“Don’t talk about religion.” “Don’t talk about politics.” What would Jesus Do?
✦ FORK IN THE ROAD ✦
A Message of Decision, Deliverance, and Resurrection
There comes a moment in every life…
when you stand at a fork in the road.
Two paths.
Two directions.
One decision.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction… and there are many who go in by it.
Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
— Matthew 7:13–14 (NKJV)
✦ The Lie We’ve Been Told
“Don’t talk about religion.”
“Don’t talk about politics.”
But Jesus didn’t stay silent.
He stepped into the brokenness of the world
and spoke truth where it was uncomfortable.
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
— John 8:32 (NKJV)
He didn’t avoid sin—He confronted it.
He didn’t fear power—He challenged it.
He didn’t run from the cross—He embraced it.
✦ PASSOVER: The Blood That Delivers
Long before the cross…
God made a way of escape.
“When I see the blood, I will pass over you.”
— Exodus 12:13 (NKJV)
A lamb was sacrificed.
Its blood meant protection.
Its blood meant deliverance.
But that was only the beginning…
Because that lamb was pointing to Jesus.
“For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.”
— 1 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)
✦ THE CROSS: The Cost of Truth
At the fork in the road…
Jesus chose the path no one else could take.
He carried our sin.
He bore our shame.
He paid our price.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
This wasn’t just sacrifice—
this was love in action.
✦ EASTER: The Power of the Empty Tomb
But the story didn’t end in death.
The stone was rolled away.
The grave was defeated.
The silence was broken.
“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.”
— Matthew 28:6 (NKJV)
Easter is not just a celebration—
it is a declaration:
Death lost.
Sin lost.
Jesus reigns.
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
— John 11:25 (NKJV)
✦ The Choice Is Yours
You are standing at a fork in the road.
One path is easy… familiar… crowded.
The other is narrow… costly… but full of life.
Jesus doesn’t force you—
He invites you.
“I have set before you life and death… therefore choose life.”
— Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV)
✦ Final Call
Passover says: You are covered by the blood.
Easter says: You are raised to new life.
So the question is not just…
What did Jesus do?
The question is:
👉 What will you do with Him?
