Destiny

 

Please read Mark 11:1-11

If you have a destiny to fulfill there comes a day, there is a context and there is a moment when a decision is required.

Your destiny does not just happen. You find yourself turning this way not that way, approaching this person not that one, facing the challenge or walking away.

Perhaps no one else knows if you turned away from your destiny, but if you have turned away from it, you know.

Several young people are planning to make a decision this Sunday which may very well be their destiny.

They have been preparing in the baptism class, growing in faith and in the understanding of what it means to believe in Jesus as Savior and how to serve him.

But they must decide.

I told them yesterday, this may be one of the first decisions that they must make on their own. Their parents cannot decide for them like they might sign them up for a soccer league or something similar.

What we expect, is that when they step forward and make this commitment, that this faith to which they are committing will shape and color every thought, feeling and action in their lives from this time forward.

Jesus turned toward Jerusalem. These children will turn toward Jesus and journey with him for a lifetime.

Moving to the deeper places,
