Snow's A Commin'

Grocery store was full....
Carts and people running everywhere to get the last minute items.
Batteries....
Milk....
Bread....
Eggs......
Etc...
Etc....

Look into the faces of the people and every one seems caught up in their own world.
Caught up trying to make sure they don't get stranded or have to do without when the storm hits.
Cashiers look haggard and tired from dealing with an endless procession of people.
Not every one is on good behavior.
Nerves are frayed and tempers are running kind of high.
I saw two people reach for the last loaf of bread and a minor skirmish broke out.
The snow is coming.
Weather people relayed the message. They had been watching and taking note of what was happening, now it was the moment to tell everyone............get ready. Make sure you are ready.
You don't want to be caught unprepared.
When people heard the news they immediately began to draw up a list of what they needed to do. As the time drew closer they upped their preparation to insure their safety.

Why do people ignore the Gospel? Why does the word fall on deaf ears and hard hearts? Why do we ignore our own spiritual condition and state in order to embrace the life style and ways of this world?
Why do people ignore the proclamation that Jesus is returning?
Revelation 22:17 -  "Behold I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done."
Jesus states that His reward is coming back with Him to be handed out to everyone. "Oh Boy....Rewards! That has to be good...right?" Well, Jesus says that the reward is based on what we have done.
Some may feel that have done a lot. Fed the poor. Gave to Red Cross. Served as a greeter at the community Thanksgiving dinner. I don't think that is what Jesus has in mind. "What We Have Done," Is in reference to what did we do with the message of salvation. Did we receive Christ as Lord and Savior or did we reject the offer of eternal life?

I don't see an urgency in others concerning Jesus' return.
Is everyone here on planet earth ready to be received by Him?
I don't think so.
I do believe that some truly in their heart of hearts think that they are in good standing with Jesus.
"I'm a good person. I have a good heart."
As a Sunday School teacher once told me when I was a little boy...."The road to hell will be littered with the good." Kind of frightening for a 10 year old, but none the less effective.

Romans 10:9-10
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

As the days here grow spiritually darker and darker, people's hearts grow colder and harder. The message falls on deaf ears and stone hard hearts. Don't let this happen to you. Don't be one of the ones who simply pushes the message of salvation away and continue down the path to spiritual destruction and damnation.
let the message of Jesus and cross flood you and awaken you to the truth of your current spiritual state.
No one is so "lost" that Jesus cannot find and save them.
There is no pit so deep that Jesus is not deeper still.
