1 | will the world end soon | Matt 25:13 | Hank | 17207 | ||
Dalprad, I agree with you: there is a lot of tension in the discussion. And to what end? We could, and I mean all Christians, drain the swamp of tension over future matters by leaving them where they belong, (do we really have a viable choice?) in the hands of God. By faith we believe that Christ will return: we don't know when. By faith we believe that the earth as we know it will change: we don't know with pin-point precision what those changes will entail. Our only burden regarding future events is to do what Jesus told us to do: be on the alert. But regarding present events, the here and now, He gave us a bushel of things to do in His vineyard. Doesn't the Scripture place far more emphasis on being ready ourselves for His coming and on ministering to others so that they too will be ready, than it does on amusing ourselves with time frames and other eschatological scenarios? --Hank | ||||||
2 | will the world end soon | Matt 25:13 | charis | 17282 | ||
Dear Hank, Amen! "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 NASB For those of you that might say this is out of context, remember that Jesus was speaking about tomorrow's food, clothing and shelter. To those who constantly worry about the details of the end-time, it seems as if they place more importance on the 'coming' days than the present day. Certainly they discuss it more. :-) I am certain that if we serve God now, we will serve Him on that glorious day, and all the tomorrows in between. In Christ Jesus charis |
