Hang UP!

Have you ever received a phone call and, when you have seen who is calling you, simply hang up? Serious callers wait for the beep and leave their message. We can tell when a caller is not serious or eager to talk with us because, at the mention of “please leave a message,” the line goes dead. Someone has hung up on you. One of our phone’s luxury features is caller ID. We can see who is calling or who has called, which determines if and when we answer or return the call. But as a Christian, how do we know when Jesus is calling? When Jesus asked if his disciples would desert him, “Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life’” (John 6:68, ESV). Jesus alone offers eternal life. Jesus was affirmed by God Himself: “‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him’” (Matthew 17:5, ESV). If you have answered the call of Jesus, you are called to follow him. “‘My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me’” (John 10:27, ESV). Christian, stay on the line and follow the Good Shepherd closely!

Jesus will never hang up on you! “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13, KJV). “All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out” (John 6:37, ESV). “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price” (Revelation 22:17, ESV). Why would you want to hang up on Jesus? Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and perfector of our faith.

2Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
