Repentance
Read Acts 17.29-31
“.. but now He commands all people everywhere to repent ..” (Acts 17.30)
His story has a terminal point! A day of accounting for each and every person is nearer now than ever – a solemn truth evidenced, the Scriptures insist, God’s having raised Jesus from the dead. Now is the time of God’s favour: repenting is a ‘now’ activity.
Are there matters in your life of which you need to repent?
Justice remains a big concern today: how does the fact that Jesus was raised from the dead demonstrate that there will be a day when justice is dispensed?
Prayer: If You, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord who could stand? But with You there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve You (Ps.130.3f). Thank You, Lord.
