What Will You Do?
He was born in a bed of straw in a tiny middle-eastern town to parents who had not yet been married on the day He was conceived. Shortly after His birth, His family was forced to flee the country amidst threats of genocide. By the age of 12, with His family now back home, He began making a name for Himself. By age 30, He began full-time work as a Religious Teacher. However, He was not just any Teacher. He was the Teacher that all the other Teachers despised. And why? For one, he was more popular. But more than that, He was arrogant. Proud. Too sure of Himself, and too sure of where He came from. He claimed to be special. He said He was with God in the beginning. He said He’d seen Heaven with His own two eyes, and was sent from Heaven. He said He was the only son of God, eternal. He said that death had no hold on Him. He said if His body was destroyed, He would rise again 3 days later. He said the highest place in Heaven was reserved for Him. He said the seat at the right hand of God was meant for Him. He said every knee, including yours and mine, would bow beneath Him. He said every tongue, including yours and mine, would confess His Lordship. He said there was only one way into Heaven, and that was through Him. He said Heaven only had one gate, and He was the gate. He said you have a problem and He is the solution. He said He loves you. He said He died on the cross for you. He said He would give you life. He said He’d open the gates of Heaven for you. He said He’d give you rest, give you peace, give you right standing with God. He said He’d never leave you. He said He’d be with you always. He said He’d never lie to you. He said the words He spoke were life and truth. He said He was Lord, Savior, Messiah, Redeemer, Jesus the Christ.
He said all He asks for in return is our hearts; that we trust and believe in Him and commit to follow Him for the rest of our lives.
