How does this statement reconcile with John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Either He cares or He does not care if we reject His word. Is it "petty" for Him to demand we keep His word?
The prime question one should ask himself is, Who is Lord? Because, how can we say Jesus is Lord and we decide what is important and what is petty?
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Jesus did not speak about petty things when he was on this earth. Most petty things that are attributed to God are really constructs of man.
**Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?**
Good one. A rebuke to be received by all of us.
