In a world that feels like it’s spiraling toward chaos, where each day brings new challenges and uncertainties, it is imperative that we anchor ourselves in something eternal. It is imperative that we find Jesus Christ today, not tomorrow or next week, but today, before it is too late. Considering the fleeting nature of time and the unpredictable nature of life, we must seek salvation now, embracing the hope and redemption that is available through faith in Him.
There is a relentless pace to life. One moment, we’re caught up in our daily routines—work, meetings, future plans—and the next, we’re confronted with jarring disruptions. What appeared stable crumbles as global tensions rise, conflicts erupt, and conflict erupts. As we scroll through headlines, see breaking news interrupting our lunch, or experience moments of crisis, we are reminded that tomorrow is never guaranteed. In a world that can change in an instant, waiting to seek Jesus risks losing the opportunity to find peace and purpose.
We should not procrastinate when it comes to our spiritual journey. James 4:14 reminds us that life is a mist that appears for a short period of time and then disappears. The Son of Man will appear at an hour when you do not expect Him. As Jesus himself stressed in Matthew 24:44, “You must be ready as well.” The unpredictability of life’s events, personal trials, or global upheavals underscores the need to seek Christ before the moment slips away from us.
Finding Jesus is not about fearmongering or dwelling on apocalyptic scenarios; it is about embracing the transformative power of His love and grace. As well as offering forgiveness for our sins, he provides hope in the face of despair, as well as a promise of eternal life. According to John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Faith is a gift that is freely offered, but that must be accepted by the individual. If you delay making this decision, you risk being caught unprepared when life’s uncertainties occur.
In the world, we are often distracted from this truth, believing we have time to figure things out later. We chase ambitions, acquire possessions, or seek temporary comforts, only to discover they cannot satisfy the deeper longings of our souls.
“Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had labored to achieve, all of it was meaningless. It was like chasing after the wind.” True fulfillment does not come from worldly pursuits but from a relationship with Jesus, who calls us to a higher purpose.
Getting to know Jesus requires repentance, belief, and surrender. We must admit that our sins separate us from God and that we require a Savior. Thankfully, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross bridges the gulf between us and our Creator. We receive God’s grace and eternal life as well as reconciliation with Him when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. The decision we make affects not only our eternal destiny, but also how we deal with life’s uncertainties in the present.
Our world is unpredictable, so choosing this path becomes even more urgent. Whether it’s a personal loss, a societal upheaval, or the return of Christ, we can’t predict when a crisis will strike. In Hebrews 3:15, we are told, “Today, if you hear His voice, don’t harden your hearts.” The call to find Jesus is a call to act now, to seek Him in sincerity and humility before time runs out.
While we take stock of the fleeting nature of life, let us not be paralyzed by fear, but motivated by hope. Jesus offers a peace beyond understanding (Philippians 4:7), a peace that guides us through the storms of life. The choice to follow Him is the most important decision we will ever make, and it must be made today. He is the light that guides us, the strength that sustains us, and the Savior who redeems us.
Events in the world remind us that tomorrow is unpredictable, and Jesus wants us to be with him urgently. Seek Him now, through prayer, through His Word, and open your heart to His love. This is before another day dawns, before life’s uncertainties overwhelm. He waits with open arms.
