3/16 Fundamental Thoughts

What A Day That Will Be

              As I read the scriptures in Luke 21:25-28 quoted below, my first thoughts are found in the Book of John:

John 3:36  …and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

              When we see the signs described below, the souls who have not accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour will have waited too long. I do not understand fully the extent of God’s wrath; however, I do know it is an eternal wrath.  I also know when we see our Jesus in those clouds, they will have put off their Heavenly eternity one too many times, and the wrath of God will be their personal eternity, a forever, and ever, and an everlasting eternity, beginning in Hell and finally completed in the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:13-15  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.  (14)  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  (15)  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Jesus tells us in John 3:16 that “…whosoever believeth in him should …but have everlasting life.”  Life with Christ is also an everlasting, eternal, and forever, and ever life; a glorious life, with never another tear, never another parting, and never another broken heart.  “What A Day That Will Be When My Jesus I Shall See.”

              Our Bible tells us to watch for His return.  He tells us in Scripture that no man knows the hour, so we must be ready for that any moment or hour within which Jesus will return.  

Matthew 24:35-36  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  (36)  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

              Do you know Jesus as your personal Saviour?  Do you know if you died today that heaven would be your home?  You, as a soul, will live eternally.  You can make the choice today.  Where do you want to call home, Heaven with Christ, or live with the wrath of God in that eternal lake of fire?  The Choice is yours.  Decide today your future.  What kind of day will you have?

Luke 21:25-28  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;  (26)  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.  (27)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.  (28)  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
