🫶Reunion or Retirement 🛌🪟

 👁️The Jesus that men want to see is not the Jesus they really need to see.  👀 ~G. Campbell Morgan~

1 Thessalonians 4:13 (KJV) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

In this verse the Apostle Paul writes about an event that will take place. Paul doesn’t want his readers to be uninstructed, uninformed, untaught or unenlightened about this event. Now this event that Paul was writing about was the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. This event which was a future event and still is a future event except for this event is much, much closer than it was when the Apostle Paul was writing. Why should I say such? You decide for yourself.  Matthew 24:3 (KJV) And as he (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?                                                   Matthew 24:4 (KJV) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. The question of when, was followed by the warning of deception. Then in verse 10 there was hatred, in verse  11 there were false teachers, verse  12  sin is abounding and love becoming cold,  in verse 14 while all this is going on the Gospel is still being preached in all the world. One does not have to be a rocket scientist to see those things taking place now. People are more confused today than I have ever seen. They are confused about what makes them happy, confused about what real wealth is, confused in their thinking, about when life began, about who they are, about which Bible is correct, has or did God make a mistake for who am I really, about gender, sex, love and the list goes on and on. Who do we believe? Who do we trust? What will become of us? Why do I feel like this? We get up in the mornings so we can go to work, so we can come home, so we can go to bed, so we can get up and do it all again. One, oh yes one day I’ll be able to retire and rest and live comfortably. You think? Well that’s my plan. No, that's not your plan, that's someone else’s plan for you. God has a much better plan for you. The apostle Paul said I don’t want “you to be ignorant, brethren” I don’t want you to be hopeless “even as others which have no hope” as the song writer said long ago   “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness  on Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” If our directions aren’t right can we say we are heading the right way? If our foundation isn’t solid then we may be on sinking sand. What are we looking forward to? Retirement or Reunion?
