Matthew 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
I find it interesting Jesus chose to start His ministry with similar words John chose – come and say you are sorry and let’s get things started.
Too often we take on the attitude we are right and everyone else is wrong, and where does it get us? We get deeper and deeper into trouble as we continue saying the wrong things!
Jesus simply wants us to admit we are wrong and move on; don’t expect God to change to suit our ways of life and don’t expect the world to change to suit our needs!
But thank goodness we have a God who does forgive and bring us back in the fold!
