The Now of Faith

When an opportunity comes to speak out or make a decision that will change many things ~ many of us hesitate. Is this really the right time? Is this what I really need to do? We want all the pieces in place before we risk speaking or acting. We need some assurance ~ somewhere to place our trust.

John the Baptist needed assurance from Jesus too ~ "Are you the one we are to follow?" Jesus' response is wonderful ~ he asks the disciples to tell John what they see and hear: the lame walk, the deaf hear, lepers are cleansed and good news shared.

Jesus broke down stigmas and responded to people in need of love and healing. He spoke out against injustice and offered a new way of life. The call to see, hear and respond is ours as well ~ the time is Now!
