Our paragraph topic is: (The sign of the last day) Part 10.
What is truth? Christ is telling his disciples truths they can rely upon before the last day. They need to know. They need to understand what will happen when things start to go awry. Fear will come upon the people, and many will not know what to do. Many will panic and create lies and theories that suit their own thinking. But Christ wants to strengthen those who will listen and believe his words.
We believe in what we can see, what we can touch with our senses. These are the truths that we rely upon to help us survive. Christ tells us truths to help us know when the last day is coming, great signs and wonders, false prophets, tales of Christ appearing in different places. These are all truths that will happen that the people can see and witness with their senses to know and not be fearful of what is happening. He tells them another truth that they know: "Wherever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together."
They have seen this truth. They know this truth. They believe this truth. They trust this truth. They understand this truth. They can take comfort in knowing that once they see this truth that there is meaning in what they see and believe. Christ has told them. The world has given them proof of it and they can believe him and his words because he has called upon what they know and believe.
What do you know and believe today? Will you see the last day? Will you be alive when it comes? Will you see the great signs and wonders that are to come? Will you experience the tales of Christ being called in different locations? Or will your transition take place before this time? No one knows the time or place when it will happen. We only know that it has been given to us that it will happen. It has been given to us to believe or not to believe. It has been given to us to expect the worse or not to expect it. It has been given to us to prepare for it or not to prepare for it. It has been given to us to pray for his help that we may be worthy to receive his grace or not to receive it. The choice is ours to make. Where are you? What do you believe. What is your truth?
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.
