Lucas A Time to Decide
What will you have for breakfast this morning?
Which school should you attend in the fall?
Who will you marry?
CHOOSING – something we do day in and day out. Some decisions are very simple and unimportant, but others can mean the difference between life and death.
We are all travelers on the road of life. We have a start in life and someday we will all reach the end of the road. We are not robots that are pre-programmed to our destiny. We have the God-given responsibility and privilege of free choice. We choose our route and we end up at the destination.
It comes down to this. We are all headed toward an eternal destination in one of two places. Either heaven or hell. We do not deserve heaven because we have ignored God and left Him out of our lives. But in His grace, He holds out a hand of mercy. This hand of mercy is the offer of salvation through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died upon the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. He rose from the dead three days later, and now God offers this unconditional pardon to every person on earth. But each person has to make the all-important choice: either to accept God’s offer of forgiveness and a home in heaven, or to reject it. It is your decision.
What do you choose? For the coming of the Lord is near…
Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44
