verse of the day

Sunday 21 March 2021

We are all in it together( 2 ) ( Revelation 20 v 11 - 15 )

 Yes we are all in it together, life and death, but we don't have the same destiny, for there is existence after death. Death is not the end ,it brings us into the eternal realms, it is hard for us to grasp  the idea of the term eternal.it means simple no beginning and no  ending, it will go on and on ,and on. The most important question we need to ask ourselves is, where and how shall we spend eternity?. The first thing we will face ,is God,  the one we thought did not exist, or the one we never give much thought to, occasionally we may have given him a thought. But we just got on with our lives, shutting him out, living as if he had no place in our lives, to busy to give him a second thought. On that day you will be held accountable  for all the sins you have ever committed, by  the one the you ignored  and rejected ,you will face your judge, Jesus. The one you heard about in Sunday school, or from godly parents, or a workmate, or from a minister at a funeral service. On that day forgiveness will not be an option, only judgement from which there will be no escape. Many talk about change ,but God is not in their reckoning, forsaking their sin is not in their reckoning, Christ is not in their reckoning. I want to finish  with words from a hymn by Hank Williams, called ,'The great judgment morning'.

                                              I dreamed that the great judgment morning,

                                              Had dawned, and the trumpet had blown;

                                              I dreamed that the nations had gathered,

                                              To judgment before  the white throne.

                                               And, oh, what a weeping and wailing,

                                               As the lost were told of their fate,

                                                They cried for the rocks and the mountains,

                                                They prayed but their prayer was to late.
