Scripture
The time has come. This is the day for you to be saved.
Observation
Salvation is all God's work. It is not something we do and it isn't something we can earn.
God in his infinite mercy cancels our sin because of the sacrifice he has made for us in Jesus.
All that is left for us to do is to receive the gift he offers.
The response to his grace should be that, like Paul, we go and work as agents of peace and reconciliation- whether by words or direct action.
Application
The time has come. This is the day for you to be saved.
If you do not have Jesus in your life you need salvation.
Do not put off this important decision any longer. I read the other day of a woman who had booked on the Air France flight that crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. She was unable to get to the airport in time and missed the flight. She was thankful to be saved. A few days later she was killed in a car accident.
If you are thinking about following Jesus, but have not yet made that decision, delay no longer. None of us knows what today holds.
Now is the time of salvation.
Prayer
Father I thank you for this wonderful message of reconciliation. We were far away form you, but you sent Jesus as a kind of peace offering. Thank you for coming into my life 33 years ago. I pray that everyone who reads these words will be convinced of the urgency of receiving salvation and that they will take hold of this wonderful gift. Amen.
Amen!
