“Fair Warning”

 Luke 21:34-36

Watch out!  Don't let Me find you living in careless ease and drunkenness,

and filled with worries of this life.  Don't let that day catch you unaware, as

in a trap.  For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth.  Keep a

constant watch.  And pray that if possible, you may escape these horrors and

stand before the Son of Man.  (NLT)

     Here is yet, another gracious warning from our Lord God and Savior Christ Jesus.  Our God has given us a very clear picture about the future end of this fallen world, because He wants no one to be caught off guard and left behind to suffer the horrific ending of the devil's reign over this world.  As a matter of fact, Jesus left the glory of Heaven to suffer and die what we deserve.  And because Lord Jesus is God in the flesh, His death justified our rebellion and His resurrection from the grave into a glorified body that would never suffer or die again, became our hope.  For the resurrected Jesus in now advocating our justification before the Father in Heaven and the Accuser has lost his case against us and we are set free from the Satan's grip and the sting of sin, if we so choose.

     This clear message from Jesus is a warning to live every moment of your life justified by the blood of Jesus, to live every day in repentance, and to walk in the Light of God's Truth, because He does not want to catch you with your pants down.  Our Lord God and Savior has been warning us since the beginning of time.  Christ Jesus personally came into this wicked world to save it from the destruction it deserves.  He came to give us a new eternal life in Him, that would help us while we are struggling through this short life. God has written His Message in a way that everyone could understand—that in the time it takes the eye to blink, the end will begin.  Don't be one of the many, my friend, who will suffer on that great and mighty Day of the Lord, for your options will have run out.

                                 A Whisper of Hope

Don't let Me catch you sleeping, dear child...unless you are sleeping in the grace of My mighty arms. All those who are caught off guard will pay the price for not heeding and embracing My many warnings.  Be wise, be on watch, and always be ready, for I will come when least expected.

1 Corinthians 15:52

It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last

trumpet is blown.  For when the trumpet sounds, the Christians who

have died will be raised with transformed bodies.  And then we who

are living will be transformed so that we will never die.  (NLT)

                   For you know quite well that 

                     the day of the Lord

will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.

                       (1 Thessalonians 5:2)
