“The Winning Team”
“The days will
come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and
encircle you and hem you in on every side.
They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your
walls. They will not leave one stone on
another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” Luke 19:43-44
These are
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ to some Pharisees that were in the crowd in
Jerusalem during His Triumphant entry into the city. Even though this warning was for the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, concerning the destruction of His beloved city, due
to the fact that they rejected Him. I
couldn’t help wonder if our own beloved nation is at risk of being dashed to
the ground by our enemies as a result of not
recognizing nor accepting the time of God’s coming.
The destruction
of Jerusalem that was predicted by Christ, started in A.D. 70, by the Roman
soldiers. The destruction of Jerusalem
took place because the people didn’t understand the significance of what was
going to take place with the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Today, many
people in our nation, to include some of our government leaders, not only don’t
understand it, they reject it, time and time again. Many
are blinded by Satan and his devious schemes, and live in a world of delusions.
They would rather live a lie, then accept the TRUTH. We, as a nation have turned our backs on God,
and I believe for the most part, we are facing a show-down.
But for
those of us who have ACCEPTED God’s merciful act of SALVATION, we have the HOPE
of Heaven. And I BELIEVE that He is
coming SOON to rapture His Children out of this old, wretched, sinful world and
into the glories of Heaven. I BELIEVE
it, because He predicted that He would come back for those who BELIEVE and have
ACCEPTED God’s gift of SALVATION. Just like He predicted that Jerusalem would
fall and IT DID!!! Where do you
stand? Unbelieving? Or Believing?
Just look at
it this way, if I’m right about it I WIN, and if you are right about not
believing it, I STILL WIN, because either way I’m on my way to HEAVEN, for ALL
eternity. Don’t you want to be on the
WINNING team? You can be by: CONFESSING your sins to God, and asking Him
for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART, that Jesus died for YOU,
and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT
His gift of SALVATION and be on the WINNING team, and on your way to HEAVEN to
live for ALL eternity. The alternative is an eternity in HELL, the place of
torment, pain and agony. Do it NOW,
while you still can. He’s waiting and
coming SOON!!
