Hollywood often portrays the devil in silly ways?
Actually, we need to more concerned about the sin
in us, rather than the evil out there!

Now there were some present at that time who
told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate
had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered,
"Do you think that these Galileans were worse
sinners than all the other Galileans because they
suffered this way? I tell you, no!
4
Jesus pulls us back to what is really important.
But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
5
Jesus shares another example Or those eighteen
who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them-do
you think they were more guilty than all the
others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no!

Then he told this parable "A man had a fig tree,
planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for
fruit on it, but did not find any. So he said to
the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three
years now I've been coming to look for fruit on
this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down!
Why should it use up the soil?'
12
"'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for one
more year, and I'll dig around it and fertilize
it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not,
then cut it down.'" --Luke131-9
