Why Straightway?

In the Scriptures, the word straightway means immediately or forthwith. In the Gospel according to Mark (Mark portrays Christ as the servant of God), we see the word straightway used 19 times. We see the word immediately used 17 times and the word forthwith used 4 times. If we look at the first part of the first chapter of Mark, we see straightway used to describe the activity of Jesus and his disciples.

10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

Dear friend, can you sense the urgency of the Lord Jesus Christ? Our Savior accomplished more in 3 years of his public ministry than anyone else could ever imagine to accomplish in a lifetime. All the books ever published could not contain enough words to describe the accomplishments of Jesus of Nazareth. He acted with purpose, energy and authority. The Holy Spirit led and empowered Him and the will of God was performed with unprecedented power. Jesus taught his disciples to act with the same urgency.

That same Holy Spirit wants to lead and empower you, if you are saved. Yield to the Holy Spirit’s leadership dear Christian and be prepared to act with urgency: straightway.
This world is in a state of emergency!!! We must straightway get to work and reach everyone we can with the soul saving message of CHRIST. The day will soon come when it will be too late for multitudes to receive Christ and they will spend an eternity in fiery torment if we don’t reach them; we must work while it is yet day. God wants no one to perish. CHRIST died for all, but they need to hear and believe in CHRIST to be saved. We need to pull together a mighty Army of God’s people who will serve the Master until He comes to judge the unsaved world and reward his servants.
