SELFISHNESS IS SUICIDAL

Mark 12:1-12

The Jews rejected Jesus, the Son of God and their own and the world’s rightful King. And so they rejected their opportunity to be the world’s first nation. “They left him”; ut­terly, severely, they left him. And so he was forced to leave them. That’s always the order. If ever God leaves a man it is only long after the man has left God. Sin is suicidal. Selfishness nails its own coffin. Re­jection of Jesus is self-rejection.
