"And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed."Romans 13:11
Do you ever feel like you're listening to a broken record?
"Go to Hell, go to Hell, go to Hell, go to..."
There are probably several messages we could draw from this funny little sequence, but what spoke to me most was this, that in recent years we've heard the message repeated over and over again like a broken record, "The end is near, the end is near, the end is near, the end... and, "The Lord's return is at the door...";
Brothers & Sisters, yet, the fact is that we are very near to the Lord's return and there are many signs of His soon coming. So if the message sounds repetitive perhaps it's because the Lord's return is much nearer now than when we first believed -- even at the very door. And the whole point of thinking about and dwelling upon Jesus' return is that we want to be ready, keeping close accounts with Him, living holy and fruitful lives...spotless, blameless, at His coming. Our bridal love for Him will keep us looking up and listening for the cry; "Behold, the bridegroom comes!"
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU'RE LISTENING TO A BROKEN RECORD?
