For The Time Is Near

It is pretty easy for us to tell when the seasons of the year change at least for us that live in places that have the four seasons of the year.  I live in Northern Maine where we do have the four seasons.  We can tell when winter is coming to an end after lingering around for several months because things will start to feel warmer and the snow starts to melt away slowly revealing our lawns that have been covered by mounds of snow.   The sun will start to feel warmer and birds and other wild life will start to reappear after a long winter of absence.

We can tell when the seasons of the year change pretty easily.  We can also tell that by looking at the world around us and all the upheaval that the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus is growing very near.  Each day that passes is a day closer to His return.  It is so very important for us to be ready and not allow that Day to catch us off guard and not ready.

The Wrath of God will be poured out upon all of those who have denied the Lord Jesus Christ and have rejected His free gift of salvation that He provides to each of us through His shed blood.  It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God still in our sins.

God made a way for us to have our sins forgiven by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth on a rescue mission to save us from our sins.  Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life and died on the Cross for our sins, past, present, and future.  Jesus arose on the third day and is now at the right hand of the Father in Heaven where He is interceding on our behalf to the Father.  One Day Jesus will return to this earth as the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  On that Day He will bring the Kingdom of God to the earth in full completion.

(Read Revelation 1:1-8 : https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+1%3A1-8&version=NLT  )

The Day is drawing near for the return of Jesus Christ and we believers in Jesus Christ must stand firm upon the truth of God's Word and our testimony in the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Church needs to be continually in prayer and proclaiming the Gospel message until the Day the Lord comes.

Lord,
We praise Your Name.
Help us to be Your witness in this word to the truth of the Gospel.
Help us to Go into all the world to tell the world about Jesus and their need for Him.
Come Soon Lord Jesus.
In Jesus Name I pray,
Amen.
