day no. 14,191: old school grace, new school wrath

Genesis 18:22
So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord.
 
Jesus dispatched the angels to the task of destroying Sodom. Jesus approved of its destruction. He did not show up thousands of years later to apologize for His grumpy old Dad. Jesus is eternal God. What God does, He does. What God says, He says. If you are prone to believing the lie that the OT was archaic, bloody and backwoods and that the NT is enlightened, gracious and revolutionary, you are reading them wrong. There is grace upon grace in the OT and there is plenty of blood and destruction in the NT. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
