			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Pilate asked them, &#8220;What should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?&#8221; Matt. 27:22</h3>

<p>Pontius Pilate said it first but it applies to each of us today</p>

<p>Pilate washed his hands of Jesus (Matt 27:24). Have you done the same?<br />
Have you decided that you don&#8217;t need Him and dismissed your one true hope?<br />
Have you called Him Christ and then put Him aside to continue your life the way you wanted?</p>

<p>Maybe you&#8217;re &#8220;not ready&#8221; to answer this question.<br />
That&#8217;s okay the question will stay right there until it is answered.<br />
But when would you rather answer it&#8230; now when it applies to the future or at the end when it applies to the past?</p>

<p>This may not apply to you because you love Him dearly.<br />
He said &#8220;If you love me then obey me&#8221; &#8211; so do you really love Him?<br />
Can you apply Galatians 2:20 to your life and not fall short of it?<br />
(By the way don&#8217;t think because I am writing this that I escape it &#8211; I fall as short as anyone does!)</p>

<h4>What shall I do with Jesus?</h4>

<p>Examine your life now.<br />
One day we shall all stand alone before the throne of Almighty God and how we answered this question daily will be remembered.<br />
What will happen then?<br />
Will it be said that we responded with joy and thankfulness when He sent some dear soul to tell us about Him ?<br />
Will we be able to freely and humbly admit that we served Him with all we have?<br />
Will it be shown that as He was not ashamed to wear our sins as wounds we were not ashamed to wear Him on our sleeves?<br />
Will it be noted that we turned our lives around and gave up everything to seek only to serve and love Him each day?<br />
Or will it be said that we scoffed and ridiculed His servant when all they were doing was showing His love for us?<br />
Will we hang our heads as we admit that we were too embarassed to admit we loved Him?<br />
Will it be shown that we were too ashamed of the gospel to ignore the ridicule and risk of rejection and witness to others about that love.<br />
Will it be noted that we worshipped and prayed on Sundays but filled our lives with things we knew would distract our lives from serving Him.</p>

<h4>What shall I do with Jesus?</h4>

<p>If you have not made Him your personal Lord &amp; Saviour ask yourself this..</p>

<p>How many chances do you think you will get?<br />
If you died tonight where would you go?<br />
Don&#8217;t care?&#8230;well you should. Why does an embryo grow limbs if there is no life after the womb?<br />
You can&#8217;t think or theorise your way out of hell &#8211; it&#8217;s real and in hell there is no second chance.</p>

<h4>What shall I do with Jesus?</h4>

<p>If He is your saviour then ask yourself this&#8230;<br />
If He took you home now, how would your service of Jesus read? <em>&#8220;Full of action through faith&#8221;</em> or <em>&#8220;Full of intention and waste&#8221;</em>?<br />
Have you today done all that you can for Him?<br />
Sounds harsh? Well how harsh will it sound when He says &#8220;I never knew you&#8221;?</p>

<h4>What shall I do with Jesus?</h4>

<p><em>It&#8217;s time to answer&#8230;</em></p>
