THE END IS NEAR!

29^TH  , 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
