John 5:24
“It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.”
“I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.”
The tyranny of the urgent is rampant in our fast-paced society. Christ calls us to make him the urgent focus of our lives. The world’s urgency will not bring us in from the cold. Christ does.
Thank you for the warmth of your arms. Keep me focused on you so I can stay there!
