Will you jump?

Thursday January 15th, Mark 1: 4 And so John came, baptizing in the desert region and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. John offered them the hope of turning their life around and finding in that stream a connection to that vast flowing life in God. For many, life was filled with lots of questions and few answers. When they came to John they did not find answers, they found a journey. What they found was not someone to fix their problems, but someone to help them face their problems. Sometimes in facing our problems we can find answers. Sometimes all we find is awareness. And we always find we do not journey alone. John called them to repent; Jesus calls them to receive forgiveness and life eternal. What questions will you face today? What journey is Jesus calling you to? Will you jump in the water or stand on the banks and watch? Come to the waters and live!
