And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Acts 2:21
This passage is written after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ; the disciples have been hiding in the upper room and many have feared for their very lives… Through this trying time, Jesus shows himself unto the disciples to reignite their faith… This passage starts out with the words, “And it shall come to pass”… Though we suffer for a moment, the promises of God “shall come to pass”, even though we face trials, hardships, and adversity we are reminded today that the fulfillment of God’s promises are not notated by an “if” but “when”… Through Jesus death, we all were given a chance to inherit eternal life… Through His suffering, the path was paved for all mankind to change direction and not be condemned according to the sin we were born in… The Bible tells us that we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; understand that we all have done things we wish we could change or have made decisions that weren’t the right ones… Luke writes today in the book of Acts that we all have a chance to right our wrongs, we have an opportunity to change our direction, and we have been given an opening to improve our future and outlook on life! Today, stop trying to figure things out on your own, stop trying to handle every situation and turn to the Lord. The time has come and is upon us where we shall be saved… Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord (there is only one Lord) shall be saved! Jesus came for the sick, not the healthy! He came for the ones who sought the wrong pleasures, the ones who engaged in the wrong activities, the ones who are lost and confused… He stretched his arms out for those people, He died for all! If you look at your past, you will know that your name was written in His thoughts and was purified as the blood came trickling down His face! Again, this verse starts by saying, “And it shall come to pass…” You will be saved, you will be victorious, and you will overcome when Christ returns…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
