Mick sang it as only Mick can do in on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. The title of the song was,” Time is on My Side.” Those of us who were not yet teenagers believed the lyrics. Now pushing hard against seventy, the realization that time waits for no one hits home like a slap in the face.
The Bible has a lot to say about time:
Ephesians 5:16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Another translation says,” Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.”
- L. Hunt made millions as a Texas oilman. He was an aggressive businessman with little regard for time. His chief confidant, John, might be called in the middle of the night as quickly as in the middle of the day.
One night at 2:00 a.m., Hunt phoned John. He excitedly declared, “John, I just made the greatest trade of my life. I traded the here for the hereafter… I just got saved.”
If you have never trusted Christ as your Savior, you need to trade the here for the hereafter. You need to be saved. It is the wisest decision you will ever make.
This man grabbed time by the horns. He trusted Christ for his salvation.
Give it some thought.
