Matthew 4:17 – From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus’ message was repent.
Repent means to change direction, to turn around. If you’re putting on weight, repent and walk away from the refrigerator. If you’re broke, repent and turn away from the cash register.
Jesus was specifically talking about our spiritual condition. If you aren’t close to God, repent and turn toward Him. If you don’t know Jesus, repent and get to know Him. If sin is causing pain in your life (hint: it is), repent and turn away from it.
Turn from that which isn’t working for you and to the Lord.
If you think this blog is preachy, repent and go read something else.
