1 Thessalonians 5:1-2 Now brothers about times and dates, we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
I have no fear of 12/21/12 being the end of the world.
I know with certainty I will awaken 12/22/12 and the world will still be here.
Jesus said no one but the father knows when the end is coming.
Matthew 24: 36. But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
One thing I know about Jesus is he always keeps his word and promises and his words are true, to be believed.
if he says no one knows but Father God, I believe that to be true.
In saying that, every day we should be prepared that it could be the day Jesus returns and in saying that, we need to always remember the great commission Jesus gave to us, to go out and tell others about him.
Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The world needs to hear the saving message of hope and love that only comes from Jesus.
Yes! It always bothers me when supposedly religious people start pointing at signs and dates and then make proclamations about end times.
ReplyDeleteThe Mayans may have foretold the end of the world but for some reason they didn't know about the end of their own civilization.
