FROM BEGINNING TO END!

” Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spirit before the throne; and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. Revelation 1:4-6

“Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. And everyone will see him- even those who pierced him. And all the nations of the world will mourn for him. Yes! Amen! Revelation 1:7

When faced with persecution and even death, how are we as followers of Christ Jesus to remain faithful to our Lord? The answer is really quite simple, it is through hope. Just as centuries ago, the world around us continues to be hostile and often times looks to be winning the battle. Just as those before us, we can stand firm. because just like them we know the end of the story. Jesus and all of his saints will be victorious in the end. At God’s appointed time, Jesus will come in glory and reveal himself to the entire world as the sovereign Lord. Those who love him will be glad and celebrate, and those who do not know him will be afraid, for they will be allied with Satan in a battle of doomed failure. Ultimately, Jesus will defeat them and usher in his eternal Kingdom. Where are you today in your relationship with Jesus? What does your relationship with Christ Jesus look like? Are you looking forward to His return or are you throwing hope to the wind with the hope that that the end of the story will never happen? I believe that God’s plan is in place and the last chapter is currently in process. Jesus is at the threshold and just waiting for God almighty to signal for his glorious return. It is going to happen! With prophesies fulfilled and with all of events of Israel happening around us it will be happening soon. If you have not developed a personal relationship with Christ Jesus, the time is now. It is time to ask him to come into your heart, repent of your sins and ask him for forgiveness. All we have to do is believe. He is coming soon! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
