JESUS is coming – where are your children? (David d’Escoto)I recently read a timely and thought-provoking commentary by David d’Escoto on one of my very favorite websites – WorldNetDaily. (I think WorldNetDaily should be required daily reading!) Anyway, I thought this was so thought-provoking and so timely that I wanted to share it here on our convention blog. Please…READ IT…PONDER IT…SHARE IT! Jesus is coming – where are your children. (David d”Escoto)Make no mistake about it, believers, no matter what Christian denomination or non-denomination, whether you hold a pre-, post- or even amillennial position on end times, then you believe that Jesus Christ will someday physically return in power and glory to walk this earth again. C. H. Spurgeon, the 19th century prince of preachers commenting on Acts 1, reminds us all of this truth: “This same Jesus” will literally come again. … [L]et us be doing what He was doing before He went away. … If the Lord Jesus Christ were to come today I should like him to find me at my studying, praying or preaching. … Would you meet your Lord in idleness? Do not think of it.” Honestly, I don’t think Christians give Christ’s return that much thought these days. The reality of Christ’s return, a day unknown to any of us here on earth, is something that we have not gotten into our stream quite yet. Since many live as though our King will never come back in our lifetime, it matters not what we do with our time, treasure, talents and children that He has given us. In the 16th century when the Protestant Church was explaining how we as followers of Christ should be living our daily lives, they used the phrase, coram Deo. Coined by Martin Luther, it literally means “before the face of God” and carries the idea of living our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God and to the honor and glory of God. How about this for one heck of a coram Deo moment?… Please follow this link to read the rest of this column… |
