Thought For Today

Decision Time


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 10th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go straight to the Gospel of Mark 10:28-30:

Then Peter began to say to Him (to Jesus), “See, we have left all and followed You.” So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time…” 

We will just stop there.

I really believe that today is decision time for you and for me. Are we going to follow Him with all our hearts? Are we going to be like the rich young ruler who walked away because he couldn’t? He couldn’t give it all up for Jesus’ sake. Jesus didn’t want it, He was just testing him, but he failed the test. I want to ask you today, are you counting the cost? You see, when you make a decision for Jesus, you could be mocked even by your very own family. It could cost you your relationship with your girlfriend, your boyfriend. Yes, it could cost you a job promotion. If you have made a decision to follow Jesus, it could cost you your very own life! 

Remember Jim Elliot, that young 29-year-old man with his beautiful young wife and his baby daughter, who went to the Amazon Jungle to preach the Gospel to those who didn’t know Jesus. It cost him his life; they killed him. He said and I quote: “It is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” What can’t you keep? You can’t keep your own life, and when you make a decision for Jesus, you can’t lose. You have eternal life waiting for you. Today, you need to decide. Remember that song? We haven’t sung one for a while, have we? Sing it with me, “I have decided to follow Jesus.”

I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, praise the Lord, no turning back

The world behind me and the cross before me
The world behind me and the cross before me
The world behind me and the cross before me
No turning back, praise the Lord, no turning back.

Don’t turn back now - It is too late! Jesus is not coming soon, He is on His way I tell you. Have a wonderful day, stand strong and He will stand with you. A very good day to you!

God bless you and goodbye.
