and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the
age." Matthew 28:20
As earnest Christian believers, we must
face today as children of tomorrow. We must meet the uncertainties of this
world with the certainty of the world to come!
The political, social and economic
convulsions of our day only confirm the long-range wisdom of Jesus Christ and
prove the authenticity of the prophetic Word. Christians who may live even in
the worst of times will still know within themselves a spirit of optimism. They
are on the winning side and they cannot lose!
The promise of the Lord Jesus, “Lo, I am
with you!” makes ultimate defeat impossible.
To any man or woman, pure in heart, nothing
really bad can happen. They may die, but what is death to a Christian?
Not death, but sin, should be our great
fear. Without doubt the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the earth
and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Sooner or later that will
come.
But what of it?
Do not we, according to His promise, look
for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness?
Let us beware allowing our spiritual
comforts to rise and fall with world news or the changing world situations. We
who lean upon Jesus and trust in the watchful love of a heavenly Father are not
dependent upon these things for our peace.
For children of the new creation, the
darker the night the brighter faith shines and the sooner comes the morning!
