But what does it mean to \u003cb\u003erepent\u003c\/b\u003e? Let me give you an example. Imagine you’re driving down an unfamiliar, lonely two-land road and you see a sign that says, \u003ci\u003e“Road Closed 1 Mile Ahead.”\u003c\/i\u003e You think to yourself, “that looks like an old sign that somebody forgot to put away: I can probably ignore it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePretty soon you see another sign that says, \u003ci\u003e“Road Closed 1\/2 Mile Ahead.”\u003c\/i\u003e Frustrated at the highway department for leaving so many signs around, you continue driving. Cresting a slight hill, you come upon temporary barriers which have been placed across the road, and as you slow to a stop you see why the signs were there. A bridge has been washed out by a flooded stream, and there is no way to continue driving without plunging into the raging torrent below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt that point, you “\u003cb\u003erepent\u003c\/b\u003e”; you decide that driving forward doesn’t make sense anymore, and you turn around and head back the other way. Then you begin to wonder, “what if I had driven this road in the dark? What if I hadn’t seen the barrier in time to stop?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus said that we never know when we’re going to reach the end of our road here on earth, and that we need to \u003cb\u003erepent\u003c\/b\u003e in order to be ready for what’s after this life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e“There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
