It's Never Too Late

 It is now Holy Week. A week of so many feelings. 

The triumph of our Savior riding into Jerusalem as its rightful King. Hopefully riding into our lives as its rightful King. 

The glory of cleansing the temple and cleansing ourselves. 

The teaching and communing. 

The humility of washing of feet. 

The bonding of breaking of bread. 

The healing of the enemy soldier's ear. 

The knowledge of coming betrayal. 

A mockery trial, and accusations from community members. 

The voices screaming for crucifixion. 

The crucifixion in all its cruelty. 

And before His death- an example. 

Two others condemned to die, for reasons unknown to us. Two others in the process of dying. 

One mocking the Savior, asking Him to get himself down and them too. 

The other having none of that and humbly asking to be remembered. 

To which the Savior of all responds, "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." 

It is never too late to humble ourselves and come to our Savior.

At the same time, it is never too early.

It's never too early to walk with Him. To have peace and joy. To be fully loved and to be led away from our sinful ways. It's never too early to be renewed and given hope. 

So if you are wondering if it's too late for you, the answer is-absolutely not! He wants you! Right now, where you are. He loves your willingness to turn to Him. 

He will never force anyone, so this is totally up to you. The good news is, He is right there waiting for you!
