Gen Z: Luke 13
1Some peeps were telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices. Sus vibes.
2Jesus was like, "You think these Galileans were worse sinners just 'cause they went through that? No cap."
3"Nah fam, unless you all turn it around, you’ll end up in the same boat."
4"What about those eighteen who got crushed by the tower in Siloam? You think they were worse than everyone else in Jerusalem?"
5"Nah fam, unless you all turn it around, you’ll end up in the same boat."
6He dropped this parable: A dude had a fig tree in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit but found nada.
7Then he told the gardener, "Yo, I've been checking this fig tree for three years, and it’s still not vibin’. Just cut it down; why take up space?"
8The gardener was like, "Chill, let me work on it this year, dig around it and give it some love."
9"If it bears fruit, lit! If not, then you can chop it down."
10He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, just poppin' off.
11Yo, there was this woman who’d been struggling for 18 years, all bent over and couldn’t even stand up straight. Total vibe check.
12When Jesus peeped her, he called her over and said, "Girl, you’re freed from that struggle."
13He laid hands on her, and boom, she was straight up healed and was all about glorifying God.
14But the synagogue boss was mad salty, 'cause Jesus healed on the Sabbath, and he was like, "Yo, there are six days to work, so come get healed then, not on the Sabbath."
15The Lord clapped back, saying, "Bruh, don’t you all free your animals on the Sabbath to get water? No cap."
16"And this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who's been tied down by Satan for 18 years, shouldn’t she be freed on the Sabbath? That’s just savage."
17After he dropped that truth, all his haters felt embarrassed, and everyone else was vibing hard for all the dope things he did.
18Then he asked, "What’s the kingdom of God like? How can I describe it?"
19It’s like a mustard seed, this dude took and tossed it in his garden; it grew into a massive tree, and birds were chilling in its branches.
20He asked again, "How else can I compare the kingdom of God?"
21It's like yeast, fam, a woman hid it in three bags of flour until everything was lit.
22He was out here vibing through cities and villages, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23Someone asked him, "Yo, Lord, are there only a few getting saved?" And he was like,
24"Strive to get through the narrow gate, 'cause many will try to slide in and can't, fr."
25"Once the boss of the house gets up and locks the door, you’ll be outside knocking, saying, 'Lord, Lord, let us in'; but he’ll be like, 'I don’t know where you’re from, no cap.'"
26Then you'll be like, "We ate and drank with you, and you taught us in our streets."
27But he’ll say, "Nah, I don’t know where you’re from; bounce from me, all you shady peeps."
28There’s gonna be weeping and grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, and you’re out here missing out.
29They’ll come from the east, west, north, and south, and chill in the kingdom of God.
30And, for real, the last will be first, and the first will be last.
31So like, on that same day, some Pharisees rolled up and were like, "Dude, bounce! Herod's out here tryna end you."
32And Jesus was like, "Y'all go tell that sus fox, I’m out here casting out demons and healing peeps today and tomorrow, and on the third day, I’m gonna be goated."
33But for real, I gotta keep moving today, tomorrow, and the next day; it’s just not gonna happen that a prophet gets taken out in Jerusalem.
34Yo Jerusalem, you wild for killing the prophets and stoning those sent to you; I wanted to gather your kids like a hen does with her chicks, but y’all were not vibing with that!
35Check it, your house is left empty, and I’m telling you, you won’t see me again until you say, "Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord."
