Our paragraph topic is: (The sign of the last day) Part 6.
He has told us beforehand what to expect when the last day comes. He has told us what to look for on the last day, what the signs will be, what will happen, who to believe and who not to believe. Christ has given us all that we need to know. Believe it or not. It is written for all to see, for all to read, for all to know for their own knowledge. The words have been spoken from the mouth of spokesperson of God.
Christ came that we might believe that he came from the Father. He came so that we would know that there is one true God above all other gods that we might think or believe. He gave examples. He showed miracles that no other person before him had completed. He cured the lepers, made the lame walk, healed the sick, raised the dead, forgave sins of those who transgressed, and he challenged the rulers of the day to stop the corruption. Yet many did not believe, and evil was well engrained in the rulers and the people.
Jerusalem will be destroyed. The last days are coming. Great tribulation will be upon the people. He has told them beforehand. These were the words of Christ Jesus to his disciples letting his disciples know what was coming in the future. He wanted them to be aware of the corruption they could not see now that would lead to the destruction later. If they tell you that Christ was coming, "Do not believe," he told them. There would be false prophets, and false christs. There would be all kinds of false signs in order to lead many astray. Be careful of what you see and what you hear, he told them. "If therefore they say to you, 'Behold, he is in the desert,' do not go forth."
Each day be watchful. No one knows when the end will come. Only the Father knows of that day and of that time. So, each day, rise, and watch, for the signs as though you were expecting the end to come. Know that time is limited, and no day is given to you as eternal. Expect not to live one day as though it were the same as the next. For we know not when it may be our last. Christ calls and we must go, weather we want too or not. He is our Lord and Savior who paid the price for our sins. He it is who gave us new life if we choose to accept it. He will come to call us, and the last day will come.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
