The Kingdom Has Come

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. Mark 1:15

In Mark, this is how Jesus begins His ministry. By the Spirit of faith, I see that there is no more waiting, the time is fulfilled. And, since the kingdom of God is at hand, then Jesus as God has come in the form of a man who can be seen, heard and touched. Repent speaks to all that I was and believed in before Him. Repenting of all of that, I turn to the Lord Jesus and set aside all unbelief for faith in Him alone. And this belief in the gospel is to believe in the good news of Jesus Christ. And finally this statement forces that choice we heard from C.S. Lewis: This man making this enormous statement is a crackpot who actually believes it though it cannot be true, or he knows that it is false and he is the worst of liars, or, all of it is perfectly true and He is the Son of God. He is who He is, but we each must make that choice to believe or to deny.

So, from faith to faith we follow our Lord Jesus,

Bucky
