Salvation is God’s Work Not Ours (Lk 13:1-9)

As in Jesus's day today some people still believe God punishes sinners with illness suffering and death. These are rather the consequences of our sin, that God does allow. However God does not desire that we die in our sin, rather he sends his son to save us from the consequences of sin which is death.  Death becomes a servant of God that reminds us all of our need to repent and accept the salvation one for us by Jesus not our good works.
