The Truth Must be Told
Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The truth of the Word of God must be told to all. It will be then left to Jesus whether it is their time to come to Him or whether they will come to Him at all. Jesus Christ has already predestined those who will be in Heaven with Him but we do not know who they are. That is why we must continue to tell everyone the gospel of Jesus Christ. There are people in the world that simply do not believe in the Bible or in Jesus Himself. We will not change those unless Christ is with them. But the Bible is the true Word of God and Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour. There has been many generations pass since Jesus was here on earth. If you read in the Old Testament you will see that time after time people that believed in God and followed His Word would turn away from Him after there had been no signs from God. Those people were destroyed and their cities. We must not keep going in the direction we are going, as a nation, and expect God to stay with us. It is a cycle that we do not want to continue. No one knows when Christ will return but we must keep our faith strong in Him for He is our only hope. We need a revival in the streets not just in the churches. Those that are saved have an obligation and a commandment from Jesus to spread His word. There are so many that will go to church but when Sunday morning is over so is their thoughts of Christ. In some instances people will not even discuss Jesus Christ outside of church. They will not mention His name or want to talk about it to anyone else. That is not how Jesus did it. He spent His time with the liars, cheats, and adulterers of this world. He knew that it was those people He was sent here to save. As Matthew 18:10-14 states: 10: Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11: For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12: How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? 13: And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. 14: Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. God is more concerned about the "one" that is lost than the thousands that are saved. We should not judge anyone but God will. This is not just some fairy tale passed on for generations. This is the most important thing that we must have on our hearts each and every moment of our life here on earth. The time we spend here in these earthly bodies is a very short time compared to eternity. This is just the beginning. We need to make the right decision to where we will spend eternity, Heaven or hell. Let us give God praise for all things today.
Matthew 25:31-46
31: When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34: Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37: Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38: When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39: Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40: And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41: Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
