Piercing Eyes

You wake up one day (or so you think) in a white room with no windows seated at a white desk. A door suddenly opens and a man appears. As he approaches,he is calm, does not speak, and clothed in a white robe. Scared and disoriented you look and see the visible holes in both his hands, scars from flogging across his neck and sides of his face, his forehead depicts deeply pressed thorns that look extremely painful. You quickly realize you are in the room with Jesus. It is just YOU and HIM! He sits directly across from you, still not speaking he looks directly at you with those piercing eyes; it is if he is seeing right through you. You begin to shake, sweat, tremble and have a hard time looking directly at him. After what seems like an eternity, he finally speaks…hello my son/daughter, today is judgment day. A series of questions come directly at you, he NEVER stops staring directly into your eyes, and he doesn’t need a notepad to look down to reference. Did you seek ME for a relationship? Did you come to ME for advice? Did you read what I left for you? Did you leave a legacy that others will know ME? Were you a spiritual leader? As he finishes, he pauses and waits. It is your turn, he has all the time you need, it is YOU and HIM, no distractions, no iphone, no ipad, no ESPN, no hiding behind someone, no calling a friend. Do you look directly into his piercing eyes or are you struggling to keep eye contact? Do you find yourself looking away as you answer? Or do you simply not have an answer? In the meantime, you are thinking in your mind…I wasn’t ready for this!! Let me go back!! I can make this right!! I was going to start doing these things!! Oh NO here I am!!

What a meeting huh? The wonderful news is you can start right now making things right, so when this meeting happens you can set at the desk staring directly into his piercing eyes and answer all his questions calmly with a firm YES.

The choice is yours.
