The last week I’ve had the privilege of working with our overnight
crews, and for the most part I’ve had a fairly positive experience. However, I’ll be
honest with you, working overnight is very tiring and I don't think I would want to do it full time.
What’s working overnight have to do with the title of this
blog? Well, last night I decided to take
my head phones and listen to some music and maybe some preaching while I worked.
I thought that by listening to something might make the night go by a little quicker and I wouldn't be so tired. Well, it made the night go by quicker, but it didn't help with the wearyness.
I started out listening to Pandora
radio, but then I found a couple of messages of Rev Jeff Arnold and Rev Anthony
Mangun on YouTube and got a little word while I worked.
Both were really good, but for some reason Bro Anthony’s message
really spoke to me and the title of his message included the three words we don’t
hear anymore.
Those three words are “Jesus is coming”.
Now l know that I’m about to lose most readers, because
those three words scare most folks. We
don’t hear Preachers preaching on that subject anymore because it scares people
and we don’t want people scared or upset; we want people happy, excited and
enthused.
However, as a Preacher I think we have a responsibility to
the saints to do exactly what 1 Thessalonians 4:18 says do, “Wherefore comfort
one another with these words”.
It should bring comfort to us, knowing that soon we’ll be
caught up in the air to meet our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It should excite us that in just a short
amount of time we could be walking on streets of gold, meeting up with our
loved ones and getting to see Jesus for the first time. I don’t know about you, but that excites
me.
I want to see as many people make heaven as possible and in
order to do that I know that I’ve got a responsibility to inform them on how
they can make it. Just like Peter did in
the book of Acts, I want to answer the question that many will be asking, “What
must we do”. The answers the same;
repent and turn away from sin, be baptized in Jesus name and have those sins
washed away and receive His Spirit. It’s
just that easy.
So I want to encourage those of you who are struggling with
finances…Jesus is coming! I want to
encourage those of you who are dealing with diseases and other health
issue…Jesus is coming. I want to
encourage those of you who are dealing with all the issues the world can throw
at you…Jesus is coming!
It won’t be long and we’ll be singing in heavenly places and
spending time with the One that died for us so that we might be able to live
with Him in glory. Yes, I want to
encourage you with three words that we don’t hear anymore…Jesus is coming! You
ready?
Just my thoughts on a page…
