One Day.

Friday, March 04, 2011
One Day. We all woke up that day to a normal September morning. Most of us were relatively comfortable with our lives. We had eaten breakfast and been looking ahead to just another weekday in the life of a regular American. Millions of people were going off to work expecting to see their families that evening as usual. Then the first plane hit the first tower, and everything changed forever. What a difference one day makes…
When the day begins it’s simply life as usual. As on that fateful day in September, millions will rise and begin their day as any other. They’ll eat breakfast, say goodbye to their families, and head off to work like another other morning. The world will feel the presence of God because of the presence of His people indwelt by Him. But by the end of that day, hundreds of millions will be gone from the face of the planet. And suddenly the world will not enjoy the company of all who knew Christ. What a difference one day makes…
He’s promised to come “in a moment – in the twinkling of an eye.” That term twinkling doesn’t refer to a blink, as so often we assume. The word “twinkling” literally refers to the amount of time it takes light to glisten off of the eyeball. Just imagine: in the amount of time it takes light to travel, all of us who know Christ will be gone. What a difference that one day will make…
The only question of the hour is a very simple one: are you ready? No one knows exactly when that day will be. That’s knowledge reserved for God the Father alone, according to what His Son told us while here. But Jesus did tell us of some things that would happen before His Father sent Him back for us. Beginning Monday we’ll start diving into those different events Jesus mentioned, and we’ll see how they are being fulfilled in front of our eyes. One day really makes a difference…
If I were you, I wouldn’t wait until Monday to start reading the evidence of Christ’s return to receive Him. This may be that day – and those left on that day will be facing literal hell on earth. Would you receive Him today? To find out more about knowing Christ, email me at the address below. The day is coming…and at the end of it, things will be forever changed. Get ready.



That’s just a thought, and I welcome yours.
Until next time,
