What Will You Do With Jesus
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH JESUS?
Matthew 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Pilate was faced with a problem, he had before him an innocent man and a guilty man Barabbas, and the people wanted the guilty man released. According to their custom he was obligated to let him go. He then asked what they would have him do with Jesus the Christ and they wanted him crucified. Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, his wife even warned him to have nothing to do with Jesus for she also knew that Jesus was innocent. But Pilate asked the people what he should do with Jesus. They gave their answer and even though Pilate was the governor he gave in to the people’s demand and was consenting to Jesus’ crucifixion. But going along with the crowd Pilate made a decision himself what to do with Jesus.
Man has been faced with this same question down through the ages, “What shall I do with Jesus”? We today have to answer that same question. I know of many that have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and received Him unto them selves and have been gloriously saved. While I have seen men reject Him in many services and walk out as they came in without hope and lost. You might say just because I didn’t go to the alter and accept Christ in the service doesn’t mean I rejected Him. I beg to differ. When the gospel is presented unto one, they have only TWO choices to accept the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ or to reject the gospel. When people say no they are not saying no to you they are saying no to Jesus. Man has come up with a multitude of excuses as to why he doesn’t accept Christ, a more convenient time, I can’t live it, I’m going to some day and the list goes on and on. When you stand before the Throne of Judgment none of these will stand. Either you accept Him or reject Him, plain and simple.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
So I will ask you what will “YOU”, do with Jesus the Christ? If you are reading this and have never accepted Him as Lord, I would beg you to before it is too late. If you die without Him you will have an eternity full of regrets in torment. If you have accepted Him and been saved by His amazing grace, I say hallelujah! What are you doing for Him now? Works will not save you but you will want to serve Him because you are saved. Think about that.
Have a great day!
