A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Mark 1:40 (NIV)
We have been looking at what Jesus Christ is willing to do for us.
Seven times in the Gospels Jesus specifically said that He will do something for us: I will give you rest; I will never drive you away; I will make you fishers of men; I will give you the Holy Spirit; I will confess you before my Father in heaven; I will take you to be with me; I will that you will see my glory.
These are seven commitments that Jesus Christ makes to you, and we have called them “rock solid” promises. If you are a Christian today, take a step back and see the scope of all that is yours in Christ. Behold the big picture—to find joy in it and thank God for it.
But maybe you are not yet committed to Christ. You have been exploring these things, you have been drawn by them—that is why you are reading this. But these promises are not yet yours. Would you like to receive what Christ offers?
Are you ready to cross the line from exploring to receiving, from investigating to believing, from observing to following? Are you ready for Christ’s willingness to become what He actually does in your life?
