The right thing and the flat earth society

Jesus looks at the sky and then beyond his disciples to the crowds and speaks, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it turns out. And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, 'It will be a hot day,' and so it turns out. You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and sky, but why do you not analyze this present time. And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right." Luke 12:54-57

U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, speaking from Indonesia said recently, 'Everyone and every country must take responsibility for the problem and act immediately. We should not allow a tiny minority of shoddy scientists and science and extreme ideologues to compete with scientific facts. nor should we allow any room for those who think that the costs associated with doing the right thing outweighs the benefits. We don't have time for a meeting anywhere of the flat earth society. It's not an exaggeration to say that your entire way of life is at risk. In a sense, climate change can now be considered the world's largest weapon of mass destruction.'

I find it interesting that Secretary Kerry and Jesus both emphasize the right thing. Kerry says that the right thing is to act on our knowledge of climate change to save the planet. Jesus says that if you can figure out the weather with great certainty you are without excuse on weightier issues.  I think Jesus would ask, 'You can figure out the weather but you remain confused about marriage between a man and a woman?  How can this be?' More to the point he would say, 'There is no excuse for being confused about the Son of Man. Put your 'polar vortex' smarts to work studying the Gospels. (The true eye witness accounts of the life of Jesus found in the Bible) The evidence is right before your eyes."  

Earlier in his discourse Jesus says, "I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled. But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished." Luke 12:49,20  It doesn't take a meteorologist to figure out that Jesus is speaking about his appointment with the cross & saving the world from mass destruction! Something is dreadfully wrong with planet earth and it isn't the weather.  It would take the death and resurrection of God's own Son to set it right.  How well he knew it. And if you can figure out the weather you can too!
