THE END IS NEAR!
29TH , JULY 2022
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ephesians 1-3
TEXT: Luke 21:28-38
28 Now when these things begin to
happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws
near.”
29 Then He spoke to them a
parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
30 When they are already budding,
you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
31 So you also, when you see these
things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.
32 Assuredly, I say to you, this
generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.
33 Heaven and earth will pass
away, but My words will by no means pass away.
34 “But take heed to
yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with [a]carousing, drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
35 For it will come as a
snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore, and pray
always that you may [b]be counted worthy to escape all these
things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
37 And in the daytime He was
teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the
mountain called Olivet.
38 Then early in the morning all
the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.
KEY VERSE:
“So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to
pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.” - Luke 21:31
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Are you ready for the flight to heaven?
THE MESSAGE:
Human ingenuity has developed in key and
sensitive areas of life; they are indicators that help to predict the approach
of the end of a thing and suggest the right action in order not to be caught
off guard. In the money markets for instance, skilled investors know what to look
out for in order to pull out of a particular capital market so as not to suffer
a devastating loss. Of course, those who are ignorant of these signs or choose
to deliberately ignore the warnings live to count their losses.
Jesus, in the verses preceding our text,
outlined before His listeners, signs that would herald the end of time. Now He
tells them that as soon as they see the signs coming to pass, they must be
prepared as the end is bound to come. He warned them against acts that can
hinder them from noticing the approach of the end of things. And told them to
remain sober, watchful and prayerful if they did not want to be caught
unawares.
The happenings around us are signs that the
end is near. The increase and lack of restraint in sins, the growth in
knowledge and technology, the increase in war, civil disturbances, social
unrest, insecurities, the persecutions of Christians, the multiplication of
falsehood and the falling away of many from the faith, etc., all attest to this
fact.
Wise believers must take to the counsel of
Christ to watch, pray and get rid of everything that will deaden their
spiritual sensitivity. This, we must do so that we can sail unhindered when the
time comes for us to depart! Let all the signs you see make you know that the
end is near.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
