Jesus calls people to repent

Luke 13:2-9

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! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 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! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."

The He told them this parable... (sorry jo in advance!lol)

A footy team selected a young bloke from the national draft. He started training with them, but after a while he still hadnt worked himself into the team. The coach got angry, "For three years now we've been waiting for this guy to break into them team, but he cant play any good! Get rid of him! Hes taking up a spot on our list which we could use for a better player!" Then one of the otherblokes said, "No, give him one more year, I'll work intensively with him, train him harder. If he plays well next year, that great! But if not, get rid of him, never to see him again!"

When I read that passage I thought of other people I thought that could apply that to. But, we all need to apply that to ourselves. Where are WE falling down? What part of our life is crap? What part of our life do we need to fix up? Get down on your knees with me and pray!
