"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 8 July 2012"
Today's Bible Verses: Luke 21:5-38
"The Do's and Don'ts of Looking Toward History's End," might be a good title for Luke's report of of the teaching of Jesus on end times in today's Bible Verses. Jesus in these verses tells us:
(1) Don't be deceived (verse 8): The return of Jesus won;t be a secret. There is no need for us to set dates.
(2) Don't be frightened (verses 9-11): Human history will be filled with wars and disasters. How good it is to know, that god will look after His own.
(3) Don't worry about yourself when persecuted, but witness to your persecutors (verses 12-16):
After all, the people in real trouble are the one's who oppress God's Saints!!! Let the Holy Spirit fill your mouth with words about Jesus and fill your heart with love for your enemies.
(4) Don't give up when everyone seems to turn against you (verses 17-19): Stand firm on the foundation of your faith in Jesus. Others can hate you, but they can't do any lasting harm to you.
(5) Do flee Jerusalem when it is besieged (verses 20-24): This advice applied both to the Jews then living and to the lost who will dwell in the city as history's end draws near.
(6) Do take heart when the universe itself shows a massive destabilization (verses 25-31): This is a sign that Jesus Christ is soon to appear and is cause for believers to rejoice rather than fear.
(7) Do exalt in the certainty that God's Word is trustworthy, whatever life may throw at you (verses 32-33): This reminder is for the last generation, but we as Christians can certainly take heart from it from our own hard times today.
(8) Do be watchful, pray, and preserve and so earn the approval of the Son of Man (verses 34-36): Life here on this our temporary home has it pressures, and many of them are intense. But we as Christians need to keep our eyes focused on Jesus, and let NOTHING DISTRACT us from serving Him.
Today's Biblical Truth: "The cosmic signs and earthly chaos are indications that the decisive and consummate rule of God is approaching."
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.
Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Continue to Pray for Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian Pastor who has been sentenced to death for refusing to denounce Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and also for his lawyer who has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for defending him in the Iranian Court. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
