To be blunt..... Heaven or Hell?

One day some teachers of religious law and Pharisees came to Jesus and said, "Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign to prove your authority." —Matthew 12:38

Sometimes we think that if we could do a miracle our friends would come to faith in Christ. We might be thinking, If I could just pray and this person was healed.... they would believe right there.  But you know what? That wouldn't convince them. Even though Jesus raised people from the dead and even after He was bodily raised from the dead and people saw Him with their own eyes... they still rejected Him.

The religious leaders went to Jesus one day and asked Jesus for a "miraculous sign". They were basically saying, "Hey, do a trick for us, Jesus!" But Jesus told them, "Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights" (Matthew 12:39-40).

What Jesus was telling them was "Here is my sign to a lost world: I am going to a cross. I will die, and I will rise again from the dead. You can accept that and be forgiven, or you can reject that and not be forgiven. So that is your choice."

And that is our choice as well. What will you do with Jesus? To accept in faith what Jesus has done for you and be forgiven .... you just have to pray these words and you will be written in the book of Life! Question is Heaven or hell?

"God, I know I'm a sinner. I know I'm not perfect. But I want You to come into me life. Be my God for the rest of my life. I turn from my sin now. Help me to stay with you all the days of my life. In Jesus' name, Amen"
