A CALL TO ACTION ON THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: A CALL TO ACTION ON THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST

... Continued from where I stop yesterday, if you have been following morning meal for the past two weeks. I talked on first point yesterday.
The second key event was prophesied by Jesus in the same speech, as recorded by Luke:

“[The Jews] will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” (Luke 21:24).

The first half of this prophecy was fulfilled in 70 A.D., forty years after Jesus spoke the words. In that year the Romans under Titus conquered Jerusalem and dispersed the Jews among the nations. Jerusalem remained under Gentile occupation for 1,897 years — until June 7, 1967, when Israel won the city back during the Six Day War.

The Jewish re-occupation of the city of Jerusalem is proof positive that we are living in the season of the Lord’s return. Jesus said it would mark the end of the Gentile Age.

A Call to Action

There is no way to escape the conclusion that we are living on borrowed time. The signs of the times are upon us, and they are shouting for our attention.

Are you ready? If Jesus were to return today, would He be your “Blessed Hope” (Titus 2:11-14) or would He be your “Holy Terror” (Revelation 6:12-17)? If you have never received Him as your Lord and Savior, now is the time to act. Repent of your sins, and call upon the name of the Lord that you might be saved (Acts 2:14-39).

And if you are a Christian, are you living as if Jesus might return any minute? Have you committed your life to holiness? Are you praying for the lost and witnessing for the Lord when you have an opportunity?

Are you yearning for the Lord’s return? Can you say with Paul that you are a candidate for a “crown of righteousness” because you have lived your life “in the love of His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:7-8)?

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME. SAVE OUR SOUL, DON'T LET US GO TO HELL. DON'T LET US REGRET OUR LIFE. HELP US TO END WELL AT YOUR FEET IN JESUS NAME.

Good morning friends
