Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

Mark 6:10-11(NKJV)

10Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. 

11And £whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. £Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

Just another example of Jesus saying Move on!

Again we have people who have made a conscious decision that they are not going to be followers of Christ.  Does Jesus tell the disciples to keep going back and try to convince them?  Nope.  Does Jesus tell the disciples to go back and keep pouring out blessings on these people until you simply overcome them with God's love?   Nope.

What does Jesus tell them to do?  Move on!  They had their chance, now let God deal with them.

This is an issue that I am becoming more and more convinced is important.  I think we spend way too much time trying to convince people who have already made a decision against Christ when there are so many people out there who haven't even heard the message yet. 

Bring the message, let them make their free will choice and then move on.  Our job is to bring the message.  The rest is up to God.  As RC Sproul said "I had to realize that I was just part of God's plan, I wasn't the whole plan."

Now let's go do what God has instructed us to do.  Bring the message!
