Good Monday morning! Sorry about that school thing today. For fans of entertainment, yesterday was one of those days. The Daytona 500 race started the NASCAR season, a spring training game for Major League Baseball was on at the same time, and later the Academy Award show. Wait, whaddya mean no one cares about the middle one? Heh, heh, that does seem kind of mundane compared to the other two. This morning, the Spirit reminded me that a day like that might be the one when Jesus returns to take one and leave the other. That day we have looked forward to for many years could occur on such as day as yesterday.
With many people anticipating events where persons already rich and famous are given awards that make them more rich and famous while we watch, the event that comes like a thief in the night arrives and passes with few noticing. Yet, the event will not remain silent for long as the empty places will speak louder than any television event. Where did all the people go? will upstage the award shows, the sports championships, and any other worldly thing. The unsaved should rightly fear this day, but those saved in Christ Jesus look forward to the Rapture.
I think I write about this every year, but that means that the time and date only God knows is coming closer. The snatching up of those who believe in Christ may occur on a day when little or nothing is scheduled. The award winners may get years or decades to enjoy their moment in the limelight. Centuries of babies may arrive in the world and pass into old age before the events of the Revelation come to the world stage. Yet, the signs cause me to think the time is much closer than that.
I don't want to steal the glory given to the award winners yesterday, that may be all they get for a reward. At the same time, let us not pay more attention to popular culture than to the question of eternity. Love one another by sharing the Good News of Jesus!
Bucky
