Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:34-35 KJV
Few Lessons:
1. We are indeed in the end times, spoken by Jesus while he was on earth. Strange things are happening, evil seems to be on the increase, but God keeps on doing his work in and through his children. Are you expectant of his second coming? Do your present works and life prove that you are eagerly awaiting his appearing?
2. There is an assurance that this generation will experience the signs of the end of the times. In fact, God speaks in every generation, seeking to draw the hearts of men away from the ephemeral to the eternal. The question is whether we are attentive enough to hear God speak, or patient enough to wait for his directives.
3. God's Word can be trusted. If u can believe his promises, why would I reject his warnings? We want the blessings, the favour, the success that he has promised, but we reject his demand for holiness and purity. Can I accept his gifts and reject his person? Can I take what he offers and reject his demands of my life?
4. God goes on to assure us that even the earth as we see it now, with all its beauty, grandeur and style will pass away. Heaven will also pass away, and both will give way to new ones. Am I preparing for the new? I cannot hold on to the old and accept the new. If I do not let go of the old, the new cannot be received. God wants to make my life new, he wants to give me a brand new life, he wants to give me hope that will not disappoint. The ONLY way is through Jesus Christ, not activities, not morals, not the right principles; just an acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Do you have the new? His time of favour is here.
