Fall at His Feet

“Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, and seeing him, he fell at his feet” (Mark 5:22, ESV).

Oh, how we need to fall at the feet of Christ! As Christians, Jesus resides in our hearts, but even so, we need to go to him on our knees, reaching out to him in our desperation.

If you don’t know Jesus, I can tell you that he loves you even though you rebelled against him to live a selfish life. He died for your sins and rose again on the third day. The Bible declares this event to be true, and more than five hundred witnesses saw him.

There is proof that Jesus rose again on the third day, and now he is alive forevermore. If you receive him into your heart, you can be forgiven of all your sins and have a fresh start. The Bible says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Friend, you can run from where you are and fall at his feet just as Jairus did. You might be stuck in a cycle of religion, just going to church and going through the empty motions. But you can run to Jesus in your desperation and say, “Jesus, I cry out to you for faith that comes by hearing the Word of God!”

That is the gospel in a nutshell, and you can receive him as your Lord and Savior today!
