Are you going to be ….LEFT BEHIND?
With all the economic turmoil that exists in our world
today, it is easy to see why there is increased interest in all things of an
“End Times” nature. From movies of the last several years such as Terminator Salvation, The Book of Eli or
Legion, our American movie-makers
have racked in over $10 billion at the box office with movies regarding the end
of the world….. And let’s not forget the all-time best selling Christian
fiction series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, LEFT BEHIND, which sold over 63 million volumes in a period of
fifteen years.
Why all this interest in the apocalyptic outcome of
mankind….because everyone knows, deep within their heart, mind and soul, that
we were created for so much more than this temporal existence……
We were built for GLORY….not ours but to display God’s Glory!!!!!
Now, many of the people I know are trying to live a good and
moral life….reasonable, BUT WRONG! Our “good life” will not get us into heaven
and the realm of God’s glory…rather our dependence on good works will
accomplish only one thing…it will insure that we will be LEFT BEHIND.
It seems to be a forgone conclusion for most of us living in
this world today that tomorrow is a “sure thing”; however, Scriptures paints a
different picture according to Luke 17:26-35. “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of
the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in
marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed
them all. “It was the same in the days of Lot .
People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But
the day Lot left Sodom Lot ’s
wife! Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their
life will preserve it. I tell you, on
that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left.
Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”
There is only one reason that you will be left behind…..YOU
DO NOT KNOW JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR…..Today you can change that with this
simple prayer:
Jesus, I am a sinner and today I ask you to forgive me of my sins, come
into heart and become my Lord and Savior. I believe that you died for me on Calvary and from this day forward, I want to be a new
creation and live for you. Amen.
If you have prayed this prayer, tell someone else what Jesus
has done for you, then find yourself a Bible-believing church where you can
grow and become all that God wants you to be…..they will help you live each day
for Jesus as you anticipate His glorious return…..He promised that He was
coming back to gather all those who are called by His name and take them to
their heavenly home to reign forever with Him…
So don’t get LEFT BEHIND!
Watching the Eastern sky….Anticipating His Glorious Return,
