Now is not the time…
June 1, 2010
Jesus spoke often of what would be happening in society preceding His return. He reminds us that no one knows the day or the time, but gave us a bit of insight in how to recognise the season. He says in Matthew 24:13 “Learn this from the parable of the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.”
Jesus also says in vs. 12, “…lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” vs. 24, “false prophets and christs will arise and show great signs and wonders” vs. 37, “as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.“
Then Jesus reminds us in vs. 44 “Therefore you also be ready.” What a warning that Jesus gives us. You don’t have to be a genius to recognise that their certainly has been an increase and the love of many have grown cold. I pray that now is the time that we care not begin to play with dead things, things that are of the old nature. It is time to seek the Lord in a fresh way, desiring to be found busy and about His business, “Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.”
