The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Joel 2:31-32, “The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
32 “And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD will be delivered;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.”

Our world is saturated with special days. We have Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, Memorial Day, New Year’s Day, Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day, Labor Day, Washington’s Day, Lincoln’s Birthday, National Bird Day, Palm Sunday, April Fool’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Good Friday, Armed Forces’ Day, and the list goes on.

Yet, there is one special day that ranks above all others: “The Day of the LORD.” This day will not be as pleasant as the other days, yet it will exceed them beyond all expectations. It is an awesome day, not at all a day to be desired, for “the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood…” It is a day when the wrath of God is poured out upon those who have rejected Him.

Make no mistake about it, none of us is worthy of escaping the wrath of Almighty God! Each of us has sinned against the LORD and is worthy of His sternest displeasure. Yet, because God is love, He has provided a way of escape from the penalty for sin. From the Garden of Eden, the LORD has required that man offer a sacrifice for his sin. In His plan for man’s forgiveness, God offered His own Son on the Cross of Calvary as that supreme Sacrifice. You can accept Jesus’ sacrifice for you sins or you will die in your sins and spend eternity in Hell, separated forever from our loving God.

The Day of the LORD is nearing with every passing day. Soon, time will have depleted itself and those who have failed to accept Jesus will suffer for eternity. The Bible says, “Now is the accepted time; today is the Day of Salvation.” Accept Jesus Christ as God’s Sacrifice for you, and do it today! Jesus is the only way, and time is swiftly running out….

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
