Today’s Thought “The KING Is Coming…” G. Ward

Matthew 4

¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

 

From the beginning of man, his Creator has enabled the conduit of Life as the greatest accompaniment. There’s yet a complacency throughout every generation of man, that ultimately translates rejection of any to absolutely rule over their lives. The spiritual compelling from John the Baptist’s message of the “kingdom at hand” was indicative of relinquishing custody of oneself (to this Great King), before it’s too late and whereas Jesus’ elaboration (in the same as His forerunner - *Mal.3:1) would occur, many would fail to accommodate its Messenger(s). The disregard from many however, never witnessed their relent; but these would understand mankind’s rebellion needed a Savior – despite our sinfulness (cf. Ro.5:6-8), and before receiving HIM, ours must seek HIS forgiveness of the numerous times of foolish neglect to adhere to the price HE paid on our behalf – through concession that submits, “I need Thee, every hour!”
