Jesus is either real and true and
who he says he is, or else you and I have no hope and are greatly to be
pitied. It is that easy.
My experience is that people do
not come to Christ by argument and reason.
They come because God the Father
draws them. Suddenly somewhere – at home
sitting quietly and maybe reading the Bible, at a church service listening to
wonderful praise and worship music, at some service where they are greatly
moved by the Holy Spirit, alone in a car, and countless other places – a person
suddenly realizes that Jesus is real and true and alive and he or she gives
their life to Christ and becomes born again.
They receive a new spirit. They
are a new creation – the old has gone and the new has come. And they have life eternal with Jesus and his
father.
If you believe this is all not
true and refuse to seek and reach out to God, refuse to be open to receive the
truth, you can just discount your existence and throw it away. Because it is nothing more than refuse as you
will end up in the lake of fire for eternity.
I don’t think many want this for themselves or their family members, do
you? So even if you haven’t yet
encountered the Lord, there is hope. And
you should hope and hope and hope, and sincerely cry out for Jesus. Ask him to be your Lord. Tell him you give your life to him. Thank him for what he did on the cross and
ask and receive his forgiveness for your sins in life. He took care of that you know.
Either you accept Jesus or you
have no hope and no future. Now you can
think like some that there is still time, but you don’t know that. The people on Malaysia flight 370 ran out of
time when they boarded the plane and took off.
The students soon to go to college ran out of time when their bus was
struck by a Fed Ex truck in California.
Every day people run out of time, in car accidents and other types of
accidents, in being victims of crimes, in some areas of the world in being
terror victims or war victims and even victims of starvation, and even in just
plain old dying from various diseases and medical maladies. Your neighbor who died from a heart attack
thought he had more time. So too the
young teenager you may know who drove into a tree one night.
This is all real. It is hard to accept for modern day
citizens, especially westerners who are so rational and scientifically based in
their approach to life. But it is true. And all humanity is soon to find out as the
Lord is about to come. Surely you want
to hear his call, the trumpet call, the call of the archangel and to join with
Jesus in the sky when he comes. Surely
you want to go forward with the life he has for you in his Kingdom. Unless you are as dumb as dirt, that is what
you want. You know that. So get started.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
