Now is the Day of Salvation

"And many came to Him, and they kept saying, John did not perform a [single] sign or miracle, but everything John said about this Man was true. And many [people] there became believers in Him. [They adhered to and trusted in and relied on Him.]" (John 10:41-42, Amplified)

John the Baptist did no miracles.  Yet, he came as the last old testament prophet, the final  prophet of the covenant of law pointing the way to the long awaited Messiah and the new covenant of grace. 

His was a special calling, a special office.  John alone would say, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! No longer would his prophetic utterance be a gesture for the future, but now in that moment of time, an act of submission and allegiance to a tangible living person.  The Son of God had come in the flesh. 

Jesus has come!  He is here on the earth through the Comforter He sent when He returned to heaven.  Jesus is knocking at the door of every soul, waiting to take up residence in all who will believe. There is no longer any waiting, any need to postpone submission and allegiance to the Bearer of the gift of eternal salvation.  Jesus died on the cross because He loved us, so that we might live forever with Him.

“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
