March 6, I836 is a date that any Texan can recall. It is the final day of the battle for the
Alamo. Tradition has it that on March 5,
the leader of the defenders of the Alamo, Colonel William Travis, called his
men together to give them one last chance to leave before facing certain
death. Travis drew a line in the sand
with his sword and announced, “Those who wish to stay and defend this land for
Texas, step across this line.” 255
Texans stepped across that line. Jim Bowie,
sick and bedridden, asked to be carried across the line. By that time the next day, all of them were
dead. Hey, you also have a line to
cross. Many folk believe in God, but it
is only a head knowledge, like believing in the historical account of the
Alamo. But you must do more than simply
believe in God. You must commit to put
your faith in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus, and accept His
substitutionary death for you on the cross of Calvary. You must make the decision to cross that line
and commit your heart and life to Jesus.
Paul said in Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.” Have you
done that? Have you made that commitment
to Jesus? Have you crossed that
line? Message or text me for more information.
