Hope...

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

I read these words this morning and wonder, could this be the day? 

How often do you consider that this could be the day you see Jesus face to face?

World events are a chorus of chaos.  Overlapping and gaining strength.  False accusations fly with such intensity that people aren't permitted time to weigh the facts.

Even when facts are shown people rage in denial.  Denial of what God created man and woman to be.  Denial at the cherishing of the unborn.  Denial within the church at staying the course in integrity from the pulpit. Denial is everywhere.  The push to entertain rather that spurring people to worship in Churches has infected the Church.  Pastors who really are hired hands.  No true concern for the flock. 

Truth is, Jesus is God.
Truth is He created them male and female, with but one purpose for each.
Truth is we are to have Pastors who Shepherd the flock as Scripture says.
Truth is God's Word is the final Word.

Men and women will rage against those who are Christians and who are Jews.  Because God has set His seal on Christians and has chosen Israel. 

Human denial, human refusal to believe what Jesus has said will end in eternal punishment. 

But the message is and has been about hope.

Hope for all in Jesus Christ alone for Salvation.

Hope springs eternal in Jesus Christ.

Hope is alive in Him.

Hope is free for the taking.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.  John 3:16

Hope is available to all who would but ask.

It matters not where we came from. 
   He already knows.
It matters not what we have done.
   He already knows.
It matters not what we woke up to today.
   He already knows.

He already knows and still says "Come..."
