THE DAY IS COMING

            Jesus is coming, are you ready?

Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

            With all of the events going on in our world, I was reminded of the Blessed Hope this evening. You may not know what that blessed hope is but I am here to tell you. The Blessed Hope is the imminent return of Jesus Christ to this earth to take those who are saved to Heaven to live with Him forever. Did you catch the prerequisite of going to Heaven in that last sentence; “those who are saved”?

            You see, not everyone will be heading to that Blessed City. Not everyone will get to go through those “pearly gates”. Not everyone will see their loved ones again. Not everyone will see Jesus face to face. Why? Because not everyone is saved. Not everyone has repented of their sin and trusted Jesus as Saviour.

            Are you one of those people? Have you trusted Jesus as Saviour? There is a day coming when you will stand before the Lord and give account of what you did with Jesus. What will you hear?

THERE’S COMING A DAY!

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-6

The Children of Israel had a blessed hope of being delivered form all of the oppression, bondage, and slavery they had been enslaved in. But they had hope in the coming Messiah would come and set them free! That the Messiah would make everything right! That the Messiah would conquer their enemies! In much the same way, the blessed Hope is still alive today! We look for Jesus to return to set us free; free from deceptive Self, free from the bondage of Sin, and free from the satanic influences thrown at us day after day!

I don’t know about you this morning but I am looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of Jesus Christ my Saviour!
