Ponder This
Have you decided on Jesus? I remember when I did. I was sitting in Northwood Baptist Church. I’d never gone to church, but somebody came and invited my parents to a revival meeting. I knew what it was to tell lies, to take God’s name in vain, to take things that didn’t belong to me, to cheat in school, and to get in street fights. I needed to be saved.
My dad sat as the preacher preached. And when the preacher gave an invitation, my dad got up and started down that aisle. I couldn’t believe it. There went my daddy! I looked up to him so much that when my dad got up, it was just like a stake in my heart. I thought, “Well, if my daddy needs to be saved, I surely need to be saved,” and I went down that aisle, right after my dad.
I didn’t know much. I was just giving all I knew of me to all I knew of Jesus, but it was enough, bless God. I’ve learned a lot more and I’ve done a lot more repenting after I got saved than I did that day.
Some years ago, I went back to that little church. I went in. I found that same spot. I got down on my knees, and I thanked the Lord that by His grace He enabled me to make a decision. That decision changed my life. Has Jesus changed everything for you?
- When did you surrender to Jesus and trust Him for salvation? If you haven’t done so, how might He be speaking to you about that today?
- How has the trajectory of your life been changed because of Jesus?
