"The time has come," [Jesus] said.
"The kingdom of God is near.
Repent and believe the good news!"
Mark 1:15 NIV
I started my new discipleship group this week with this verse. "The time has come," I said to ten men poised on the edge of friendship, faith, and a new adventure. "The time has come."
What are you poised on the edge of? New friendships? Deeper faith? Greater hope? Richer blessings? Bigger joy? or Grander adventures?
The world tries to lead you to a different edge -- a ledge of despair, a precipice of anger, a ridge of insecurity, a canyon of guilt, and a free-fall of fear.
What are you poised on the edge of?
Well, think of the context of Jesus' saying these words. What was "the time [that had] come"? The world was about to meet the Savior and greet the Messiah.
If you want to stand on the precipice of blessing -- instead of the cliff of mediocrity -- it's time to meet the Savior in a new way. What will you start today to make his presence more real in your life?
In Christ's Love,
a mountain climber
(not a cliff diver)
