Decision?

For Sunday, September 26, 2021

Mark 8:21 NLT: “Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked the disciples.”

I feel like the human side of Jesus was getting a little frustrated, a little fed-up with people not believing and understanding what they had seen with their own eyes. The Pharisees were questioning everything which is to be expected, but his own disciples? Jesus wants them to ‘get it,’ and then lock it in their minds, making a lifetime commitment to the truth.

Jesus questioned his followers: “You have eyes—can’t you see? You have ears—can’t you hear? When I fed the 5,000, how many baskets of leftovers did you pick up?

“Twelve.”

“And when I fed the 4,000, how many baskets of leftovers did you pick up?”

“Seven.”

Jesus and his Father expect us all to use our eyes, ears and minds to decide once and for all who Jesus is, and to make a decision, to make an irrevocable commitment to the Lord. That way we’ll have hope!

Today is the accepted day to come to the Lord.
