Matthew 16:3
.......(Jesus Talking)..."Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky........but you cannot discern the signs of the times."
Man.....
You can't depend on anyone.
All that hype....
All that build up.....
And those Mayans couldn't even get it right...
December 21, 2012....end of the world...
I was looking forward to not paying taxes next year...
So much for that...
Such is the folly of man...
Let's file that one away with the Y2K...
Only God, the Father knows when it's check out time....
Truth be known....each one of us probably has family and friends that don't yet know Jesus. They aren't saved....
To see the end come now would seal their destiny of an eternity outside the will and presence of Christ himself. That is a nice way of saying..."Since they haven't been saved, they will spend eternity in hell.
Doesn't have to be that way.
Isn't it amazing how the devil and his minions spread rumors and false information....and we, as humans, buy into it.
According to stories I've read on the Internet (And you know that can't put anything that isn't true on the Internet)....there were people all over this old world who really thought that December 21st would be the last day for this planet and mankind.
My Bible has a different take and slant on the whole "it's all over" thing.
II Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout...
with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God...
And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Did you catch that?
Comfort one another with these words?
We are not to love this world....
We have to live here...
We have to work here....
We build a life and home and family...
But our hearts are to be focused on Jesus and His return.
I should live each day as if it were my last.
Let nothing be left unsaid....
Love like it's no ones business...
Give away freely what has been given to you....(Oh yeah..that includes your finances).
And should Jesus return today...you'll leave this old planet in the assurance that you have done what your heavenly Father expects of us all, who claim the name of Jesus....
And just by chance, you don't know this Jesus as your Lord and Savior...
It's a good day to make right everything that has been wrong in your life.
Talk to Him....( I know...you'll feel foolish, but trust me...He hears and He will answer).
Tell Him your tired of living life on your terms...
Confess the simple fact that you have believed in Him but you never really took the whole "Bible" thing to heart...
You kind of did your own thing, never wanting God to interfere.
Tell Him that you need Him, His forgiveness, His love, His mercy...well, just tell Him you want the whole package...
Tell Him that you are confessing....speaking out...telling that He (Jesus) Is Lord and that in your heart of hearts, you know that God raised Him from the dead....
Guess what?
You are now a part of the Family of God!
How cool was that?
Merry Christmas from the "B's" of Attalla!
God on you....
