This is the central message of the Easter story, Repent. At the beginning of the ministry of Jesus, John was preaching in the wilderness and baptising those who repented. ‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ He cried. John 1:23′ You need to repent of your sins. Many followed and obeyed his command. Jesus taught the same message . We need to repent of our wrong doings and follow the Lord. This is an unpopular message these days, but we need to turn to Him.
Over the centuries the message has not changed. I was reminded the other day when Billy Graham came to London in 1954 I was an impressionable 17 year old and joined the large army of volunteers helping with the correspondence. I didn’t meet Billy Graham, but I did meet Jesus, far more important.
The cry to repent will continue until the world ceases. ‘Repent of your sins, there is absolutely no other way to get ourselves right with God but through Jesus. We pray that the world will hear the message.
