Every individual realizes quite soon that life is filled with challenges. Those challenges arise from various sources and present themselves in many ways. Some are great, some are small, but each can become quite important. Because challenges arise in the life of every person, we all must face them.
In most cases we are offered choices. We can choose to face the challenge, fight the challenge or fear the challenge.
Ultimately we decide whether we will move toward the challenge, away from the challenge or seek to avoid the challenge.
Some challenges present us with the opportunity to change. Change is difficult in some cases and is readily embraced in others. Because of the nature of life itself we realize that change is truly inevitable.
So why all this talk about challenge, choice and change?
There are some issues in life that challenge us to a degree.
We choose a direction regarding those issues and change if we feel that to be appropriate. In those cases, the issue is not, as we often say, a life-and-death matter.
On the other hand, some issues demand a response. In fact, there is one issue that is not only a life-and-death matter but also an eternity-impacting matter.
What will you do or have you done with Jesus?
Jesus, God’s only begotten Son, died on the cross of Calvary. He was buried and He arose from the grave. He did so to pay the price for mankind’s sin — man’s rebellion against God. All have sinned.
By believing in Jesus, putting our faith in Him and Him alone, we can be reconciled to God. In fact, there is no other way to be made right with God.
Have you ever faced the challenge of admitting your sin and turning from it? Have you ever made the choice to believe in Jesus and what Jesus has done for you? Have you ever allowed Jesus to change you from above, by being born again?
If not, why not consider that challenge, that choice and that change today — right now?
