“His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing-floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.’ Luke 3:17
We like to emphasise the love and compassion of Jesus, and it is right to do so, but it is important that we do not forget that the time will come when we will all have to give an account of ourselves. And those who have not given themselves into the love and care of Christ and following his ways will be like the chaff. Let us pray that we would have the wisdom to believe in him and follow his ways.
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
