And Then Shall the End Come


















"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."  Matthew 24:14

What are we waiting for?!  Jesus will come when the gospel has been preached in all the world.  And yet we just wait for others to do it?  We can make a difference! 

In Isaiah 60:1-3, we are given a divine command.  Notice it's not a suggestion, but a command.

"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth...but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."

"The Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee."  When we do God's work, do others see Jesus in us?  Are we shining lights in our communities?  Do we use every opportunity to tell others about our Redeemer, about our Savior?  Do we use every opportunity to point others to the One who gave His life for them?

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."  Matthew 5:14-16

We have a duty to spread the gospel!  We are to be beacons of light in a world of darkness.  When we do God's work, angels work beside us and through us.  So, what are we waiting for?  The harvest is great!  And when the harvest is done, Jesus will come.


"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven...and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Matthew 24:30

Why Haven't You Come?

“ Let there be light ” God’s thunderous voice booms across a shapeless, dark object. Immediately, you see streams of light flowing across a lump of darkness.    “ Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters ” God’s voice booms and you watch in wonder as clouds rise and form a blanket around a mass of swirling water.    “ Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear ” God says, and you watch in awe as dry land peeks out from beneath the rolling waves.    Then God says, “ Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth ” Immediately, the bare and desolate landscape turns a vivid green. You stare in delight as meadows bloom and forests appear.    “ Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let t...

Behold Him!

In this end time that we are living in as young people, the world is throwing anything and everything at us to blow us off our track.  The world is keen on separating us from Christ and making us to compromise with the world.  How can we stay on our path?   2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”  What does glory mean?  Glory in this sense means character.  When Moses asked God to show him His glory, God, in response, showed him His character.  (That story in Exodus 33 and 34).  In this verse, our glory, or our character, is exchanged for God’s glory, or His character.   This principle is that by beholding, you become changed.  I’m sure you have noticed that if you spend time with a certain friend, you start to act and think like them.  Maybe you have also noticed that when you foc...

Light in the Dark

It’s dark. There’s no moon, and the clouds cover the stars. There is no light whatsoever, and you can’t see anything; not even your hand if you were to put it right in front of your face. You can hear sounds that only the night makes, and you begin to feel a chill creeping in. All you want to be is home! You’re out in the middle of the woods, lost in the darkness. You could find your way home— if only you could see something; anything! But alas, there is no light. All is pitch blackness.  Suddenly, you bump your toe on something. Jumping, you think it’s a wild animal but realize it’s only a rock. Wait a minute, this rock feels funny. You reach down and feel the object carefully, making sure that whatever it is doesn’t decide to bite. Your heart jumps; it’s a flashlight! In your joy you pick it up and fumble around a little. It feels kinda old, but you refuse to let your hopes down. You feel for the switch, and immediately there’s a beam of light stretching in front of you. Hap...
