Jesus is Coming

Praise the Lord.  The Lord is good. A very present help in trouble.

Times are changing.  At this very hour there is unrest in America.  Unrest to the point of individuals not conducting themselves lawfully.  Damaging property that belongs to someone else is not ok.  How is looting going to change anything?  How is name calling and cursing going to change anything?  

What people need to realize is that time is coming to a close.  There is not enough protesting that can change what is about to take place.  The word of God has already told us that there will be much pain and destruction as the coming of the Lord comes near.

In the book of Matthew chapter 24 the disciples asked Jesus what would the sign of his coming and ending the world.  Jesus answered: "And said unto them, take heed that no man deceive you.  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows."  Matthew 24:3-8

Notice the Bible says, beginning of sorrows.  How many are prepared for the sorrows that is about to come on the land?  Not many.

What is happening in our country has brought and is bringing tears.  With the pandemic changing the normal flow of life, many have been affected and hurt.  Many are without jobs and in need of care.  And this is just the beginning.

Some would ask, 'what is the answer?'  The answer is Jesus Christ.

Until the hearts of men change, there will always be hatred and violence.  Cain killed his brother for no reason, except jealously and hatred of him (Genesis 4:1-8).  The first brother on brother crime, but not the last.

Until the heart changes, there is no change.  Mark 7:20-23 says, "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.  For from withing, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thought, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; All these evil things come from withing, and defile the man."

Men, women everywhere need to repent so the Lord Jesus Christ can do a work in their heart.  The good new"of the Bible is Jesus can change a heart.  Once the old is repented of, the new can come in.  

For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Eternity is a long time.
