Sleeping through a wakeup call from your hotel can lead to
serious consequences - like missing something you really can't afford to
miss. Sleeping through a wakeup call from God can lead to deadly
consequences - like missing the meaning of your life on earth - as well as
the heaven we hope to go to when we die.
Only hours before Jesus was crucified, He asked His close friends
this haunting question - "Are you still sleeping?" (Mark 14:41) It might
be a question Jesus is asking you today - "Are you still sleeping after all
the wakeup calls I've given you? After all the reminders and opportunities
I've given you to get things settled with Me?"
Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life on that cross so you
wouldn't have to die for your sins. He is not asking you to join a
religion or go through some rituals. He's asking you to commit your life
to the One who gave His life for you. But you've been putting Him off,
pursuing other things, maybe hiding behind some excuses, or hoping that all
the Christians and Christianity you know will somehow be enough. You can
lock Jesus out rudely or you can do it politely. Either way, He's still
not in your life and you're still what He calls "lost."
