Not Open Forever

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Not Open Forever

Matthew 25:1-13

Today the door is open but our text reminds us that the door will not be open forever. As I type these words, am hearing a sound of the clock ticking, reminding me that life is short and very uncertain. Perhaps the door of opportunity has just been shut through death. And we can be certain that death does shut the door of God’s grace for once we die, the only thing left is to face God in judgment (Hebrews 9:27). There is no “second-chance” beyond death for those who had no time for Jesus in this life. Once you die, the door is shut forever. Either you go through the door while you are alive or you will never go through at all.

Jesus uses this parable of the ten virgins to remind us that the door will be shut once and for all when he returns to the earth.

God is given you and me a greater grace today to come to him
Hebrews 3:15 KJV
While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name, you will not die untimely and you will not miss heaven.
