Fearful Foundling

A fearful sinner flounders his way through life, flopping this way and that, hoping that death will at last end his pain. At the end, he cries out much as he did at the beginning when thrust bodily into a frightening world. "I fear what comes next!" he cries, unsure and unsaved. Fearful foundling, you need not fear. At the door of the next world stands He who is called Faithful and True. Believe on Him and salvation is yours.

Fear is a constant temptation in this life. We fear when we fail to trust in God. Near the end of the Bible in Revelation 19, we get a vision from our witness, John, of the Savior. Not the Lamb, nor the weakling baby of Bethlehem in His manger, but the Champion of Eternity, the Redeemer Christ mounted on a white steed, coming in all His glory to make war on the forces of an evil world. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah comes forth to win back His own. There is no more time for those who would oppose our Lord God, as John tells in his testimony:

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. (Rev 19:11)

Alleluia! When He comes again, He comes to judge and make war. There is no need for us to fear eternity: Jesus is Lord!
