The Day Is Coming! Are You Ready?
Have you ever considered the question: Why did Jesus make it so easy for the cohort of soldiers to arrest Him in the garden?
Over one hundred men sent by the high officials to arrest a single man. It’s truly preposterous to consider that these armed soldiers were AFRAID of one unarmed, meek, and mild man, but they were.
JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth.
Have you ever considered the question: What would it have been like to return to the Father?
Take up your copy of God’s Word to read with me the words of Isaiah, the prophet of God.
“Who has believed our report?
(Isaiah 53: 1-3 NASB)
And to whom has the arm of
the LORD been revealed?
For He grew up before Him
like a tender shoot,
And like a root out of dry ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
That we would look at Him,
Nor an appearance that we
would take pleasure in Him.
He was despised and
abandoned by men,
A man of great pain and
familiar with sickness;
And like one from whom
people hide their faces,
He was despised, and we had
no regard for Him.”
JESUS MADE IT CONVENIENT FOR THE BAND OF SOLDIERS TO ARREST HIM IN THE GARDEN!
JESUS MADE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT HE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION!
JESUS MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR—HE IS GOD IN THE FLESH!
Even now, even today, we do not need to question whether GOD IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS, but there are other questions we must consider.
Have you ever considered the question: Am I ready to meet JESUS if today were the day HE returned from heaven to earth?
Have you ever considered the question: Am I ready to face the final judgment of GOD?
Do you know where you stand? SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD—OR—TOTALLY LOST!
Let us continue reading Isaiah, as we see what it is—EXACTLY WHAT—the Son of God did for you and for me!
“However, it was our sicknesses
(Isaiah 53: 4-5 NASB)
that He Himself bore,
And our pains that He carried;
Yet we ourselves assumed that
He had been afflicted,
Struck down by God, and humiliated.
But He was pierced for our offences,
He was crushed for our
wrongdoings;
The punishment for our well-being
was laid upon Him,
And by His wounds we are healed.”
JESUS IS COMING BACK!
Foremost, above all earthly decision—We MUST be sure that we know that we know—we are READY!
WE MUST BE SURE!!!
There is no middle position, no grey area, no fence-sitting, no in-between place—A person is either SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD—OR—A person is TOTALLY LOST!
Each person MUST know where he stands with God—TODAY!
Do you know where you stand?
The Day Is Coming! Are You Ready?
With every breath we have, we must sing of God’s goodness!
With every fiber of our being, we must love others in Jesus’ name!
With our everything, we must surrender our will, our plans, our agenda—to God’s!
Don’t give up!
The Day Is Coming! Are You Ready?
Have you witnessed to everyone in your family?
Have you witnessed to everyone in your workplace?
Have you told them how they Must Be ready?
The Day Is Coming! Are You Ready?
We must be alert & We must keep watching for the day Jesus will return.
Keep living for that day.
Keep testifying to others about the day.
The Day Is Coming! Are You Ready?
Have you given your heart, your life, your will, your all to—JESUS CHRIST, the SAVIOR?
“by His wounds we are healed.”
