The Sky is Falling

Every since Christ was raised again people have looked for His glorious return and while others believe that wait to be in vain those who have their trust placed firmly in Him know that nothing is in vain when done for the glory of God. You see even He told us that the angels know not the hour or the day that He will return. The message is to be always ready, always prepared that it could be today. The other side is that many have used the fact that He has not returned yet as claim that He will not return or the He was not who He claimed to be in the first place and that brings us to the manner in which we live our lives. If our lives do not reflect Him then how can those who come after us believe or see the truth. The day in which He returns will remove all influence of Him from the earth and all that will remain are those who have denied Him and the influence that we had on them. I do not believe that it will be impossible for people to come to Christ during this period because we are assured that those who come to Christ during this time will be called Tribulation Saints, but it is not to assure you that there is time for you then because the more that you deny Christ now the easier it will be to be deceived during that period.

You see it was because of this always being ready that the early church so eagerly spread the word. It is why they received the name the Way because their lives reflected Christ and showed that there was another Way, the Only Way and all others were merely false. There was no longer a need for blood sacrifice because His blood covered it all. There was no longer a need for a high Priest because He is the High Priest who sits on the right hand of the Father. We all con go into the Holiest of Holy's because He tore down the wall that separated us from the presence of the Father. There needs not be any other intercessor for us because He is the only intercessor for us. Muhammad can not lead us to Him, Buddha can not lead us to Him, our good works can not get us there, Mary can not lead us to Him, only Jesus Christ can lead us to Him and that requires one thing from us and that is sacrifice on our behalf. It is sacrificing ourselves for Him. It is relying on Him and not our selves that He desires. You see every day that He does not return brings us one day closer to His return and that time should be spent for Him and in assuring that others hear about Him and see His work through us. If all we leave behind are dusty Bibles and a life that did not reflect Him, who are those who were left behind believe?
