Jesus is our Salvation

Many disasters and calamities have been happening in the world now and these unforgiving acts of nature are driving us all crazy with fear. Well who wouldn’t? For the recent tragedies that happened in various parts of the globe there were thousands of people that had died, millions of properties devastated, and numerous lives were shattered. Many are having the dread that the end of the world is already coming – the judgement day of both the living and the dead. Maybe yes, maybe no but who knows? No one really knows when that time would exactly arrive as what the scripture says in Luke 12: 39 – 40.

And you can be sure that if the owner of a house knew the time when the thief would come, he would not let the thief break into his house. And you, too, must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him. – Luke 12: 39-40

The day will come like a thief who comes at night where everyone’s sleeping and in the comfort of their bed. It is important therefore that we are ready at all times just in case the day finally arrive. We never can tell. It could be on the next hundred years, or next month, or tomorrow or maybe it’ll arrive any minutes now, no one can really tell. So what should we do? Get ready. We mustn’t fear about the coming of the end, but we must worry about the judgment that will happen then. The world will meet its doom and all the people will be judged according on how they have lived their life on Earth. Let’s all worry not about the world finally coming to an end...but worry on where we will find ourselves after that. Because next to our mortal life here on Earth is a life of no ends and there could only be two possible places that we could be into – in the Kingdom of God or in the place of fire and darkness.  

Is it coming? No one else knows. So better change that question into, “Am I ready for the judgement day?” 

Signs have been given in the Scripture, but those same signs we have already seen and read about and yet the Final End is still not here. Signs have been showing for thousands of years now since the date of scripture. Though the anticipated end hasn’t coming yet in spite of the mentioned signs that we thought had already happened or have already happening, it doesn’t mean that we all now have to relax and take all things light and easy.

“There will be strange things happening to the sun, the moon, and the stars. On earth whole countries will be in despair, afraid of the roar of the sea and the raging tides. People will faint from fear as they wait for what is coming over the whole earth, for the powers in space will be driven from their courses. Then the Son of Man will appear, coming in a cloud with great power and glory. When these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your salvation is near.” – Luke 21: 25 – 28

I’m sure that while you're reading the scripture the pictures of past tragedies are flashing back into your mind. Many events similar to these things had also happened far way back in the times of our ancestors, even stretching back to our ancestors’ ancestor and yet the End is still not happening up to now. Many people have been anticipating the End of the World without thinking too much of their readiness for the situation. When disasters happened and you survived it, be thankful because you have been given another chances to fix your life and be a better person. You still get chances to get yourself prepared. On the Salvation day everyone will be judged – both the living and dead – on how they have spent their life on Earth. Meaning while you’re alive and breathing you still got loads of opportunities to get your path straightened and be the best person that God wants you to be. Realize it now and don't waste your time about things that really don't matter. Don’t miss the chances to arrange your life. You don’t know what’s waiting there in the afterlife but when you submitted yourself to Lord our God and accept Jesus to your life, you are saved from whatever dooms that lies there beyond. Jesus is our Salvation, our only salvation. Let’s put all our hope and faith on Him.
