who fascinate us, but makes us people who are more humble, more loving, more are more humble, more loving, more are more humble, more loving, more Christexalting.
