Jesus, Take the wheel.

Do you drive your life in the fast lane? In such a rush every day, you forget to bow your head and pray.

There is a destination we are all going to at the end of this life, and we don’t know when our last day will be. You can drive yourself to your destination of your own beliefs, or you can let Jesus take the wheel, and take you where He wants you to be in the end.

I would rather live my life believing, with Jesus at the wheel directing me each day, then to find out that when I die, my non-belief and direction was wrong.

God doesn’t send people to hell, we drive ourselves there. He is, was, and always will be a loving God. He loved us so much, “He gave His one and only Son...” (John 3: 16-21).  I love verse 17 and 18, “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, But to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned...”  So if you choose to continue to live in the fast lane like you don’t care, or choose not to believe the God of the bible, than you made your choice. Verse 19 gives you, “The verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness... because their deeds were evil.”

Isaiah 53 tells us about Jesus, who would suffer for our sins. You could read about Jesus being led away to be crucified in Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. Your choice to seek Him.

When God put His Son in our place, He did not spare Him. You and I can’t even imagine the physical agony that He went through in the garden, and at the crucifixion, but the spiritual alienation from His Father was the ultimate torture Jesus was dreading.  At the crucifixion, “Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'My God, my God why have you forsaken me?'” (Mark 15: 34).  In the garden, our Savior was dreading what He was going to face at the crucifixion, saying, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” (Mark 14: 34).  Though He was the Son of God, he was fully human, with our feelings of overwhelming fear, and the pain of the flogging.

So you have to ask yourself, If God did not spare His own Son, how much less will He spare those who choose not to believe the blood of Christ? What an awful cry of the innocent Son of God. What will your cry be? Will you feel forsaken in the end, or welcomed?

We all will have to give an answer one day with what we believe, and what we did with the precious Son of God.

I say, “Jesus take the wheel, cause I can’t do it on my own.”

Grace and peace to you
