When an important issue came up requiring a decisive yea or nay vote,
a well-known politician (not wanting to make enemies or offend supporters)
repeatedly voted 'Present.' In doing so,
his continual lack of commitment enabled him to do what he wanted
without apparent consequence or judgment by others.
Many people have the same approach when it comes to making a decision about God,
salvation and eternal life. In order to either not offend others and/or
continue to live life without consequence,
pressing the 'Present' button is an easy way to put off making
what is actually the single most important decision in this life.
Regarding what you think or believe happens after this life ends
is entirely up to you. No one is telling you what you must do, think or believe
about this whole 'God-thing,' belief in 'Christ' and a
'need for salvation.' This is a button that some (maybe you?)
are not willing or ready to push...and that again is your choice.
Friend, as today’s verse says, Christ says that he would rather see people
decide to either CHOOSE HIM or REJECT HIM, but when life ends without
making a choice, the 'present' button will not be there.
A vote about your eternity will eventually come up.
What is your decision?
