Luke 6:24-26

God’s way are higher than the mountains and none of us will truly understand them while here on earth!! There is a justice reserved for His creation.

Luke 6:25-26

24 “But woe to you who are rich,

For you have received your consolation.

25 Woe to you who are full,

For you shall hunger.

Woe to you who laugh now,

For you shall mourn and weep.

26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you,

For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

In contrast to God’s true prophets, who were mistreated and killed. Those most deserving of death—the false prophets—were allowed to live. Faithlife Bible.

A woe is a cry of pain that results from misfortune. Just as God presented blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, Jesus presented blessings and woes to His disciples who were anticipating the kingdom. The same blessings and woes apply to believers today when their works are evaluated. All that the rich receive is what they acquire on earth. Luke records many of Jesus’ critical remarks about the wealthy. Their wealth typically blinds them to their spiritual poverty and their need for salvation. NKJ Bible.
