"The Last Sunday". That's the title of a song recorded by the Cathedral Quartet many years ago. It tells the story of a normal Sunday morning; some people off to church, some going to the lake, others mowing their lawn, some involved in illicit affairs, others seeking the things of God.
Suddenly, business as usual is interrupted by the sound of an angelic trumpet, and the sudden disappearance of those who are ready for the rapture of the saints.
The song speaks of the terror inside of a church as half the congregation is suddenly missing. While, at a local bar, no one notices anything unusual. An elderly woman is gripped with fear as children who were playing by her yard are gone!
Jesus actually said that it would be just this way. People would be eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage- business as usual.
There will be no 2 minute warning prior to this event! Yet, multitudes live as if this day cannot possibly overtake them as a thief in the night, but, this is exactly the way that it will happen according to the Bible.
So, in light of this, how are we to live? The answer is simple: Live as if you are expecting the Lord to come today! Do not foolishly presume upon some future opportunity to get ready that may never come.
We have His word, we have His promises, and we have the promptings of the Holy Spirit. In other words, we have everything that we need to be prepared for this blessed event whenever it transpires.
May we live in the light of this truth.
God bless.
Welcome!
My prayer is that you will find something here that will encourage you to love the Lord with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength. In this day of cheap grace and easy and crossless discipleship, I have a sense of urgency to challenge Christians to make their calling and election sure by examining their life in light of the teachings of God's eternal word.
