"I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
Father it is an odd curious thing that the word repent is vilified. When it is to me one of the sweetest words of grace. It is a blessing to feel or express sincere regret, a remorse about one's wrongdoing that separates us from You Almighty. There are remedies to all kinds of illnesses, and we eagerly desire the prescription. The will to live is a strong force within us, but when it comes to eternal life many deny it is a destiny. Your word teaches us the manner in which a person dies is not a measure of righteousness, but not to die outside Your grace and care. Father today I pray that those who have ears to hear would harken and turn and come to Jesus the great physician, the healer of our broken souls. Repenting and believing He came to save us from our sin by taking our punishment on the cross and raising from the dead to reveal His deity. This Christmas Father may many receive the greatest gift ever given; an eternity secured in heaven with You forever. It is a joyful thing to feel conviction in our souls as it leads us to repentance and with it comes forgiveness from our sin.
