Testimonies That Never Close With Christ
Mt 27:2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
I am alarmed of testimonies that have a semblance of repentance to it and yet never close with Christ. Yes, like Judas here, they showed remorse over their sin. Yes, like Judas here, they "threw down the pieces of silver" and yet they never close with Christ.
Yes, true repentance can have displays of remorse. Yes, it throws down the pieces of silver. But it always ends with Christ and His work on the cross. Sadly, many testimonies fall short of it. Every genuine pilgrim comes to Calvary Hill. Every genuinely repentant sinner always comes to Christ and what He did on the cross for the removal of his or her burden.
My friend, are you remorseful because of your sin? Have you slammed sin in your life? Are you trusting in Christ and what He did on the cross for your salvation?
