Repent...

..."For the Kingdom of Heaven is near." (Matthew 3:2) One of the most well known verse of the Bible, but do we really take John the Baptist's words to our heart? Are we turning towards our Savior to transform our minds away from the sin we are now aware of committing, or do we choose to live in it?  From the act of free will, Jesus Christ gives us the choice to accept Him as our resurrected Savior, here to rescue us from condemnation, death, and bondage.  So why do we choose at times to stay in this place? Why does our flesh feel more comfortable in the predictability of known mediocre comfort rather than true Freedom, living in each moment God has graciously given us.  So, we can sit here and say over and over again..."What is wrong with us?" But no matter how hard we TRY, we are sinners, fallen into a life of sin, trapped and dying slowly everyday by the feeding of our lowly nature into a place of darkness.  But then a light shines, to remind us that Jesus Christ went to the cross to set us free, to save us from this place of hopeless death.  In Him, we find True Life, only pure and blameless when coated in His Glorified Love.
