Shopping for cars is not my favorite thing to do. I’m one of those people who can’t just go and buy a car. I have to research about each brand, consider the options, safety features, and customer reviews, and then drive several vehicles, before I finally make a choice.
The problem is there are so many choices out there. I always laugh when a salesperson puts the pressure on me to “Buy Now!” They gravely warn me that this deal won’t last, that someone else might snap up this bargain if I wait. I smile and look at my list and move on to the next dealer. If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that there is always another deal, always another car.
When it comes to our salvation that’s not true, however. There’s only one option out there – Jesus Christ. “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 NIV.
Don’t waste your time shopping around. Jesus is the best deal you’ll ever find! But, don’t forget, this is a limited-time offer. Jesus is coming soon to take His children home. Make sure you don’t miss out this one-time event. “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” Isaiah 55:6.
I know if I look hard enough I’ll find the right car. In the same way, God promises,”You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13. This morning, make seeking Him your first priority and when you find Him give your heart. He’s the best deal ever!
