The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Matthew 24:25-27, “Behold, I have told you in advance.
26 “So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.
27 “For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

From what we read, outside of the Scriptures, mankind is exceedingly skeptical regarding any and every thing having to do with the Return to Earth of the LORD Jesus Christ. At the same time, there are those who love to play games with the idea, despite the exceeding seriousness of the situation.

Say what you will and believe what you will; but when clouds darken and gather in deep blackness over your head, it is a serious indication of a heavy rainstorm. Admitedly, too, when serious television programs (and there are still a few) are interupted with the announcement of tornadic activity headed your way, “It makes good sense to prepare a defense!”

The Scripture passage above is ever more serious than a tornado warning. We cannot deter tornadic activity, but we can and should always prepare for it. In the same sense, no one can delay Jesus’ Coming, but it makes good sense to prepare for it.

Within the space of my lifetime, there have been numerous books, pamphlets, sermons –all predicting the time of Christ’s Return. All were wrong; still, there is an accurate time – known only to the Father. Jesus Christ IS Coming Again, and preparation is personal.

Salvation does not lie in how moral a life you live, or in what church you attend or belong. Salvation is the business of Jesus Christ Himself! “Believe in the LORD Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). “”You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.” (Lk. 12:40) Have you committed your life to Him? Time moves swiftly. Don’t be left behind!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
