Mark 1:14-15 - Urgency of the gospel

Scripture:

Mark 1:14-15
14 Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
NASU


Thoughts:

It's impossible to miss the sense of urgency in the Lord's words.  Now was and is the time for people to repent and believe the good news of Christ.

Christian, we must be on guard against being wooed to sleep by the daily grind.  Today, decisions could be made of eternal significance by those around you.  Today, you might help them enter a relationship with the King of kings, to pass from death into life!

For those who have not entered into faith in Christ, what are you waiting for?  It will never be more convenient, more simple, or more important than it is, today.  No one knows if they will have a tomorrow.  Today we must decide if we will receive His forgiveness:

Hebrews 4:6-7
6 Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before,

"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,
DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."
NASU


Prayer:

Lord, help me to see the urgency of the gospel, as You do.  Help me to respond to Your voice, today.

Amen
