Luke 21:36
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape
all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Jesus speaks to us today about the last great move that we shall make.
He looks forward to that occasion with joy.
He looks forward with joy to bringing His redeemed bride from the old sin-cursed earth over to the new earth where God and we shall dwell together like a great happy family throughout all eternity.
But most people do not care to hear anything about this moving.
They prefer to dwell here.
But Jesus tells us today that this moving-time is coming to all of us. God never intended this earth as an abiding place for us human beings.
It is to be burned.
Therefore we must all move. Those who desire to do so and those who do not.
But only those who have made ready to move shall be permitted to dwell on the new earth, Jesus says. The others will be forever homeless and must stay outside in the dark, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Are you ready to move?
Are you ready today? Jesus says that we must be ready at all times and seasons. For He is coming in an hour that we think not.
Suppose the Son of Man came today! Would you be ready to meet Him? Would it be the happiest day in your life? Or the most terrible day you had ever experienced?
“Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.”
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
