Luke 13:1-9

Compare Matthew 21:18-19; Mark 11:12-14

 

The point here seems to be twofold:

 

1) Destruction, death, and disaster aren’t, in and of themselves, indicators that the victims were unusually wicked.

 

But . . .

 

2)  Destruction, death, and disaster will eventually come upon the wicked.
