Get Up!

I was blessed this morning to reflect on the wonderful opportunity of salvation that each Christian has grasped and that each individual can be blessed with.  The reflection came from a passage of healing.  In Mark 10 there is a blind beggar that is hoping to be healed.  He hears that Jesus is coming by and he begins to request Him.  Mark 10:46-50 -... Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 And Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” And they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is calling you.” 50 And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.
As I read that, I cannot help but think that is the opportunity for salvation as well.  Folks, take heart.  Get up and come to Jesus.  Not only did He live for you, die for you, rise again for you, ascend for you, intercede for you, prepare a place for you, but He is coming back for you.  Get Up and come to Jesus!  He is calling you!
What a life-changing message!  Celebrate it by sharing it today!
