The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

In John 14:3, Jesus said, “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

Then, He added the following thought to the one just quoted above:

Revelation 3:11-12, “I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
12 ‘He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
13 ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

The promise of our LORD Jesus Christ that He will one day return for His own hangs faithfully before us, as we patiently await His return. His Word is His bond:
He will return!

Meanwhile, multiple signs of Christ’s coming encourage us. At the same time, the lights that encourage us are a solemn warning to the lost to get ready. Our lives should encourage them! Moreover, our forthright witness should encourage them, also. Hope lies only in Jesus!

Some years ago, I chronicled our family’s worldwide evangelistic excursions in a book. Reading of the lives we touched then shames me for my lack of such witnessing today! What’s more, we are closer today to our LORD’s Return than we were then. We all need to be about our Master’s business! We need to share Him with our lost friends! How long has it been since you talked to someone about Jesus? It’s still not too late!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
