WHAT IS YOUR DESCION ABOUT JESUS CHRIST?
“Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the
teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision, they bound
Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. …knowing it was out of envy
that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him … wanting to satisfy the
crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged and handed him
over to be crucified.” Mark 15:1, 10, 15
Even the chief priest, elders, scribes and the whole council
reached a decision as to what they will do with Jesus the Christ; though theirs
was not the best: but under such greater conviction and truth we have decided
to close our ears and shut our hearts to the salvation he brings to all because
of Worldly pleasures, Persecution, religious pressures and heritage, peer
pressure and the fear of rejection; many have become blinded by the desperate pursuit
to be successful in life. Make a decision about Jesus while there is still time.
A wavering man has no place in the plans of God to rescue mankind
in the last day. A delayed decision is not a safety tactics it only compounds
the problems and exposes you to a greater risk of regretting the delay to take
a stand. Neutrality in the matters of life, death and eternity is not a decision;
it rather works negativity in ones eternal destination.Joshua said to the house
of Israel “… and if it seems evil unto you toserve the Lord, chose you
this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods of which your fathers serves … or
the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house,
we will serve the Lord. And the people answered and said. God forbid that we
should forsake the Lord to serve other gods” Joshua 24: 14-16“And Elijah went
before the people and said, “how long will you waver between two opinions if
the LORD is God, follow him but if ball is God follow him” 1 Kings 18:21
Your decisions in life ultimately determine your destination. There
is a consequence for every decision taken so be careful which you take. The
Holy book has given guide to all who wish to be directed in this maze like
situation called life. “I call heaven and earth to record this day
against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing;
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19. It is obvious that
many will love to chose life so as to live but the world we are in is
surrounded by death. “ … Worldly sorrows brings death” 2 Cor. 7:10 and
men wine and dine with death drinking, eating, swallowing and digesting it,
some ignorantly and others very much consciously. This is through our
desperateness to fulfill our desires and sin,“but each one is tempted when
by his own evil desires, he is dragged away and enticedby his own evil desires,
he is dragged away and enticed then after desires has conceived it gives birth
to sin; and sin, when it is full- grown, gives birth to death.” James 1: 14,15.
Jesus alone is the life; a rejection of him is a rejection of life. “in
him was life; and the life was the light of men … he was in the world and the
world was made by him and the world did not know Him. John 1:4, 10
The council of Sanhedrin had a lot of other options to pick from
about Jesus Christ but they reached the decision of not only rejecting Jesus
and his saving grace, they bound him, handed him over to Pilate, demanded and
become instrumental to his crucifixion. We are not guiltless of this actions
either, at those times like now; that you are reading this little pieces of
paper when you are faced with the gospel truth, about the sacrificial death of
Christ and his coming to give us salvation and deliver us from the consequences
of Sin, Death, Enmity with God and eternal condemnation in the infernal hell;
but reject his love and call to receive him into our lives.
(Mark 15: 10-15). After a brief discussion with Jesus Pilate locked his heart to the
Truth about Jesus but he came to a conclusion that there was no fault in him.
He came face to face with the decision to accept Jesus, release Him and embrace
the Truth He (Christ) represents but he made the decision to please the Crowd.John
18: 30 -38.
Are you interested in pleasing the crowd? Your parents? Your Boss
or colleagues at work? friends, Husband/wife?Etc. He is before you now. What is
your decision about Jesus Christ. Judas betrayed him, Peter denied Him, Pilate
condemned him, Israel rejected him. What will you do withhim.“How shall
we escape if neglect so great salvation, which at the first began to be spoken
by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing
witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the
Holy Spirit, according to His own will” Heb. 2:3-4Jesus Loves You! Say
this prayer with me if it is your decision to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord
and Saviour today.
