Pastor’s Pen
“… There shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, – And saying, where is the promise of His coming?”
2 Peter 3:3-4
I am amazed and even disappointed at the spirit of even some who are supposed to be spiritual leaders, that are demonstrating an attitude of mocking, and derision, at their fellow brethren who are preaching and proclaiming the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Did you not read that even Jesus warned their would be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars (St. Luke 21:25); Preparing us to be ready for His return. “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (St. Luke 21:28)
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (St. Luke 21:36) Was Jesus spreading the spirit of fear? (Please note these scriptures) Psalm 111:10 -“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Proverbs 9:10 -“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 14:6 -“A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not.”
I tell you, I have heard preachers all my life, preaching on the coming of the Lord. And it always put fear in my heart, because back then, I knew I was not ready. And it made me want to get ready. I am still looking and now anticipating the soon return of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Revelation 22:20 -“He which testifieth these things saith, surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
Love,
