Work Hard!

  ~ Are These The Last Days Of Earth As We Know It? ~

 

The Unknown Time ~ Jesus said, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (Matthew 25:13).

 

“Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.  Do you not say, “There are still four months and then comes the harvest”? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest’!” (John 4:34-36).

 

Christian Response  ~  Time is short so work hard for His kingdom while there is still time.

 

Pre-Christian Response  ~  “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.  But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left.  Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left.  Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.  But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.  Therefore you also be ready” (Matthew 24:36-44a).

 

Are You Ready?  ~  There is only one way!  Jesus said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up [and He was on the Cross], that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

 

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God” (John 3:14-21).

 

Decision Time!  ~  What are you going to decide?  Are you headed for eternal torment or eternal great joy and satisfaction?  It is the most decision anyone can make while alive on this planet.
