Some Things to Think About

What were you thinking about just before you picked up this tract? Most likely you were concerned with daily things like your work, family, or personal matters. Or maybe you were thinking about politics, sports, or something else.

More importantly, when was the last time you stopped to think about your eternal future? Let me take a minute to share God’s thoughts with you. After all, God has said, “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:9).

“What do you think about the Christ?” (Matthew 22:42). This question above any other determines your eternal future. God has said, “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36). What do you think of Jesus? Who is He and why did He come?

“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?” (Matthew 18:12). These are Jesus’ own words describing His mission on this earth. He didn’t come to be a great teacher or leader or merely to set an example—He came to seek us who “like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6). “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost” (Matthew 18:11).

When Jesus died on the cross, He bore the punishment for your sins. Now He calls on you to believe in Him. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:16,17).

“What do you think?” This question was asked about Jesus during His trial. The answer came quickly—“He is deserving of death” (Matthew 26:66). Do you join with those whose self-righteousness and hatred of God’s way drove them to crucify Jesus or do you believe that Jesus is “the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20)?

“The Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). After Jesus rose victoriously from the dead and ascended back into heaven, angels told His disciples that “This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). Jesus is coming back to take all who believe in Him to be with Him in heaven. After that, He will return, “in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God” (2 Thessalonians 1:8).

So now I ask you again, what do you think about Jesus? You must think about your eternal future before it is too late. Turn to Christ now, repent of your sins, and trust Him and His finished work for your eternal salvation. “He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24).
