20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

 21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

 22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

 23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

 24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Jesus is warning what awaits those who have rejected his message.  There are many today that preach that God is a God of love and that he would never punish us.  They are basically saying we can reject him and live what ever life we chose and still go to heaven.  Well God is a God of love but he is also a God that is going to judge the world for their sins.  Those who have rejected him will have to answer for their rebellion and anybody that says otherwise is preaching falsehood and deceiving their believers.
