Diverging Paths Require a DecisionHow would you have reacted if you came face to face with Jesus, God with us, during the early years of the first century? Would you have been one who followed Him or one who feared Him? Throughout the gospels, when people encountered Jesus they had to make a choice. Many believed in Him as the Son of God. Others condemned Him whether for their own selfish reasons or out of the fear of the changes that He would bring. And many in between put off their decision, which was a negative decision in itself, by their very resistance to accept Him. Remaining neutral was not an option. It's also not an option today. Encounters with Jesus will inform you, inspire you, and call you to Him. But that is just the beginning!
