Q15: Matthew 11:22-24 — If Sodom would have repented at Jesus's miracles, why didn't Jesus go to Sodom? Christians need not have an answer to every question

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 22) 00:52:09 – 00:55:14

Viewer Lawrence H asks why Jesus did not perform miracles in Sodom to prevent its destruction, given Jesus's statement in Matthew 11.

Mike begins with an important apologetic principle: a Christian is not required to have the best answer to every question — 'I don't know' means only that you don't know, not that Christianity is false. He reads Matthew 11:22-24, where Jesus condemns Galilean cities for rejecting his miracles, saying Sodom would have repented at the same works. The cities that rejected Jesus had a greater revelation (prophecy, Scripture, miracles, God in person) and thus bear greater responsibility. Sodom's lower responsibility means a less severe judgment.
