No Time Like Now


Jeremy Jernigan – Executive Pastor of Creative Arts

This weekend we concluded our “Get Ready” series with a sermon on Luke 12:54-59. In this passage, Jesus scolds a crowd for being able to predict routine weather patterns yet failing to recognize His Messiahship by all of His incredible healings, miracles, and exorcisms. In the second part of his address, Jesus compares the crowd to a person being dragged off to a judge in order to convey a sense of urgency.

This passage contradicts the common “meek and mild” perception of Jesus with the far more accurate and polarizing message of the Son of God. In these three verses Jesus uses the metaphors of fire (representing the presence, judgment, and purification of God) and His baptism (not in the Jordan River, but His future suffering and crucifixion) to explain the tough times that were quickly approaching. Jesus then went on to describe that His message and sacrifice for all mankind will cause division. Choosing to live for Jesus will certainly cause a rift in some relationships, and the reason is because it is a decision we all have to make. Jesus drew a line in the sand that divides His followers from all the rest; it is up to us to decide which side we are on. Which side will you choose?
