Today’s Thought “Time Is On My Side” G. Ward

“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. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18

The ascension of Jesus (Ac.1:9-11) allowed His apostles personal witness of Selfless Love’s work of indiscriminate redemption for man. Moreover, this Selfless Savior desired a gathering of mindsets from His inner constituency that would renounce a religion of “what do I get out of this deal” mentality (Ac.1:6), while encouraging listeners to understand that HE’s at watch and more important, coming back to gather those entirely dependent on HIM. The apostolic age that we study in the New Testament had believers fixed on this premise (i.e. His return). This was taught unto every believer, not quarterly, nor in a preaching series given once a year, but when the Bread of Life was presented. Our era now witnesses chants of denial, then declaring and decreeing how much life there is (comparable to reaching into a grab bag of treats), avoiding WHO LIFE really is (Jn.14:6)…

Happy Thursday!
